Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. #92, Confidence Is the New Bottleneck with Ray Myers
Q: What role do formal methods and verification play in making AI-enabled software more trustworthy?
Formal specification and formal verification provide rigorous guarantees about correctness and business properties, complementing testing and telemetry to increase confidence in agent behavior.
Ep. #92, Confidence Is the New Bottleneck with Ray Myers
Q: What does failure look like in the context of coding agents, and how can teams determine what they're willing to tolerate?
Failure is defined by the business domain, with targets set as SLOs to reflect acceptable performance and reliability; once those targets are established, it's easier to identify when to intervene and how to mitigate impact.
Ep. #90, Outcome Engineering in the AI Era with Cory Ondrejka
Q: What is the core shift you see for engineers in the AI era?
Engineers will be defined more by their ability to deliver outcomes and manage governance across autonomous agents than by writing code alone. The role expands to include decision-making, context provisioning, and collaboration with AI as a partner.
Ep. #86, 12 Years and 100 Million Customers with Amarilis Campos of Nubank
Q: Can you talk about how that's different? And I hear you're instrumenting it?
We are instrumenting Datomic with tracing tools to improve the auditing process and handle large amounts of data effectively, providing valuable insights.
Ep. #86, 12 Years and 100 Million Customers with Amarilis Campos of Nubank
Q: What was the journey for you to get to the point where you were able to have tracing happen for you?
The journey started with metrics and logs, but the need for traces became clear to fully understand the flow and operations, which was harder with just logs and metrics.
