Context is the Key to the Agentic Architecture Revolution: a Conversation with Baruch Sadogursky
Michael Stiefel spoke to Baruch Sadogursky about software architecture in the age of agentic AI. LLM can function, albeit stochastically, as reasoning machines capable of interpreting human ambiguity. With the appropriate rigorous context artifacts to control the LLM’s reasoning, software specifications can become the source of truth, while the code becomes a disposable intermediate language.

A Java Performance Quest: Taming Unsafe Code, Embracing Idiomatic Style & Debugging the Linux Kernel
In this podcast, Jaromir Hamala, a seasoned Java engineer specialising in high-throughput data systems, shares his thoughts on how developers can tackle high-performance software development. He touches on the benefits of modern Java that allow writing idiomatic Java code while remaining "mechanically sympathetic", and also on his experience debugging a Linux kernel bug.

Engineering Stable, Secure and Scalable Platforms: a Conversation with Matthew Liste
In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke to Matthew Liste about building and managing software platforms. Platform services act as the basis for application development, and must always be stable, secure, and scalable. Scaling these systems is particularly difficult because unknown resource contention often causes them to break.

Context Engineering with Adi Polak
In this episode, Thomas Betts and Adi Polak talk about the need for context engineering when interacting with LLMs and designing agentic systems. Prompt engineering techniques work with a stateless approach, while context engineering allows AI systems to be stateful.

Failure as a Means to Build Resilient Software Systems: a Conversation with Lorin Hochstein
In this podcast Michael Stiefel spoke to Lorin Hochstein about how real-world failures provide insight into how software systems actually work. Our first topic was understanding that while automated fault injection tools can introduce basic robustness into a system, they cannot replicate the understanding that comes from mitigating complicated software failures in the real world.
