Fredrik chats to Dylan Beattie about Rockstar, esoteric programming languages (Perl in latin, anyone?), and what might happen after the AI bubble.

AI will ruin jokes, they can’t do things just right. But some things hiding under the label are actually useful as well. Have we been in any similarly strange bubbles before, and what might be left that’s useful after it?

Also evolution, revolution, and strange Scrabble facts.

Recorded during Øredev 2025.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2025, Fredrik talks to David J. Cuartielles Ruiz about the birth and growth of Arduino. It’s fantastic when an idea comes alive and starts growing. We talk about how Arduino began, how it started to grow, how you find parts and get things manufactured in northern Italy, and of course a bit about the magical logistics king.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2025, Fredrik talks to Natalia Chepiga about quantum computing and where you, personally, might see it first. We need classical computers to make quantum computers better. Natalia also tells us of the very natural way she got into quantum research, and encourages us to help make the future we want!

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2025, Fredrik talks to Simon Wardley about maps (not the same as charts!), stories, commodotization, digital sovereignty, getting labeled a heretic by all sides, and a lot more.

Among other things, Simon discusses how you can map things out and thereby find new ways to present and challenge the current state within and organization.

Not that it will necessarily be very popular, hence the bit about being called a heretic.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2025, Fredrik talks to Sweden’s foremost trend spotter Nicklas Hermansson about how you become a futurist. From how Nicklas got there, what his days look like, and how he choses what to read and what to filter out.

Fredrik talks to Teresa Wu about devops for frontend and AI.

Why does frontend feel so complex? Does it have to be?

We also discuss the value of open language models, smaller and more specific language models and their benefits.

Is “AI” even a useful label anymore? Teresa thinks we’ll split into more specific terms over time.

Recorded during Øredev 2024.

Fredrik talks to Taylor Troesh about packaging things, generating code, and database evolution.

Why is it so hard to package and build things? Is it a failure of ergonomics? Is there hope for a change?

We also discuss generating code using LLMs, and Taylor presents the workflow of using them to generate projects from scratch, starting over if more fundamental changes are needed.

After that, we dig into databases and SQL, and Taylor has many thoughts and opinions about how they can be used and might evolve.

Finally, we discuss other interesting projects, keeping track of ideas, what the OPTC is, and why should you cut down a palm tree?

Fredrik talks to Maddy Montaquila about building user interfaces, and how .net has come a much longer way than people may think.

We talk about the various .net-related options for building user interfaces, mixing and matching MAUI stuff, Blazor stuff, and straight up web stuff. We discuss the way to go for Windows desktop apps among all these options.

The perception of .net - a challenge and something being actively worked on.

We also touch on actually useful AI, plus some unexpectedly fond memories of the touch bar.
