PodcastsIn my GOTO "state of the art" series, I explore the evolving landscape of technology with industry experts.
In this GOTO interview, Abby Bangser and Charles Humble explore the future of platform engineering. While AI coding assistants boost individual developers, Bangser argues the next major shift is treating autonomous AI agents as platform consumers—using secure, deterministic APIs to provide the compliance and guardrails required to scale agentic workflows safely.
Jake Warner founded Cycle.io on the bet that Kubernetes would become overly complex, designing a distributed control plane that balances infrastructure ownership with ease of use. As organizations push back against cloud lock-in and look toward sovereign clouds, Cycle ensures operational resilience by keeping customer infrastructure running even if the control plane fails.
Charles Humble & Adrian Mouat discuss container security: why distroless images matter, how Chainguard builds from source for zero CVEs, and lessons from XZ Utils & Shackle-Alert attacks.
Charles Humble & Dr. Ewelina Kurtys discuss biological computing: living neurons that could cut AI costs by being 1M times more energy efficient than current systems.
"We've beaten this to death: typing isn't the bottleneck." Yet here we are again, using AI to write more code faster. Nathen Harvey from Google's DORA team talks to Charles Humble on what 5,000 developers taught us about AI adoption
