Holla! This week we're playing _Story of the Week_ and _Today I Learned_ before turning our focus to Vest – a very cool validations framework created by Evyatar Alush.

On this episode, Michael Matloob and Daniel Martí pinky promise not to talk about Go 1.18's two big features (fuzzing and generics). Instead, we're focusing in on the *other* cool stuff that's new!

We finally did it! All our static files are served from AWS S3. This is the most significant improvement to our app's architecture in years, and now we have unlocked the next level: multi-cloud. We talk about that at length, and how it fits in our 2022 setup. The TL;DR is that changelog.com will fly, both literally and figuratively. We also address Steve's comment that he left on our previous Kaiz...

From MIT researchers who have an AI system that rapidly predicts how two proteins will attach, to Facebook's first high-performance self-supervised algorithm that works for speech, vision, and text, Daniel and Chris survey the AI landscape for notable milestones in the application of AI in industry and research.

This week we're joined by Annie Sexton, UX Engineer at Render, to talk about her blog post titled Git Organized: A Better Git Flow that made the internet explode when she suggested using `reset` instead of `rebase` for a better git flow. On this show we talk about the git flow she suggests and why, how this flow works for her when she's hacking on the Render codebase (and when she uses it), the go...

Simey de Klerk recenty dove head-first into our transcripts repo and coded up a super-cool feature that's been on Jerod's wishlist for awhile now. So, of course, we invited him Backstage to tell the tale!

This week we are talking to Robin Morero, the person behind fabled.se, a DevOps consultancy from Gothenburg, Sweden. Their motto is "move faster and prosper", which Gerhard prefers to the initial "move fast and break things". Fabled works with startups primarily, and after 26 years, Robin has a few interesting insights to share. What do you think, are haunted codebases real? At what point do pull...

Amal and Nick load up on coffee for a _not-so-vite_ (lame joke!) conversation with Evan You all about Vite – a batteries included next-generation frontend tooling library. Vite continues to push the ecosystem forward with even stronger defaults, super speedy local development workflows, and a highly extensible universal plugin API. Need we say more?!

Natalie and Johnny are joined by the co-founders of APIToolkit for a deep-dive on the topic. We discuss building them, maintaining them, how can we all be better users, and much more along the way.

This week we’re joined by Jacob Kaplan-Moss and we're talking about his extensive writing on work sample tests. These tests are an exercise, a simulation, or a small slice of real day-to-day work that candidates will perform as part of their job. Over the years, as an engineering leader, Jacob has become a practicing expert in effectively hiring engineers — today he shares a wealth of knowledge on...

This week we're joined by Nora Jones, founder and CEO at Jeli where they help teams gain insight and learnings from incidents. Back in December Nora shared here thoughts in a Changelog post titled "Incident" shouldn't be a four-letter word - which got a lot of attention from our readers. Today we're talking with Nora about all things incidents — the learning and growth they represent for teams, wh...

Check them out as you hear us speak about the Inverse Conway Manoeuvre, and why you should always go for the bananas. If...

MLOps is an increasingly popular topic that is no longer just a subset of DevOps. Go is a great choice for infrastructure. What role does Go play in MLOps?
