Name: Azure For Developers by Eat Sleep Code Podcast
Duration: 46 min 38 s
Description: On this Episode of Eat Sleep Code, guest Michael Crump talks about why Azure is important to .NET developers. We learn how Azure goes beyond virtualization, hosting databases and deploying websites. Michael talks about his experience with Azure coming from a C# client app background and the “ah-ha!” moment with the benefits of moving to the cloud.

In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke with Justin Sheehy about how to safely put software into production without creating production incidents. Among the topics discussed were the futility of root cause analysis, and the importance of having a shared language for discussing incidents. This discussion included the need for software to be malleable as well as observable, and noted the fact that there are no pure technology decisions, every one of them is a business decision. They also discussed how the growth and use of artificial intelligence poses a major problem for the ability of engineers to understand and fix production incidents.

Elena Samuylova on Large Language Model (LLM) Based Application Evaluation and LLM as a Judge

In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke with Nimisha Asthagiri about the importance of system thinking, multi-agent systems, the consequences of society applying a technology into an area for which it was not designed, and whether we can ever have a healthy relationship with artificial intelligence.
 
System thinking emphasizes the importance of mental models, and how they relate to business requirements, and the architect's role in reconciling the different mental models of the participants in system design. In the area of multi-agent systems the discussion focused on how to scale such a system and control its autonomy in its relationship with humans. The discussion concludes with an exchange of views on our relationship with artificial intelligence, and the consequences of technology being used in areas for which it was never designed.
