The Sourcegraph Podcast is a new show about developer tools and their creators. It can sometimes feel like a full-time job just staying on top of the latest libraries, frameworks, plugins, extensions, CLI tools, and developer apps. We want to help you do that, by giving you a window into the minds of some of the best and brightest people working at the forefront of developer productivity. You'll hear from dev tool company founders, open-source authors, and developer efficiency leaders inside some of the best engineering organizations. Our guests share war stories, origin stories, worldviews, histories, prognostications, and the tools and technologies they're most excited about today. If you're a programmer who is passionate about leveling up your own productivity or perhaps an aspiring dev tool creator yourself, this podcast is for you.

  1. Samuel Colvin, Founder and Lead Maintainer of Pydantic

    Samuel Colvin, Founder and Lead Maintainer of Pydantic

    Pydantic is a Python library for typed validation of external data that has experienced exponential growth since 2020. We’ll hear the story of what motivated Samuel to create Pydantic, the most common ways people use it, and the success and growth of FastAPI with Pydantic. Also, Pydantic V2 has not been released yet, but we’ll learn what motivated Samuel to rewrite it in Rust, besides being faster and some other things happening with it.  And if you’re interested, Samuel is always looking for contributors to Pydantic!  Go ahead and download this episode now to hear more!   Highlights [00:00:59] Beyang gives us his understanding of what Pydantic does, and Samuel tells us two things that people appreciate about Pydantic. [00:02:48] Samuel tells the story of what motivated him to create Pydantic, what the state of the world was at the time, and how it started.  [00:04:11] When Samuel first created Pydantic, he tells us if he had a particular use case in mind, and we hear the most common way people use Pydantic and other ways it’s used.  [00:05:46] Beyang is looking at the Pydantic docs and goes over an example of how you use the base model today. Samuel talks about the new Pydantic V2. [00:07:23] We hear about Samuel's interaction with the FastAPI maintainers. Did he know them, and why does he think they selected Pydantic for their core piece of framework? Samuel mentions Django Ninja, which integrates Pydantic and Django, and Beyang mentions there are many highly starred cool projects using Pydantic and Django. [00:11:53] The new version of Pydantic is written almost completely in Rust, so Samuel reveals why he decided to do the rewrite and what motivated him to use Rust. [00:15:09] Beyang and Samuel discuss some of the Rust bindings so you can see what invoking Python from Rust looks like. [00:21:03] The aspect of Pydantic, which is about translating from Python-type annotations into the core schema, Beyang wonders if that’s changing from Pydantic V1 to V2, and Samuel explains that it’s all rebuilt. [00:24:03] Beyang wonders if anyone is using the not yet released Pydantic V2 yet. Samuel’s response: “I hope for nothing serious because it will change a lot!” [00:24:40] A question in the chat came up for Samuel on Twitch: What motivated you to make the default behavior coercion rather than throwing an error?  [00:27:52] Will there be any changes to the public API from Pydantic V1 to V2? Samuel tells us there’s one thing that’s probably going to make people angry and he explains. [00:29:33] Samuel gives an example of the output from serialization. Beyang wants to help Samuel out and tells him how Sourcegraph can potentially help him.  [00:34:25] There are some exciting things coming up for Pydantic that Samuel can’t announce quite yet, but he is excited about Pydantic V2 being released. Also, we hear they have GitHub sponsors, but another announcement about sponsors is coming soon. [00:35:35] Samuel announces he would love for you to come and contribute to Pydantic.

    John Kodumal, CTO and Co-founder of LaunchDarkly

    Beyang sits down with John Kodumal, CTO and co-founder of LaunchDarkly. LaunchDarkly is a SaaS feature management platform for developers that allows them to iterate and get code into production quickly and safely by separating feature rollout and code deployment.  John begins by talking about his first experiences with computers and programing in the 80s, including teaching himself to us a Dvorak keyboard in the first grade, experimenting with BBS in elementary school, and programming his TI-92 in BASIC to make a shell program so that he could use Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) on it in high school. John shares how he pursued his interest in programming languages throughout higher education and then discusses his employment experiences at Coverity and Atlassian. He talks about how the lessons and experiences from his prior jobs ultimately led him to found LaunchDarkly in 2014 with former classmate, Edith Harbaugh.  John dives into how did he first got into feature toggles and feature flags, and then talks about the engineering challenges LaunchDarkly has encountered. John concludes by sharing how he has witnessed LaunchDarkly impact the developer experience and the ongoing, transformational benefits of utilizing their feature management platform.

    Ravi Parikh, Founder and CEO of Airplane

    Beyang talks with Ravi Parikh, founder and CEO of Airplane. Airplane is a developer tool for turning one-off scripts into internal mini-apps that can be used by technical and non-technical users across the company. Ravi shares his journey as a programmer, how he got into computers at a young age, took a brief detour to become a professional musician, and then started his first software company, Heap Analytics, with his friend Matin Movassate. Beyang and Ravi discuss what took Heap from idea to billion dollar company. Ravi discusses founder-led support and the ways he and Matin managed Heap’s growth from an analytics tool geared towards developers to a full-fledged analytics platform with users across product, sales, and marketing. Ravi explains the seed concepts that led to the founding of Airplane and then demos how to use Airplane to turn a one-off support script into an internal mini-app that you can reuse again and again. The conversation concludes with a discussion of what’s next for Ravi and Airplane.  Show notes & transcript: https://about.sourcegraph.com/podcast/ravi-parikh Sourcegraph: https://about.sourcegraph.com

    Max Howell, creator of Homebrew and founder of tea

    Beyang talks with Max Howell, creator of Homebrew, about his new package manager, Tea, which aims to solve the problem of open-source funding. Max shares his beginnings in programming and what led him to work on early music players in Linux, Last.fm, and eventually get into Mac development. Max discusses the frustrations he experienced in cross-platform development that were the impetus for the creation of Homebrew and explains how Homebrew became the de facto package manager for macOS. Max talks about his latest project, Tea, a successor to Homebrew that aims to solve the open-source funding problem with a decentralized protocol that uses NFTs and an understanding of the package dependency graph to distribute funding to open-source maintainers.
