Kodsnack 621 - Illustrativt för resten av året
Fredrik snackar om året som gått. Det blir genomgång av Kodsnacksåret, och av kodåret på arbetstid - ett år där en snårig Reactkomponent satt tonen och gett saker att fundera på. Fredrik funderar också lite kring fokus och sociala medier - man har - trots allt - ingen skyldighet att ta in och uppröras över vad alla andra upprörs över för stunden. Därefter blir det ett kort tangentbordssnack, och sist men inte minst årets sista fundering kring AI-bubblan och hur olika den tycks se ut för olika personer. Dessutom en liten titt mot 2025, och en lyssnarundersökning för den som vill tala om för oss vad hen tycker om podden! Ett stort tack till Cloudnet som sponsrar vår VPS!

Kodsnack 620 - Encapsulation of knowledge, with Dejan Milicic
Fredrik talks to Dejan Milicic about software development - understanding, methods, and stories. We start by talking about encapsulation of knowledge and the essential software in organizations. Almost every organization should - it can be argued - be developing software that solves their unique problems, and yet so many outsource so much of their knowledge encapsulation. Oh, and we can never completely encapsulate our knowledge in code either, so all the more reason to keep people who actually know what the code does and why around. Dejan tells us about his way to Ravendb and a developer relations role - and how you can craft your own job, stepping suitably outside of your comfort zone along the way. We also talk about shortening attention spans, daring to dig down a bit and find out about the context of things. Like the second sentence of some oft-repeated quote. Prohibit bad things, but help automate doing good things and avoid doing the bad things completely. Dejan shares some database backstories - why would someone want to build one more database? Specifically, what lead to the creation of Ravendb? And the very strong opinions which have been built into it. Avoiding falling into marketing-driven development. After that, we drift into talking about processes and how we work. Every organization is unique - which strongly speaks against adapting the “best practices” and methodologies of others. Or keeping things completely the same for too long. Innovation is also about doing what other people are not doing. Why is concurrency still hard? The free lunch has been over for twenty years! Functional programming and immutability offer ways forward, why aren’t these concepts spreading even more and faster? We get right back to understanding more context when Dejan discusses how few of us seem to have understood, just for example, the L in SOLID. Dive deeper, read more, and you will find new things and come up with new ideas. Finally, Dejan would like to see software development becoming just a little bit more mathematical. So that things can be established, verified and built on in a different way. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

Kodsnack 619 - Modulär hastighet, med Markus Backman och Christian Edström Boveng
Fredrik snackar med Markus Backman och Christian Edström Boveng om Andromeda - Swedbanks mikrotjänsbaserade utvecklingsplattform. Vägen till Andromeda - hur och varför bestämde man sig för att bygga plattformen, och varför köpte man inte in något färdigt? Jo, för att man har sina styrkor och sina unika egenskaper som företag. Vi får veta varför mikrotjänster är ett mycket enklare beslut i en stor organisation med massor av team. En plattform är så mycket mer än teknik, jobbet att förändra organisation och kultur är kanske både större och viktigare. Vi pratar om nyttan med bra och roliga namn för att berätta historien om ens projekt, och om att få med folk på tåget - genom att bygga något som fungerade istället för att diskutera och kommunicera först. Markus och Christian berättar också om hur både teknik och rutiner uppmuntrar utvecklare att använda plattformen och arbeta på nya sätt. Andromeda hjälper en att automatiskt följa regler och riktlinjer, och lyckas automatisera bort hela och regelbundna möten. Man har till och med byggt ett helt system som diskret uppmuntrar och knuffar alla team mot att driftsätta kod oftare och oftare. Vi tar givetvis också upp frågan på allas läppar: Vad gör man när ens raket blir klassad som icke certifierad kontorsutrustning? Ett stort tack till Cloudnet som sponsrar vår VPS!

Kodsnack 618 - This chaos element, with Ingrid af Sandeberg
Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to Ingrid af Sandeberg about AI and people’s perception of it. While it’s very powerful to be able to interact with models through natural language, that interface in itself hides a lot of what’s actually going on.

Kodsnack 617 - Craving for the human touch, with Laura Herman
Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to Laura Herman about creativity, creation, and AI. Among other things, we discuss: How the perspectives of different groups differ, and Laura talks about the many factors which inform how people feel about generative AI. Generative AI as curation. How and where in our work processes we want AI assistance. Dataset curation and specialized models, and how they can be important and interesting going forward. What happens if we have to be very picky about what we train models on? How are people working with sustainability for generative models? Laura’s own research into AI and creativity, and how other inventions have affected creativity and art. Finally, we discuss curation, and the possibilities of alternate curation platforms for finding things you like.

Kodsnack 615 - All I had to do was break the build, with Kent Beck and Beth Andres-Beck
Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to Kent Beck and Beth Andres-Beck about development practices, code reviews, and more. Unfortunately, sound quality is a lot worse than it should be. We apologize, and invite any sound processing wizards out there to get in touch if they have solid ways of improving it. Has there actually been a backlash - a move toward more rigid processes? And what can we do about that? The development process is a shadow cast by the power structure, and in big organizations, you need someone who’s job it is to read all the documents. Also: improving code reviews, and how breaking the build can land you in a room with exactly the right people.

Kodsnack 614 - Somehow cheat the system, with David Jacoby
Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2024, Fredrik talks to IT security expert David Jacoby about his way into IT security. What was it like to get interested in computer security early on, and to try start working with it before there really was an awareness of even the need for more security information? And when did the switch happen from annoying but harmless viruses and malware to the modern information stealing and blackmailing? Finally, a horror movie tip.
