Talking the Future of Tech
In this episode, we do some live vibe coding– using AI to write code. We share tips and tricks on having the best vibe coding experience and avoiding some common pitfalls. You’ll get to hear what we do, how we discover what the steps are, just how easy it is to interact with the system, to set up a basic environment. We also start to explore the limitations of vibe coding. We encourage you to listen along and try on your own!

Our mini episode today is a short discussion of API delineation and abstractions for platform engineering.
This was a short intro discussion, and it is especially interesting because platform is a major topic we will be exploring in the coming year. We highlight the challenges of finding the right abstraction points as well as building front end and back end automation.

A Goldilocks’ balance challenges us to trade off prescriptive and flexible platforms. James Urquhart shares his experiences with Cloud Foundry, VMware, and Amazon about trying to find the right balance between building it yourself versus a prescriptive service approach.
We’ve decided that there needs to be a middle zone with enough opportunity for customization, as well as enough pre-set, prescriptive methods to create sustainability.
In this episode, we talk about that balance and how different processes have done it in industry.

Rob’s Hot Take:
In the Cloud 2030 Podcast Lunch and Learn on March 22nd, Rob Hirschfeld explores the Goldilocks problem, focusing on the challenge of striking the right balance between prescriptive platforms and open toolboxes. He emphasizes the difficulty of handling the diverse and heterogeneous nature of various systems while aiming for reuse, reduction of toil, and collaboration. Hirschfeld points out the nuanced nature of variations within the 80-20 rule, stressing the importance of considering how toolboxy or prescriptive a platform should be based on individual needs.
