Transactions is what makes critical applications with state works in production, and it has been decades of research and iterations of having developers leveraging the tools that exists to implement transactions in their applications.

Ian and I are sitting down with Yoko (investor from a16z) and Tony (CTO from Inngest) to chat about the new Modern Transactional Stack (https://a16z.com/2023/04/14/the-modern-transactional-stack/), and how it's looking to shape up the industry in the near future.

Ian and I sat down with Stephen Balaban (CEO / founder from Lambda labs), to talk about how Stephen started Lambda Labs inspired by Japanese Anime, into a Computer Vision API, and finally a GPU hosted cloud.

We also introduced a new section called the "Spicy Future", and we got spicy :) Come listen to how we noodled on how we will get closer to AGI and what will happen when it does.

The Modern Data Stack swept in the industry last few years, and even though it's still in the buzz, it seems more daunting than empowering.

Ian and Tim sat down to chat with Josh Wills (ex-Director of Data at Slack / Cloudera) to talk about all things data, his dbt + duckdb package that he wants no more open source contributions.

Sit down and relax with this one, but we're sure you'll pick up something here with our YAIGers.

2023 is when the cloud should have 100% adoption right? However, we're seeing a surge of embracing your own bare metal in 2023 from companies all over the world.

Ian and Tim sat down with Zachery Smith (Head of Global edge at Equinix, ex-CEO of Packet) about his journey of starting Packet and the customer trends he's seeing from Equinix in 2023.

WebAsseembly (WASM) is growing immensely now beyond the browser, and now everyone is talking about how / when the adoption will happen everywhere else.

Ian and Tim sat down at Steve (CEO of Dylibso) that worked on WebAssembly in multiple companies and now building a developer tools company around WebAssembly.

Is backend dead? Is front-end eating the whole stack?

Ian and Tim invited several YAIGers to discuss about how front end and back end is changing, with guests:

- Kurt, Fly.io founder

- Jack, Principal Lead at Amplitude

- David, Stately founder

We all sat in a room with our phones on the table, and recorded this lovely chat before the SF meetup!
