    VSP-001: Change The World, While Having Fun - with GKH of Linux Kernel
    Dec 30 2017
    Welcome to the Void Star Podcast Series. This episode contains my conversation with Greg Kroah-Hartman. Also known as GKH in the Linux Kernel Community. He is "Mr. Linux Device Drivers". He is the current Linux kernel maintainer for the -stable branch, the staging subsystem, USB, driver core, debugfs, kref, kobject, and the sysfs kernel subsystems, Userspace I/O (co-owned), and TTY layer. He also created linux-hotplug, the udev project, and the Linux Driver Project. He is a Fellow at the Linux Foundation. He is a co-author of the most famous Linux Device Drivers (3rd Edition) book and author of Linux Kernel in a Nutshell, and used to be a contributing editor for Linux Journal. We talk about Greg's secrets to being so productive, his tricks to staying on top over a thousand emails per day, his favorite editor, his favorite hacks, his system for staying focused, daily habits, routines and much more. Greg, lets us in on how to get super-human amounts of work done while not even really trying. You can also visit: http://www.mycpu.org/interview-with-GKH

    VSP-002: Debugging At The Deep End, One Candlelight At A Time - with Steve Rostedt of Linux Kernel
    Dec 30 2017
    Welcome to the Void Star Podcast Series. This episode contains my conversation with Steve Rostedt. Steve is a Linux Kernel Programmer and he’s one of the most prolific contributors in the Linux Kernel Community. He has authored several features in the Linux Kernel including the super popular ftrace, trace-cmd, kernelshark, localmodconfig, ktest. He’s also a key contributor to Linux’s RT scheduler. I try to uncover the secrets behind Steve’s ability to solve with extremely complex problems in the Linux Kernel. We discuss about a ton of topics from his favorite editor and shortcuts, shell hacks, routines, habits, books, his approach to solving complex problems, his cheat sheet to remain productive, his knack to come up with clear thoughts while debugging knotty issues. There is a huge secret that Steve lets us in on, that has helped him solve extremely complex problems in a short time while having all the fun.

  • VSP-003: How to Start Small and Win Big - with James Gosling, the Father of Java - Part I

    VSP-003: How to Start Small and Win Big - with James Gosling, the Father of Java - Part I
    Jun 3 2018
    Welcome to the [Void Star Podcast Series](http://www.mycpu.org/about-interviews). This episode contains my conversation with James Gosling, the Father of Java. James Gosling has made significant contributions in the field of Computer Science, while he is most famous for inventing the Java Programming Language, he has contributed immensely by building several tools, compilers, email clients, window managers and tons of other utilities. He has worked recently on 'Wave Glider', the autonomous ocean robots and now he's working on making Cloud Computing even better. In a sense, if there was something path-breaking happening in tech, James was around! What's his secret? In this first part in two episode series, we talk about his early years as a student during which he may or may not have faked his age to get access to computers to practice programming, the true story behind the motivation for Java Language, his experiences programming the Ocean Robots, his take on A.I. and ramifications on our future.

    VSP-004: How to playfully toy with big ideas - with Laurent Pinchart
    Jan 16 2019
    Welcome to the [Void Star Podcast Series](http://www.mycpu.org/about-interviews). This episode contains my conversation with Laurent Pinchart. If you searched Laurent on the Internet: "Laurent Pinchart has been a Linux kernel developer since 2001. He has written media-related Linux drivers for consumer and embedded devices and is one of the V4L core developers. Laurent is the founder and owner of Ideas on board, a company specialized in embedded Linux design and development. He has given Linux kernel-related talks at the FOSDEM, LPC and ELC. He currently works with the Renesas Linux kernel team where he develops a wide range of embedded drivers including DRM/KMS and V4L." His work in V4L, fbdev, DRM/KMS, UVC, and others have made it convenient, in some cases just possible, to build products that include cameras on Linux Systems. As always, we try to find out what makes Laurent tick, the tools he uses, how he approaches problem solving, how he manages email overload and stress.

  • VSP-005: Announcing New Format

    VSP-005: Announcing New Format
    Jul 22 2019
    Welcome to the [Void Star Podcast Series](http://www.mycpu.org/about-interviews). This is voidstar podcast where we talk to the top class achievers in tech and I’m your host Manoj Rao. This is an announcement about the new format that this podcast is going to assume. So far we have had the best in the business talk about so many topics. The feedback I got is that people loved the content but not the format. The consistent feedback was: “It was too long and too detailed.“ The new format is going to be experimental, but it is going to be shorter we will keep it under 20 mins and it will be on a single topic. Say, for ex, I might ask them about how they go about their problem solving routine, is there a goto design principle they begin with, or favorite shortcuts in their development environment. We have some great set of people lined up for you this time around: “Peter Z from Linux Scheduler, Late Joe Armstrong of Erlang (RIP), Adam Fineberg and more” Please leave a comment about the new format on iTunes, Google Podcasts, or www.voidstarpodcast.com
