On episode 51 of The Kubelist Podcast, Marc Campbell and Benjie De Groot sit down with Kyle Galbraith. Kyle shares the story behind Depot and explains how the company evolved from accelerating Docker builds into building an entirely new CI platform designed for the AI era. The conversation explores BuildKit internals, remote caching, microVMs, AWS infrastructure, and why modern software development may require rethinking CI from the ground up.

On episode 10 of High Leverage, Joe Ruscio sits down with Steve Krouse to discuss the rapidly evolving relationship between AI and programming. Steve shares lessons from building Val Town at the center of the AI tooling wave, why he believes better abstractions will define the future of software, and how engineers can avoid becoming passive operators in an increasingly agent-driven world.

On episode 37 of Open Source Ready, Brian and John speak with Stormy Peters about the evolving relationship between AI and open source software. Together, they unpack the growing challenges maintainers face, why traditional “good first issues” may be disappearing, and how AI tools are changing the way developers contribute to projects. They also discuss open-weight models, inference costs, and why community health still matters more than lines of code.
