Looking for Root Causes is a False Path: A Conversation with David Blank-Edelman
In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke with David Blank-Edelman about the relationship between software architecture and site reliability engineering. Site reliability engineering can give architecture vital feedback about how the system actually behaves in production. Architects and designers can then learn from their failures to improve their ability to build systems that can evolve.

Cloud Security Challenges in the AI Era - How Running Containers and Inference Weaken Your System
Marina Moore, a security researcher and the co-chair of the security and compliance TAG of CNCF, shares her concerns about the security vulnerabilities of containers. She explains where the issues originate, providing solutions and discussing alternative routes to using micro-VMs rather than containers. Additionally, she highlights the risks associated with AI inference.

Architecture Should Model the World as it Really is: a Conversation with Randy Shoup
In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke with Randy Shoup about how to evolve your software after a software failure, and how to improve the resilience of your software by modeling transient states using events and workflows. Software failure is inevitable, but learning from failure, including making the necessary changes to organizational culture, can make your software more resilient.

If You Can’t Test It, Don’t Deploy It: The New Rule of AI Development?
Magdalena Picariello reframes how we think about AI, moving the conversation from algorithms and metrics to business impact and outcomes. She champions evaluation systems that don't just measure accuracy but also demonstrate real-world business value, and advocates for iterative development with continuous feedback to build optimal applications.

Engineering Leadership: Building Culture, Career Growth, and Ownership
In this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Thiago Ghisi about building engineering culture through leading by example, advancing careers by embracing "glue work" (non-technical but necessary tasks), taking full ownership of projects, and developing self-awareness to choose between technical and management career paths.

Elisabeth Hendrickson on Systems Thinking for Quality Engineering
In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Elisabeth Hendrickson about using systems thinking to understanding relationships between problem elements rather than focusing on individual parts, and how quality engineering practices become even more critical in the age of AI where tools can accelerate code production but humans need to remain in charge of verification.

Building Human-Centered Engineering Cultures with Leadership, Diversity, and Trust
In this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Tara Hernandez about the importance of building generative cultures with strong leadership development, psychological safety, diversity, and transparency over simply chasing new technologies. Technology should be a means to solve meaningful human problems rather than an end in itself.
