Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

DOP 304: Strategies for Successful Talent Retention 32:30

#304: As we continue to navigate the complexities of modern work environments, the debate surrounding remote work versus in-office setups remains a hot topic. Companies are constantly reevaluating their strategies when it comes to talent retention, with the return to office being a significant point of discussion. On one hand, working in an office provides the opportunity for direct human interaction. This option can be particularly beneficial for those who are younger or new to the field, as they can directly learn and collaborate with their colleagues. Furthermore, for some individuals, an office environment provides the structure and engagement they need, preventing feelings of isolation that sometimes accompany remote work. In this episode, Darin and Viktor tackle what it take to retain top talent in 2025.

#303: In today's digital realm, command-line interfaces (CLI) are lifelines for developers, embodying the efficiency and power required to manage complex tasks. The goal in designing a CLI is not to overwhelm users with command intricacies but to allow them to navigate operations seamlessly and intuitively. In this episode, we speak with Wesley Beary, a founding engineer at Anchor, about their journey of developing a robust CLI for their product.

#302: As individuals, engineers may feel that the day-to-day tasks and projects they undertake are not life-changing. After all, if an engineer has an off day, it doesn't mean they're suddenly out of the job market. However, when we look at the larger picture from a business standpoint, the stakes are significantly higher. Companies that choose to ignore or delay engaging with emerging technologies might find themselves in precarious positions. The necessity of stepping out of the comfort zones to experiment and innovate is more important now than ever before. The failure to at least explore new avenues could mean missing the opportunity to adapt when the market demands change. In this episode, Darin and Viktor discuss while changes, like AI, might not impact your business today, when they do take place, the effects can be sudden, leaving little time for a reactive strategy.

#301: How many applications are in your organization that need to be kept up to date? More than likely, that number is every application needs to be kept up to date, if for no other reason than to keep your security teams happy. It gets even worse if you have 10s, 100s or even 1000s of applications. How do you make this manageable? In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan Schneider from Moderne to discuss OpenRewrite, a large-scale software refactoring solution. Jonathan explains how OpenRewrite assists in application modernization, security vulnerability repair, and code quality improvements.

#291: As we approach the end of 2024, a recurring theme in the tech industry is the impact of AI on software jobs. While some fear mass job displacement, others see an opportunity for unprecedented innovation. In some respects, it appears that the job market is experiencing shifts reminiscent of the Industrial Revolution. However, unlike the fear of robots taking over in sci-fi narratives like The Terminator, current concerns are rooted in AI automating roles traditionally held by humans. In this episode, we talk with Derek Ferguson, Chief Software Officer for the Fitch Group, about how new technologies historically create demand for new skills and roles, suggesting that AI may similarly open doors rather than close them.
