The technology sphere has a lot of buzzwords, but what do they all mean? In this episode, we take a lighthearted look at the “true” meaning of some of these buzzwords. Also in this episode, we revisit our cache performance discussion from last week to show the real-world, absolutely mind-bending performance gains cache hits have. Finally, we talk about what it’s like to write code for MS-DOS. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to write code back in the late 80’s and early 90’s or why minor tweaks to your code can cause massive performance improvements? In this episode, we are going back in time to the MS-DOS days to see what it was like to write software back in the day. We are also going to talk about cache performance and why optimizing your code to have more cache hits rather than misses can have such a drastic improvement on your program's overall performance. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.

Artificial Intelligence can be a powerful tool, but it is not without its pitfalls. In this episode, we tackle whether Large Language Models (LLMs) are worth using for software developers and if they do more harm than good, as well as looking at their pros and cons. Also this week, we look into the recent legislation “TikTok Ban” that just passed the United States House of Representatives and what that actually means for data privacy and cybersecurity. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.

Two of the most common architectures in software development are Monolithic and Microservices. Microservices might be the hip new kid on the block, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it's the best architecture for every software application. In this episode, we break down each architecture and compare what use cases suit which architecture to help you decide what is best for your next software development project. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.

The White House published a report calling for the reduction of memory safety vulnerabilities at scale and how creators of software and hardware can better secure the building blocks of cyberspace. In this episode, we dive deep into what memory safety is and the challenges associated with migrating all code to memory-safe programming languages. We will also look at what mitigation steps can be taken, such as secure coding, in order to better protect code written in memory-unsafe languages from common memory-safety vulnerabilities. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.
