2 Giga Spustya — Episode One (Category News)
This is the first episode of our podcast, a relaxed news discussion between two hosts. The idea is to discuss interesting IT news in an accessible popular-science format and release an episode each week. Joining me is Anton Kosterin, my colleague with whom I develop the architecture function at T-Bank. Anton sits on the Teamlead Conf program committee and has appeared on my channel many times:
- An external podcast on “Migration on Time: Reality or Myth?”
- The first Code of Architecture series, on van Steen and Tanenbaum’s Distributed Systems.
- Code of Architecture’s third episode on A Philosophy of Software Design.
- Code of Leadership #17: An Interview with Anton Kosterin About Architecture.
In the first episode, we discussed: 0) Y Combinator’s conversation about vibe coding: using assistants to create code quickly without deeply studying programming, particularly useful for startups and personal projects. Original video and my brief discussion.
- Forbes reported that 95% of critical-infrastructure facilities use foreign IT solutions, including Zabbix for monitoring at 85%, raising questions about import substitution.
- Citibank made a serious mistake, accidentally transferring $81 trillion instead of $280 thousand. It highlights the need for multiple layers of protection in financial systems.
- C++ faces marketing problems as well as security concerns, potentially contributing to decline even while it remains an industry standard. Its creator, Bjarne Stroustrup, discussed this himself.
- Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas shared his experience of building an LLM-based AI search company that competes successfully with Google Search, Microsoft Bing and others. Original video and my discussion.
- A study found that a candidate’s appearance can affect interview success, raising ethical issues in hiring. Neural networks can inherit human biases from training data, a particular problem in areas such as medicine where accurate predictions matter.
