This was a great conversation with Alex Bunardzic. Alex has built platforms and teams for decades, and has been at the forefront of driving agile, iterative software development with a systems thinking mindset. We talk about how AI agents are changing software development, and everything from the end of "code fetishism" to new risks of nondeterministic agents that can fake outputs. We cover practical practices like test-driven development, failure-first engineering, draft-flag deployment, and the need for architectural invariants. Alex introduces a new AI guild focused on ethics, technical excellence, and innovation, and describes a platform (AI Harness) to enforce safety and immutability while enabling productive agentic workflows. Big thanks to Alex for a fun and very inspiring conversation!

In this episode, Ari Weil of Akamai discusses why AI at the edge matters now, how Akamai is deploying distributed GPUs and edge compute to enable real-time inference, and what developers and businesses should consider when building agentic systems. We cover practical examples, security and trust concerns, the shifting landscape from cloud to edge, and how Akamai’s network and developer tools make experimentation and production at scale faster and safer. Big thanks to Ari for joining for a great conversation! This podcast is made possible by GTM Delta and TechForward.
A fun deep dive interview with Jon Reeve, CPO and co-founder of Control Theory, about the evolution from monitoring to observability and how AI and sentiment analysis are changing how teams find issues in logs. They discuss Gonzo (an open-source terminal tool), Dstl8 (the always-on SaaS), edge analysis that distills logs in real time without storing everything, and meeting developers where they work. The episode covers use cases across ops, developers, and customer-facing teams, the commercial trade-offs of storing versus analyzing logs, privacy concerns like PII discovery, and the practical adoption of AI for SREs as human augmentation rather than replacement. This podcast is made possible by an amazing listener community and GTM Delta.
This episode explores why infrastructure automation remains a live problem in 2025, focusing on bare-metal operations, Kubernetes, and the rise of AI workloads. Rob Hirschfeld, CEO and Founder of Rackn, discuss RackN’s approach with Digital Rebar, the importance of repeatable processes, and why heterogeneity in data centers is valuable. Topics include immutable infrastructure, rack-scale automation, the limits of abstractions and CRDs, and how organizations can bridge the skills and process gaps to run high-performance, compliant on-prem and AI infrastructure at scale. Thank you to Rob for a great conversation and we hope to see lots of folks at KubeCon to keep the discussion going! This podcast is made possible by the support of GTM Delta and TechForward.io
We interviewed Paweł Kowalczyk, CTO of Halo Radius, about designing and operating highly scalable software, the shift from product teams to consulting, and the importance of long-term partnerships and knowledge transfer. They also dig into the realities of AI adoption, why data infrastructure and the right metrics matter, how to choose tools and architectures, and how to build maintainable platforms that deliver measurable business value.
