Ben Popper chats with Keith Babo, Head of Product at Solo.io, about how the API security landscape is changing in the era of GenAI. They talk through the role of governance in AI, the importance of data protection, and the role API gateways play in enhancing security and functionality. Keith shares his insights on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, protecting PII, and the necessity of human-in-the-loop AI development.

Today we chat with Reshma Khilnani, co-founder and CEO of Medplum, an open-source platform enabling companies to build healthcare applications like EHRs and patient portals. She discusses how to iterate rapidly in an industry where SOC2 compliance is just the beginning (one of the compliance tests is named after Dante’s epic poem depicting the nine circles of hell, if that gives you an idea).

It’s easy to generate code, but not so easy to generate good code.

Charity Majors

This week we chat with Kamakshi Narayan, Director of Product Management at SnapLogic, about how APIs can apply fine-grained controls for privacy and governance to the LLM-powered AI apps vacuuming up our data.

Ben Popper

We asked when and how often CodeGen tools fall short, what challenges developers face with these tools, and what they are doing with all of the free time these tools purport to offer.

Ben and Ryan talk with Vikram Chatterji, founder and CEO of Galileo, a company focused on building and evaluating generative AI apps. They discuss the challenges of benchmarking and evaluating GenAI models, the importance of data quality in AI systems, and the trade-offs between using pre-trained models and fine-tuning models with custom data.

Ben and Ryan are joined by Nick Heudecker, Senior Director of Market Strategy and Competitive Intelligence at Cribl, to discuss the state of data and analytics. They cover GenAI, the role of incumbents vs. startups, challenges of data storage and security, data quality and ETL pipelines, measures of data quality for GenAI, and Cribl’s role in the data and observability space.

Ben and Ryan are joined by Bill Harding, CEO of GitClear, for a discussion of AI-generated code quality and its impact on productivity. GitClear’s research has highlighted the fact that while AI can suggest valid code, it can’t necessarily reuse and modify existing code—a recipe for long-term challenges in maintainability and test coverage if devs are too dependent on AI code-gen tools.

Plenty of workers prefer flexibility, regardless of what the research says.

A business wouldn’t take its product development for granted, so why would you neglect the OSS community that’s fundamental to the project’s very existence?

Mike Donovan

Both new talent and late-career developers are more likely to be looking.

Erin Yepis

The core challenge posed by generative AI right now is that unlike conventional applications, LLMs have no “delete” button.

Sean Falconer

For AI tools to be useful to your team, they have to fit into your existing workflows.

Eira May

If you want the tech debt metaphor to really shine, get some numbers behind it.

Ryan Donovan

Providing the right context to AI can improve accuracy and reduce hallucinations.

Eira May

Thousands of the company’s engineers, data scientists, designers, and developers have asked and answered questions about how things work inside their organization.
