He was willful, hard working, and a strong advocate for self-direction. To hear more about what Jeff was like, please listen to Remembering Jeff Meyerson with Erika Hokanson. If you’d

In the realm of modern software development, clear and comprehensive documentation is essential for guiding users and contributors alike. Developers often struggle to create, manage, and maintain documentation that is both user-friendly and visually appealing. In this episode, we sit down with Sebastian Lorber, the lead maintainer of Docusaurus, a widely acclaimed open-source static site

APIs are ubiquitous and critical to building modern software, and developers must frequently develop custom APIs to streamline user access to their services. However, making an API that provides a great developer experience can be a time-consuming endeavor. As a result, API teams often leave the final mile of integration up to their users. Speakeasy

Generative pre-trained transformer models, or GPT models, have countless applications and are being rapidly deployed across a wide range of domains. However, using GPT models without appropriate safeguards can lead to leakage of sensitive data. This concern underscores the critical need for privacy and data protection. Skyflow LLM Privacy Vault prevents sensitive data from reaching

The CAP theorem, also known as Brewer’s theorem, is a fundamental principle in distributed systems that states that it is impossible to simultaneously achieve three desirable properties in a distributed data system: Consistency, Availability, and Partition tolerance. Eric Brewer is the VP of Infrastructure & Google Fellow at Google and he joins us today. This

Companies have high hopes for Machine learning and AI to support real-time product offerings, prevent fraud and drive innovation. But there was a catch – training models require labeled data that machines can digest. As data volumes increase, the opportunity to get great ML results rises, but so does the problem of labeling all the

Elasticsearch is the most established solution today to search and analyze large amounts of logs. However, it can be costly and complex to manage. Quickwit searches large amounts of append only cloud data like logs or ledgers in a fraction time with significantly less cost than Elasticsearch. In this episode, we interview Paul Masurel, one

As Companies scale and their codebase becomes large, it can become difficult to measure team effectiveness. With so many moving pieces, and an increased lack of visibility, Engineering Leaders mostly rely on gut feelings to guide decisions and determine impact. Uplevel pulls meta-data from programs like Git, Slack, Jira and public calendar events and uses
