These are the best podcasts/talks I've seen/listened to recently:
  • Artificial Intelligence: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (John Oliver) [AI] [Duration: 0:27:00] Funny report on the state of artificial intelligence. Presentation for all audiences. Not technical.
  • Prioritizing Technical Debt as If Time & Money Matters. Goto 2022 (Adam Tornhill) [Engineering productivity, Technology Strategy] [Duration: 0:28:00] Adam presents an interesting approach for classifying and tackling technical debt based on analyzing code changes over time, by authors and files, in order to identify hotspots worth investing in.
  • The Difference Between Continuous Delivery & Continuous Deployment (Dave Farley) [Continuous Delivery, Technical Practices, Technology Strategy] [Duration: 0:18:00] In this episode Dave describes the differences between Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment: what each one gives you and when Continuous Deployment may not always be the correct answer.
  • The wet codebase (Dan Abramov) [Software Design, Technical Practices] [Duration: 0:25:00] Interesting talk about software design, design principles, and how it's worth understanding them in their context to apply them correctly. It reminded me of this post I wrote about the DRY principle https://www.eferro.net/2017/02/applying-dry-principle.html
  • NUMMI (2015) (Frank Langfitt) [Lean, Lean Manufacturing] [Duration: 1:04:00] (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) The interesting history of the NUMMI plant and the joint venture between GM & Toyota. A good story to understand some of the lean principles. There is a previous version of the podcast with other interviews at https://www.thisamericanlife.org/403/nummi-2010
  • Many More Much Smaller Steps with GeePaw Hill (GeePaw Hill, Chris Lucian, Austin Chadwick) [Evolutionary Design, Lean Software Development, Software Design, Technical Practices, XP] [Duration: 0:39:00] (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) Good conversation about GeePaw Hill's software development approach based on taking continuous small safe steps (Many More Much Smaller Steps).
Reminder, All these talks are interesting even just listening to them.
