They delve into the journeys and insights of distinguished leaders in the development world. In today's episode, Michael engages with Brian Vallelunga, the visionary CEO of Doppler. Brian shares his compelling journey from early tech innovations to leading multiple startups and eventually founding Doppler, a centralized cloud secret management tool. Brian emphasizes the importance of making security tools enticing for developers, comparing it to making vegetables taste like candy, to boost productivity. His team’s strategy revolves around seamless integration into developers’ workflows, featuring a VS Code extension and automatic syncing akin to Dropbox, enhancing efficiency and ease of use. They explore Doppler's competitive edge and how it partners with major cloud resource managers, making two-click integrations effortless. Brian also discusses their customer-centric development approach and the release of enterprise features like two-person approval and config inheritance, designed for complex organizational needs. Brian's entrepreneurial journey is marked by significant pivots driven by frustration and market demand, rather than strategic planning alone. He shares candid thoughts on the impact of founders and success, cautioning against the allure of celebrity status and emphasizing team contributions. Join them as they dive into insightful discussions on building developer-friendly security tools, the nuances of secret management, and Brian's perspectives on startup growth and innovation. Discover how Doppler is revolutionizing secret management, one integration at a time.

Welcome to another insightful episode of Top End Devs, where we delve into the fascinating world of machine learning and data science. In this episode, host Charles Max Wood is joined by special guest Pierpaolo Hipolito, a data scientist at the SAS Institute in the UK. Together, they explore the intriguing paradoxes of data science, discussing how these paradoxes can impact the accuracy of machine learning models and providing insights on how to mitigate them.
What do cows and camels have to do with the human brain? The latest developments in machine learning, of course! In this episode, Michael and Ben dive into a new white paper from Facebook AI researchers that reveals a LOT about the future of modeling. They discuss “cows and camels”, the question of predictive vs causal modeling, and how algorithms are getting scary good at emulating the human brain these days. In This Episode Why Facebook’s new research is VERY exciting for AI learning and causality (but what does it have to do with cows and camels?) The answer to “Is predictive or causal modeling more accurate?” (and why it’s not the best question to ask) Not sure if you need machine learning or just plain data modeling? Michael lays it out for you What algorithms are learning about human behavior to accurately emulate the human brain in 2022 and beyond
Michael Berk joins the adventure to discuss how he uses Machine Learning within the context of A/B testing features within applications and how to know when you have a viable test option for your setup.
