The Cynical Developer

In this episode we continue our extended dive into AI with Ed Yau, this is part 2 of 3.

This all started back on Episode 101 be sure to go back and start your journey there.

Ed works as a Solution Architect at cloudThing, on behalf of a number of clients.

Having spent over 15-years in software development building different styles of Enterprise IT systems, he is really excited about the potential for Machine Learning, Cognitive & Bot technologies which look to deliver more intelligent User Experiences (UX) for applications. This is considering UX in the fullest sense, as a fullstack discipline.

In an area that is flooded with hype, Ed is here today to explain what developers need to know to get started with AI, and what is happening in the evolving world of bot technologies.

Ed was last on the show back on episode 44 where we talked about Bots and how they were taking over the tech space, just over a year later he's back today to give us more insight into the current world of AI.

In this episode we talk to Brandon Lyons about Vue.js, another front end technology for Javascript.

Where will it end!? do we really need another framework?

anyway...

Brandon is a Brandon fullstack web developer, with a passion on the frontend development, specifically Vue.js. He currently working at Mcity, an automated vehicle proving grounds located at the University of Michigan. Brandon first got into web development in high school by making basic html websites, and has been working for the University of Michigan doing web development for a little over a year now.

The first time Brandon used Vue was while building an account and data management SPA for the University hospital. Since then, he has grown to appreciate Vue even more and has become fully emersed in its ecosystem.

On a daily basis Brandon uses Vue.js and python to build a suite webapps for Mcity including an Account Manager, Project Tracking SPA, and my personal favorite, a frontend interface for Mcity’s traffic control api.

In this episode I want to challenge what you think practice is, what you were told as a child that it was, I want to give you something that will make a whole lot of sense and change your practicing for the better.

In this episode we talk about Rookout, with Or Weis, a new way to track to bugs in your online applications.

Or started with computers at the age of 5, and went on to be a developer, officer, and researcher at the IDF Intelligence's elite Unit 8200.

After his military service he was product architect at Intigua, founder and CTO of Reactful, consultant for the Ministry of Defense, and a VP of R&D at Netline Communications Technologies: cyber division.

Or created Rookout along with Liran Haimovitch to resolve the pain of understanding production code, a problem that his career has taught him too well.

In this episode I wanted to talk about a topic which I think a lot of developers suffer with at some point in their career, especialy those who are always rivng to better than they were yesterday, and that is losing your confidence as a developer.

I personally beleive it is tightly linked with Imposter syndrome and can be triggered in many ways, it can have an affect on your personal and your professional life a like.

In this episode we talk with Matt Ellis about the cross platform IDE Rider from JetBrains.

Matt is a developer slash developer advocate at JetBrains, he has spent over 20 years shipping software in various industries and currently works with IDEs and development tools, having fun with abstract syntax trees and source code analysis.

He has worked on several open source projects, with a heavy leaning towards plugins for JetBrains tools, from something useful, like adding xunit.net test runner support to ReSharper, to something less useful, such as Clippy for ReSharper. Yes, really. His current favourite side project is the Unity support in Rider.
