ABOUT THIS EPISODE
#373: A company lays off 4,000 people the same day it posts record revenue, and the stock jumps. Is that really because of AI? Or just a really good press release?
Layoffs used to mean a company was bleeding cash. Now they show up next to record quarters, and AI gets the credit. Doesn't matter much if you're the one who got rapidly reallocated. You still need a job.
In this episode, Darin and Viktor talk about AI as the current layoff scapegoat and what to do when you end up on the wrong side of it.

#362: Feature flags or canary deployments - do you need both? Viktor puts it to Alex Casalboni from Unleash, who says he argues about this with his colleagues roughly every day, and the answer lands clean. Switching a hostname, a database, an API vendor? That is infrastructure, nothing to do with w…
#366: You ran npm install this morning. Maybe you ran it a dozen times. Every one of those pulled down a dependency tree you have never read, from a registry that spent years in maintenance mode, and then executed whatever preinstall and postinstall scripts happened to be in there. On your laptop. …
#363: Three waves of the web, and you are late for the third one. The 90s were about getting a browser to render your page at all.
