Gene Baur is the founder of Farm Sanctuary, a place of rescue, refuge, and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year. Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene has also led campaigns to change laws about animal treatment and taken undercover photographs of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement. Once called “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine, Gene walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to food and animal rights. Jay and Gene discuss the political and cultural steps that will bring about the end of factory farming and a healthier approach to animals and food.

The Art of Assembly: Exploring Low-Level Mastery with Randall Hyde 37:28

לפני 5 weeks37:28

37:28

In this episode of Hanselminutes, Scott Hanselman talks with Randall Hyde, renowned for his expertise in programming and assembly language. Known as the creator of the Lisa Assembler and the author of The Art of Assembly Language and Write Great Code series, Randall shares his journey from developing in assembler for early computing systems to working on modern nuclear reactor control systems. He discusses the evolution of software development, the value of assembly language in today's programming landscape, teaching methodologies, and the balance between low-level understanding and high-level productivity. Key Topics Randall Hyde's Academic and Professional Background (00:02.72) Assembly Language Beginnings with the Lisa Assembler (00:33.45) The Evolution of Randall's Work from Games to Nuclear Engineering (04:54.99) The Importance of Understanding Low-Level Machine Behavior (06:46.75) How Assembly Language Has Evolved and Its Modern Relevance (16:11.62) HLA (High-Level Assembler) as a Teaching Tool (20:20.46) The Rise of ARM Architectures and Changing Processor Technology (29:24.59) The Need for Efficient Code in the Multi-Core Era (33:31.42) Main Takeaways Low-Level Understanding is Foundational : Randall emphasizes that understanding machine organization and low-level behavior is essential to writing better high-level code. Practical vs. Academic Learning : College enforces learning through structure, but much of coding excellence comes from individual, rigorous practice in understanding how systems work under the hood. Evolving Utility of Assembly Language : While assembly language isn’t a daily tool for most programmers, knowing it provides critical insights into low-level optimizations essential for performance-critical applications. Shift in Performance Gains : Modern compilers and multi-core systems have reduced the performance advantages of assembly, yet efficient code writing remains vital as architecture advances slow down. Accessible Education : Randall’s approach – from pioneering HLA as a bridge to assembly to his comprehensive Write Great Code series – has focused on making low-level concepts easier for new learners to grasp. Resources Mentioned The Art of Assembly Language by Randall Hyde Write Great Code Series (Volumes 1-4) by Randall Hyde Volume 2: Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level RANDALLHYDE.COM : Hyde's website for books, support materials, and resources No Starch Press (Publisher): NoStarch.com Follow along for more insights, tips, and conversations with industry leaders.

APIs as the Execution Layer of AI with Postman's Rodric Rabbah 32:49

לפני 6 weeks32:49

32:49

In this episode of Hanselminutes, Scott Hanselman chats with Roderick Rabah, Head of Product at Postman Flows, about the evolution of software development, the intersection of APIs and AI, and finding the "right layer of abstraction" for problem-solving. Drawing on his deep expertise in compiler optimization, distributed systems, and serverless computing, Rabah shares his perspectives on building tools that empower developers to create efficiently and explores the paradigm shift toward visual programming and AI-driven automation. The conversation dives into how Postman is innovating in the software space, how approaches to software engineering are transforming with generative AI, and why embracing new ways of working is critical for staying ahead in this rapidly evolving technological landscape. Key Topics [01:08] Introduction of Roderick Rabah: From research scientist to API innovator [02:14] Evolution of software development: From FPGAs to serverless computing [03:23] APIs and AI: The transformative intersection powering workflows [05:33] The rise of tool-calling and agents: Simplifying backend tasks [07:33] Managing complexity: Why structured APIs make integration seamless [12:08] Visual programming languages: The paradigm shift for developers [16:42] Postman Flows: Building applications through visual workflows [20:24] Embracing generative AI: How senior and junior engineers benefit [29:02] Deploying with WebAssembly: Making cloud integration accessible [30:33] Reflections on the future of technology and its impact on software careers Main Takeaways API + AI Integration: APIs combined with large language models are unlocking new capabilities for software development by abstracting complex operations and enabling automation. Visual Programming Paradigm Shift: Applications are increasingly built using visual workflows where developers focus on intent rather than low-level code implementation, driving efficiency and accessibility. Generative AI Empowerment: Generative AI tools are accelerating the pace of innovation, empowering engineers to fix bugs, streamline workflows, and manage edge cases efficiently. Structured APIs Critical for AI: Thoughtfully designed APIs with proper documentation and safeguards are essential to ensure that autonomous AI agents interact correctly and securely. Accessible Deployment: New runtime frameworks, like serverless with WebAssembly, make it easier for developers to deploy applications across the cloud, enabling broader adoption of AI-driven solutions. Notable Quotes "Serverless is where you think about servers less." – Scott Hanselman "At what point does communicating your intent to AI become programming again?" – Roderick Rabah "Visual programming resonates with builders because it matches the mental model of decomposing problems." – Roderick Rabah "Technology transforms rapidly. You have to figure out how to wield this immense power." – Roderick Rabah "Don’t throw away your critical thinking just because AI makes building faster." – Roderick Rabah Resources Mentioned Postman Flows – Tools for visual programming and API integrations: postman.com Replit – Generative coding platform for automating development tasks: replit.com WebAssembly – Runtime framework for deploying serverless applications: webassembly.org Books on Compiler Theory: Suggested resource for expanding understanding of abstractions Follow along for more insights, tips, and conversations with industry leaders.

When authors want to talk about their book they go on a book tour and often they go to large companies like Microsoft and speak to us in person. I had the opportunity to interview Dave Berry in person and I jumped at it. I grew up reading his humor column syndicated in The Oregonian, and his brand of sarcasm and dry humor matches mine. This episode is that raw recording in association with and with the permission of Microsoft's Outside in Lecture Series program.
