Tech transformation, enterprise politics, and practical farm tech: JT Perry joins Justin Garrison and Autumn Nash to talk about his path from Navy submarines and enterprise IT to founding Barn Analytics. They dig into why modernization should start with a business problem—not the latest technology—and when it makes sense to leave a system alone. JT also shares how Barn Analytics uses tech to help small farms monitor chicken health and freezer temperatures.

Matthew took a fresh look at ways customers can manage Kubernetes on Oxide racks. He helped build a Rancher node driver, Talos Omni infrastructure provider, and Cluster API Provider (CAPOx). We dive deep into what he thought about each one and couldn't help but spend some time chatting about how he's using AI for work and play.

The AT protocol has a fundamental different design than other social networks. There are no siloed instances and every user is associated with their own domain. As Dan likes to put it, a Personal Data Server (PDS) is more like a filesystem for your personal activity. Apps that read those files can read one type of file or many types. User identity lives outside of any one app and we go deep into it on this episode.

Some of you might know David as a co-founder of Tailscale. In this episode we're talking about a new kind of cloud he's building at exe.dev. The SSH-only interface is a breath of fresh air compared to the monstrocity that the AWS console has become. We dive deep into why the cloud needs a reset and how integrating AI can be more than just a chat bot.

If you've ever heard code is an expression of free speech you have Cindy Cohn to thank. Her decades of work in courtrooms and at the Electronic Frontier Foundation has been keeping Open Source, open and private communications, private. We got to chat about her new book Privacy's Defender and take a look at the future by hearing stories from the past.
