We take on a mailbag question, and then talk a bit about the upcoming AB Testing hiatus as Alan prepares for a very long walk in the woods.
We ramble a bit...but then get somewhere interesting. Worth a listen.
Alan gives Brent some advice on engaging remote workers, and Alan shares some bigly news.
We take a mailbag question - and talk about other stuff.
More ranting and discussions (and sometimes, some insights) from Brent and Alan.
It's been a while, but we're back to disagree about measuring developer productivity, and then talk about the doom and rebirth coming from AI.
Usual end of year episode where we reflect on 2024, and look forward to 2025.
Once again, we ramble on topics we didn't plan on talking about.
Welp - Alan asked Brent how it was going, he said it was review season, and then 40 minutes of babbling commenced
We're lazy, so we let chatgpt kick us off with a mailbag question. Tangents followed.
It's hard to tell what we talked about in this episode. But it involved a sleep-deprived Alan, and Brent, the Cat-Lady.
The wonderful Dagna Bieda joins us to talk about her new book, Brain Refactor.
Buy the book at https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Refactor-Engineering-Fulfillment-Opportunities/dp/B0DB69G798/ and learn more about Dagna at https://www.themindfuldev.com/
We talk about this article - https://stackoverflow.blog/2024/06/10/generative-ai-is-not-going-to-build-your-engineering-team-for-you/ - which is good, but hyperbolic at times.
Just like millions of others, we feel the need to talk about crowdstrike - just a bit. Then we talk about leadership, engagement, and potential new podcasting ventures.
It's another episode of the AI Testing Podcast, where we discuss the advancements of AI, parallels to nuclear war, and what humans will do in the future.

We talk about a lot of stuff - because that's what we do. Somewhere in there, we talk about the overlap between the ways of devops and MT, and Brent threatens to rewrite the first principle.
We talk about "Podcast Alan", and a bit about Alan's day job. Once again, going with the minimal editing approach.
It's been a long break. Again. But there are reasons. This time, we take a mailbag question and talk about the challenges of organizational change.
In the aftermath of the episode 200 extravaganza, we talk about Fallout (the show), and take a mailbag question that evolves into yet more discussions on AI.
We recorded this episode live - sort of. We have guests. We have fun. We get bobbleheads. We talk about AI. It's EVERYTHING you could ask for on our 200th episode AND 10th anniversary.
