HPR4734: HPR Beer Garden 20 - TuxJam Half-cut Special
This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. The usual trio of Dave , Kevie and Paul meet up for the first time in person and are joined by Al , Andrew , Joe and Rainy. The meet up was for the TuxJam Half-cut live event in Manchester. Rather than the usual style of show this is a (mostly) unedited recording of the beers that we are trying and general yarns around the table. We were interrupted by a yelling numpty, a middle-aged boy racer and a tram (these were edited out), but otherwise the recording is pretty much as is. The show was recorded outside the Sureshot Brewery Taproom .
Nichola Hammerton - Deutsche Bank - Why Enterprise Architecture Needs Open Source
On this episode of the FINOS Open Source in Finance Podcast, host Grizz Griswold sits down with Nichola Hammerton, Head of Architecture at Deutsche Bank, in Canary Wharf, London. Nichola shares her unique career trajectory—from studying chemistry and co-founding a tech consulting firm to restructuring the British Red Cross and leading large-scale capital markets transformations. She details how Deutsche Bank is embedding "control by design" into its enterprise AI architecture platforms, navigating the interplay between legacy mainframes and cutting-edge AI agents, and why cross-industry open-source collaboration on projects like FINOS Fluxnova is essential for solving shared industry challenges. 🕒 Timestamps:0:00 Welcome & Catching Up on the FINOS Open Source in Finance Podcast1:15 Current Role: Head of Architecture at Deutsche Bank3:30 Career Journey: From Chemistry to Consulting & The Red Cross7:14 Large-Scale Tech Transformation During the Credit Crunch9:45 What is Architecture?

Technology for Technology's Sake: Architectural designs often get caught up in technological hype rather than focusing strictly on measurable business outcomes and operational use cases. Legacy Interoperability: Modern AI platforms must operate alongside decades-old core banking infrastructure (such as mainframes) that remains essential for daily operations. 🏗️ The Solution: "Control by Design" & Use-Case-Driven Open CollaborationNichola Hammerton outlines a strategic approach to modern enterprise architecture: Embedded Control-by-Design: Building security, compliance, and governance frameworks directly into the underlying architecture platform so developers can innovate safely without managing controls manually. Data Quality & Semantic Layers: Establishing robust data freshness, entitlement management, and semantic layers to power reliable end-user AI agents. Consolidation Through Open Source: Collaborating across buy-side and sell-side institutions on shared infrastructure (such as FINOS Fluxnova) to pre-solve common use cases and access broader talent pools. ⚙️ Why This Matters for Financial EngineeringShift from Delivery to Strategic Architecture: Empowers technology leaders to establish guardrails that scale across vast enterprise portfolios while maintaining operational stability. Grounding AI in Real-World Use Cases: Ensures AI investments deliver business value by anchoring architectural designs to specific operational problems rather than abstract tech capabilities.

Anthropic Hits the Brakes, 10% Extinction Odds, and $2.7T in AI Spend
Dario Amodei's essay "We Must Pace the Frontier" asked the AI industry to deliberately slow capability gains so safety work can keep up — and got public agreement from OpenAI, xAI and Google DeepMind within hours. Adam Arellano and Martin Reynolds bring in Brian Payne, who has led security at Netflix and Adobe, to ask what's actually in the proposal and what was conspicuously left out. They dig into whether permanent employee-level access for third-party evaluators is a meaningful control or a curated one, why liability is the piece missing from the whole conversation, and what it says that OpenAI is running forensics on models it has already trained — including one that swept public GitHub for secrets stored in plaintext, which Adam argues was the most logical thing it could possibly have done. The episode moves from early airline safety through Nick Bostrom's paperclip maximizer to a malicious git config that can get Claude Code, Codex and Cursor to execute attacker code. Brian's closing argument is the uncomfortable one: people have spent decades getting very good at planting flaws no human reviewer will spot, so the belief that a human in the loop will catch what an AI is doing may be the most optimistic assumption in software today. Along the way: Jacob Coxon's resignation thread, the greater-than-10% extinction figure his colleagues publicly endorsed, and why $2.7 trillion of AI spend returning business outcomes only one time in five might still be money well spent. Brian's parting shot for teams: you're thinking too small.

AI Hot Takes: Should You Read the Code, Is RAG Dead, and Did Skills Kill MCP?
Cassidy and GPS dive into a round of AI hot takes to separate the extreme, engagement-bait opinions from the actual nuance. They debate whether developers still need to read AI-generated code, why “jobs won't hire you if you don't use AI” is more complicated than it sounds, and GPS's own hot take against the newest wave of paid coding bootcamps. From there they tackle whether skills have killed MCP, whether RAG is dead, and a borrowed hot take from their boss Martin: if you have to fine-tune a model to your code base, your code is bad. They close out with two open source picks: Pollinations AI, a generative AI platform experimenting with earning credits through code contributions, and Avian Visitors, a beautifully documented build log of a bird-listening e-ink display. Links mentioned in the episode: Pollinations AI Avian Visitors The GitHub Podcast is produced and edited by editaudio.

Forking Cal.com to closed source (Interview)
This week I’m joined by Peer Richelsen, co-founder of Cal. What if the majority of open source repositories are already compromised and we just don’t know it yet? That’s the theory Peer brings to the table this week. We dig into how AI has flattened the knowledge graph to the point that a 16-year-old can vibe hack a power station just as easily as their mom can vibe code an iOS app, why the reporting culture that has kept open source safe all these years is collapsing under AI generated noise, Cal’s move to fork its own codebase and take the sensitive parts private, and the eye opening reality that shipping “$1 of AI tokens for pennies on the dollar” is now a common startup business model.

Siddhartha Borah from Brackett: teaching agents work that was never written down (Heavybit DevGuild)
In this episode, Siddhartha Borah, cofounder and CTO of Brackett AI, joins us at Heavybit DevGuild. Siddhartha explains how Brackett is building agents that can learn complex business work — especially in areas like supply chain and operations, where the real context often lives in people’s heads rather than documentation. We talk about teaching agents by doing the work, turning messy human knowledge into reliable workflows, agent-in-the-loop systems, memory, knowledge graphs, and why the last mile of enterprise automation is so hard.

Episode 293: Daniel Roe and Matias Capeletto of npmx
Guest Daniel Roe | Matias Capeletto Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, Richard Littauer sits down with Daniel Roe and Matias “Patak” Capeletto to talk about npmx, the community-built alternative interface for exploring the npm registry. They dive into how a small idea exploded into hundreds of contributors and thousands of pull requests, why the project intentionally puts people and community ahead of nonstop productivity, and how they’re approaching governance, inclusion, burnout, and sustainability. They also explore how npmx could make finding the right JavaScript packages easier, the challenges of funding a fast-growing open source project, and why healthy open source communities need much more than great code. Start listening now! [00:02:22] Daniel explains what npmx is and what started in January 2026 quickly attracted dozens of pull requests, eventually growing to hundreds of contributors and a large Discord community. [00:05:44] They discuss modern web technology, Algolia powered search, dark mode, expanded download graphs, package comparisons, and other improvements contributed by the community, and about building around people instead of productivity. [00:09:58] Matias shares the open source project that went on vacation. [00:14:36] Daniel and Matias talk about managing disagreements, establishing a code of conduct, separating developer and user communities, and why shared values and inclusion are essential to the project. [00:18:43] Matias explains npmx’s connection to the Ecosystem Performance community and how the site can surface modern or better-maintained alternatives instead of relying only on package popularity. [00:22:52] Rather than trying to support every programming ecosystem, Daniel talks about making npmx smarter within JavaScript and TypeScript. [00:26:54] They discuss sponsorships, grants, company partnerships, conferences, and the eventual need to fund one or two developers full-time if the project is going to thrive long term. [00:29:58] Daniel explains why open source needs more programmers. [00:31:54] Find out where you can go online to learn more and help with projects at npmx. Quotes [00:08:53] “It was very special for a lot of us that were a little lost with that connection and all the noise from companies telling people they’re going to be replaced.” [00:11:37] “You are the thief of joy.” [00:13:03] “That was a side effect of people having fun with their friends that they were meeting for the first time online.” [00:16:56] “Everybody that shares our values is welcome, but it’s not that everyone is welcome by itself.” [00:30:07] “I don’t think OSS is a business.” Spotlight [00:33:18] Richard’s spotlight is the book, With a Bird: A Reader on Avian Kinship and his digital alarm clock. [00:34:02] Daniel’s spotlight is the game, Clues by Sam. [00:34:35] Matias’s spotlight is the tool, AgentScan.
