Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

133. Who Tests the AI? The New Reality of Software Testing - with Ronald Veth
Q: Could you maybe introduce yourself shortly and what you do at Cerios?
Ronald describes his role as Principal Consultant in Test Automation, focusing on AI-enabled test automation and innovations in automation and testing across end-to-end, integration, and unit testing.
129. Why Developers Still Matter in the Age of AI - with Tim Corey
Q: What gives you confidence about the future for developers despite AI advances?
A combination of optimism, hands-on teaching, and a belief that AI expands opportunity by enabling small and mid-size companies to hire developers who can build tailored solutions; the industry has always evolved, and people who adapt will find new paths and roles.
129. Why Developers Still Matter in the Age of AI - with Tim Corey
Q: How do you see the impact that AI might have on the jobs we have as developers and the job market around that?
AI will not simply replace developers; junior developers can grow into senior roles, and AI will serve as a powerful pair programmer that accelerates learning and productivity while humans provide critical context, security, and design judgment.
125. Rewriting the Operating System of Tech - with Emily van Putten
Q: Emily, if aliens come and ask you to show them fun, what would you take them to do?
I'd let them experience the possibilities of being an adult through entertainment and shared human experiences, while also highlighting how people, nature, and simple joys can connect us, rather than focusing on deep or explicit content.
128. Applying AI in Agricultural Robotics: From Kaggle to Production - with Julian de Wit
Q: What is Kaggle?
Kaggle started as a data science competition platform that attracted both seasoned statisticians and the new deep learning wave, and it evolved into a broader data science community offering datasets, notebooks, and a culture of openness where winning teams published their methods to help others improve.
