  • How Would You Type-Check 30 Million Lines of PHP? (with Julien Verlaguet)

    September 25, 2026 · 2 hr 22 min

    How would you manage 30 million lines of PHP? You can't rewrite it - you'd be fired long before you delivered. That was the problem facing Facebook around 2011, and their answer was to add a type system, giving birth to the Hack language…

  • DuckDB And The Burden of Success (with Hannes Mühleisen)

    August 26, 2026 · 1 hr 46 min

    Building something people actually want is supposed to be the happy ending. But it arrives with a bill attached: feature requests you didn't ask for, pull requests you'd rather not maintain forever, users demanding the one thing you swore…

  • The Enterprise AI Gap (with James Brown)

    August 12, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min

    My guest this week is James Brown, an engineering lead at Schroders, and that's a useful vantage point — asset managers carry all the regulation and organisational weight of a bank, mixed with the first-to-market pressure of a startup…

  • What If Every SQL Query Could Update Incrementally? (with Lalith Suresh)

    July 8, 2026 · 1 hr 5 min

    There's a problem that's bugged the database industry since the 1980s: you run an expensive query over millions of rows, cache the result, and then a single new row arrives. Logically that's one small update, but most engines throw the…

  • What's Worth Knowing In AI Right Now? (with Henry Garner)

    March 26, 2026 · 1 hr 40 min

    AI is changing the way we all build software — that much seems clear. But the landscape is moving so fast that even the people paid to keep up are struggling. MCP or skills? Fine-tune or just prompt? LangChain or let a thousand agents…

  • Asciinema: Terminal Recording Done Right (with Marcin Kulik)

    February 19, 2026 · 1 hr 27 min

    I have a theory that only bad projects get finished — good ones keep finding new things to do. Asciinema is a case in point. What started as a way to share terminal sessions with friends has, over 14 years, grown into a full suite of tools…

  • Building the SpacetimeDB Database, Game-First (with Tyler Cloutier)

    February 4, 2026 · 1 hr 41 min

    Eighteen months ago, Tyler Cloutier appeared on the show with what sounded like an ambitious (some might say crazy) plan: build a new distributed database from scratch, then use it to power a massively multiplayer online game. That's two…

  • Will Turso Be The Better SQLite? (with Glauber Costa)

    December 11, 2025 · 1 hr 51 min

    SQLite is embedded everywhere - phones, browsers, IoT devices. It's reliable, battle-tested, and feature-rich. But what if you want concurrent writes? Or CDC for streaming changes? Or vector indexes for AI workloads? The SQLite codebase…

  • Can Google's ADK Replace LangChain and MCP? (with Christina Lin)

    November 20, 2025 · 1 hr 5 min

    How do you build systems with AI? Not code-generating assistants, but production systems that use LLMs as part of their processing pipeline. When should you chain multiple agent calls together versus just making one LLM request? And how do…

  • Building Observable Systems with eBPF and Linux (with Mohammed Aboullaite)

    October 31, 2025 · 1 hr 11 min

    How do you monitor distributed systems that span dozens of microservices, multiple languages, and different databases? The old approach of gathering logs from different machines and recompiling apps with profiling flags doesn't scale when…

  • Solving Git's Pain Points with Jujutsu (with Martin von Zweigbergk)

    October 9, 2025 · 1 hr 12 min

    Git might be the most ubiquitous tool in software development, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. What if we could keep Git compatibility while fixing its most frustrating aspects—painful merges, scary rebases, being stuck in conflict…

  • Getting New Technology Adopted (with Dov Katz)

    September 24, 2025 · 1 hr 5 min

    Getting new technology adopted in a large organization can feel like pushing water uphill. The best tools in the world are useless if we're not allowed to use them, and as companies grow, their habits turn into inertia, then into "the way…

About the show

Deep-dive discussions with the smartest developers we know, explaining what they're working on, how they're trying to move the industry forward, and what we can learn from them. You might find the solution to your next architectural headache, pick up a new programming language, or just hear some good war stories from the frontline of technology. Join your host Kris Jenkins as we try to figure out what tomorrow's computing will look like the best way we know how - by listening directly to the developers' voices.
