Our guest is David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails, co-found...

This panel discussion was recorded at a recent event hosted by a company, Aryballe, that we previously featured on the podcast (#120).

What do _Story of the Week_, _HeadLIES_ & _Pro Tip Time_ have in common? They're all games we play on this seriously ridiculous episode of JS Party!

In this episode, we're joined by tech Lawyer Luis Villa to explore the question, who owns code? The company, the engineer, the team? What about when you’re using AI, Machine learning, GitHub Copilot... is that still your code?

Few genuinely need a multi-cloud setup. There is plenty of advice out there which mostly boils down to don't do it, you will be worse off. Vex.dev is a startup that provides APIs for video and audio streaming. The hard part is real-time combined with massive scale - think hundreds of thousands of concurrent connections. They achieve this by using a combination of Fly.io, AWS and GCP. Jason Carter,...

The Open Podcast Prefix Project is a free and open source podcast prefix analytics service committed to open data and listener privacy. This hits close to home for us in a couple ways, so we invited the project's creator, John Spurlock, Backstage to learn more about it.

People are starting to wake up to the fact that they have control and ownership over their data, and governments are moving quickly to legislate these rights. John K.

The right thing to focus on is the genuine smiles that people give in response to something we do or say. That is an important SLI & SLO for reducing...
