    v44.0.1 - José Valim: It's a time for builders

    If you know who José Valim is, then you know he probably made a mistake by joining me for our third installment of 🔥Hotfix🔥. The inventor of the Elixir programming language is at it again with his colleagues at Dashbit and they've got a new product called Tidewave. It's a coding agent with a twist: it has such a deep level of integration with your web framework that it can get the executable feedback it needs to tackle the entire feature development lifecycle. I do eventually let him plug the tool (and our conversation genuinely makes me want to try it—I logged a todo and everything!), but to be on Hotfix you gotta bring a thorny problem to the table, and he picked a great one: marketing hype aside, nobody has a clue what the future of AI agents looks like. Like always, we totally 100% and A+ solved the problem by correctly predicting the future. You gotta listen to find out. Every time I talk to José, I get ideas for what I should be doing instead of what I'm actually doing. If you feel so inspired, write into podcast@searls.co and I'll read it on the next mainline version release of Breaking Change. You can follow José on Bsky, X, and Mastodon. Pick your poison. ☠️

    v44 - Can't get it up

    Hey, look! Breaking Change now has chapter support for each segment! More on how I did that while still upholding my commitment to laziness later. I didn't get a good job connecting this version's release to what I was referencing, so to be clear I was referring to my heart rate as opposed to any other bodily functions. The other ones are getting up just fine, thank you. Get your head out of the gutter. Thanks for all the great e-mails the last couple weeks! Throw yours on the pile at podcast@searls.co. Hopefully Fastmail won't lose it. For the folks who pronounce URLs like Earls: Fallout comes to HHN Apple's b******t Watch Series 11 battery claims Echofeed is like POSSE Party, kind of Only POSSE Party is POSSE Party. Working on it.

    v43.1 - iPhone 17 Event Review

    It's an emergency bonus edition of Breaking Change as I take the covers off yet another show-within-a-show. I call it Feature Release, and its job is to fill in that middle number in our semantically versioned series of conversations together. No pun, no news, just some timely content wrapped up in a name, logo, and jingle package that still has that new podcast smell. It's a 1-hour review of the Airpods, Apple Watch, and iPhone updates Apple announced today. You can see the full event video on YouTube. The Verge has a 17 minute abridged version if you just want the synopsis. Please enjoy this episode of Feature Release! It may be the only one. Write into podcast@searls.co with your feedback!

    v42.0.1 - Scott Werner: Ignore all previous instructions

    🔥Hotfix🔥 is back with a new guest! Scott Werner is the CEO of Sublayer, helps organize the Artificial Ruby meetup in NYC, and is the author of the extremely well-named (and well-written) Substack, Works on my Machine. In this conversation, we jointly grapple with WTF is happening to programming as a career. Did the unprecedented peacetime the software industry experienced from 2005-2022 make us all soft? Is the era of code-writing agents fundamentally changing the nature of the job? Should we be less like DHH/Matz and more like why the lucky stiff? We'd love to get your feedback to podcast@searls.co — I'll read it all and flag relevant questions and comments for the next Breaking Change. You can follow Scott Werner online at: Works on my Machine on Substack @scottwernerd on Twitter/X A handful of things we mentioned: There's no AI in Team The Goal book Lean Thinking vs Fat Thinking (a newsletter that draws a different lesson from The Goal) why the lucky stiff (aka "_why") That fireside chat between Matz and DHH Sublayer's product, APM (Actions Per Minute)

    Thanks for writing so many lovely emails to podcast@searls.co. Hell, thanks even for the unlovely ones. Be sure to look out for me showing up on Dead Code at some point after it records next Tuesday. I'm realizing not all podcasts have a 1-hour-or-less turnaround time like this one does.
