In this episode of the DevReady Podcast, host Andrew Romeo speaks with Artem Golubev, Co-Founder and CEO of testRigor, to explore the world of software testing automation. Artem shares his insights on the complexities of modern software and the growing necessity for automation to keep up with the rapid pace of development. He explains how traditional manual testing becomes a bottleneck, especially on high-volume platforms like Amazon, where automation is crucial to avoid costly disruptions. Artem also introduces testRigor's innovative solution, which enables tests to be written in plain English, bypassing the need for technical expertise and making the automation process more efficient.

Artem delves deeper into how testRigor’s approach empowers businesses to transition from manual testing to automation. By allowing tests to be written in plain English, the platform removes the complexities of code and makes automation accessible to non-technical individuals. This simplifies the test creation process, enabling more team members to contribute to testing and accelerating overall productivity. Artem highlights how this approach has allowed companies to scale and move faster, with existing manual testers easily transitioning into automation roles.

Reflecting on the early days of testRigor, Artem shares the company’s humble beginnings and initial struggles. Starting with basic tools like image classification for simple tasks, the company quickly evolved to automate a significant portion of the testing process. Artem reveals how testRigor’s technology helped reduce churn rates and increase productivity, leading to a remarkable business impact, including a dramatic rise in their stock price. He also emphasises the importance of quality technology in customer retention, particularly for early-stage startups.

Artem discusses the challenges of scaling the company, particularly in its early stages when he relied heavily on personal networking and his own sales efforts. Despite a tight budget, the company managed to grow by leveraging its network and moving from outbound sales to inbound marketing strategies, such as publishing a book to increase visibility. He stresses the value of consistent work and networking in building a successful business and reflects on how these efforts helped attract early investors and customers, some of whom remain loyal to testRigor today.

In the final segment, Artem explores the transformative role of AI in test automation. He explains how AI has simplified previously difficult tasks, making the automation of complex applications, such as Flutter, more intuitive. Artem also discusses how AI is enhancing productivity not only in testing but across business operations.

In this episode of the DevReady Podcast, host Anthony Sapountzis sits down with Shantanu Bhattacharya, Founder and CEO of Siometrix, to explore the evolving landscape of cybersecurity. Shantanu shares his extensive expertise, covering his pioneering work on the TCP/IP stack and public key infrastructure technologies that shaped secure communications. Now based in Canberra, Shantanu provides cutting-edge cybersecurity consultancy to federal agencies and organisations, focusing on data-centric security and fortifying operating systems to combat today’s complex cyber threats.

Shantanu delves into the unique challenges posed by zero-day attacks, which exploit unknown vulnerabilities. Instead of playing the traditional "cat-and-mouse game" of reactive security measures, he advocates for proactive, data-centric solutions that include device and software authentication. This multi-layered approach, combined with low-level system monitoring through kernel-level software, ensures comprehensive protection. Shantanu also shares insights into obtaining code signing certification for such high-security software.

The conversation expands to the specific needs of small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and government agencies. Shantanu highlights the challenges SMBs face, such as limited budgets and an overwhelming array of tools. He explains how Siometrix identifies vulnerabilities in IT systems, including risks from hybrid work setups and unregulated smart devices. Emphasising that effective cybersecurity is a blend of technology, secure processes, and human compliance, Shantanu provides practical advice on mitigating risks like weak passwords and unsecured networks.

Shantanu and Anthony discuss the security risks associated with IoT devices, particularly unregulated, low-cost products. They highlight how such devices can act as gateways for attackers to infiltrate broader networks. Segmenting IoT devices onto separate networks and maintaining vigilance over unexpected vulnerabilities, like home CCTVs, are key strategies for reducing risks. This discussion underscores the growing need for awareness and proactive measures in the face of expanding IoT usage.

The conversation also explores cloud-based security risks. Shantanu warns against blindly relying on cloud solutions without understanding the associated vulnerabilities, such as exposing sensitive data through poorly managed access. Comparing cloud environments to a house with multiple windows, Anthony stresses the importance of dedicated IT professionals to oversee network security. Together, they emphasise the need for businesses to map out where critical data is stored to protect it effectively.

Finally, Shantanu highlights the importance of appointing a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or delegating cybersecurity responsibilities to ensure robust processes are in place. He discusses the increasing accountability of company boards in managing cybersecurity risks and the dangers of oversharing personal information online. To address gaps in organisational security, he offers virtual CISO services, helping businesses implement measures like password management, network segmentation, and multi-factor authentication to fortify their defences against evolving threats.

Randall Randy Konsker Talks About The Future of Digital Entrepreneurship

🎙️ Hey there! This is Shailendra Kumar, also known as Shaily, your host on "AI with Shaily." Today, we’re diving deep into a major shakeup happening at one of the tech giants we all know—Apple 🍏. 

For years, Apple has proudly built its voice assistant Siri’s AI completely in-house, crafting its own Apple Foundation Models. But now, as of early July 2025, things are changing. Apple is reportedly considering teaming up with AI heavyweights Anthropic and OpenAI 🤖 to power Siri. Instead of relying solely on their own tech, Apple might customize powerful language models like Anthropic’s Claude or OpenAI’s ChatGPT and run them on Apple’s cloud infrastructure ☁️. 

Why the shift? Despite Apple’s massive resources, they’ve been falling behind in the rapidly evolving world of generative AI, trailing competitors like Google. Apple had planned a big AI upgrade for Siri in fall 2024, but it’s been delayed multiple times and pushed back to 2026 ⏳. By partnering with third-party AI leaders, Apple hopes to breathe new life into Siri and catch up in the AI race.

But here’s the interesting part—Apple isn’t giving up on its own internal “LLM Siri” project. They’re keeping their in-house AI efforts alive while exploring these external collaborations. This move isn’t about surrender; it’s about staying competitive and innovative in a fast-moving landscape where no one can afford to stand still 🚀.

A sneak peek of this new AI integration already appeared with the iOS 18.2 update, where Apple quietly added ChatGPT to help Siri answer web-based questions 🌐. It’s a teaser of more extensive AI collaboration to come, though not yet the main AI engine behind Siri.

What really resonates with me is how this reflects a universal lesson in tech and life: sometimes the smartest strategy is to combine your strengths with others. I remember when I was building an AI tool alone and hit a wall, then reached out to a community of experts—and that collaboration transformed everything overnight ✨.

Here’s a bonus tip for all AI enthusiasts and practitioners: keep your toolkit flexible. Use the best existing resources out there but never lose sight of your unique strengths. This hybrid approach is what drives lasting innovation 🔧💡.

So, what do you think? Will Apple’s move to embrace external AI models turbocharge Siri’s comeback? Or is there value in Apple’s “slow and steady” internal development approach? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Remember the wise words of Alan Turing: “We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.” 🌟

If you’ve ever worked in a substation, offshore rig, or a cramped utility room, you already know: cold and heat shrinkable terminations aren’t just helpful—they’re essential. And while both seal well and insulate reliably, there’s a difference when it comes to tight spaces and safety.
Cold shrink wins when fire risk or tight access is a deal-breaker—no torches, no cleanup, no fuss. Heat shrink, when done right, offers a tighter, more form-fit seal. At MTK Supply International Corp, we supply cold and heat shrinkable terminations that field techs rely on—UV-resistant, weather-tough, and easy to install even in rough conditions.
Bottom line? Choose what suits your site. But whatever you go with, install it right, and don’t look back.
