Listen to Ep 200: Ed Gamble and James Acaster (with special guest genie Rylan Clark) from Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster. As we round off another hundo, it’s time to flip the table once again and make Ed and James the guest diners in the dream restaurant. Have their choices changed over the last 100 episodes? And will they exploit as many loopholes as their first attempt? And, once again, the genie is transferring his powers to one of our favourite guests from the last century, Rylan Clark!A massive thanks to Rylan for being our guest genie. A huge thank you to you all for listening to our stupid podcast over the last 200 episodes.

One hundred! The hundo! The big 1-0-0! In a milestone episode, Ed and James finally reveal their dream meals. And who better for the genie to transfer his powers to than Off Menu fave and this episode’s special guest host, Claudia Winkleman!

When technical systems fail at companies like Netflix or Etsy, every minute of downtime can cost millions. That's why incident.io is building AI systems that can automatically investigate and diagnose technical problems faster than human engineers. In this episode of The AI Adoption Playbook, Lawrence Jones, Product Engineer at incident.io, tells Ravin how they're creating an automated incident investigator that can analyze logs, traces, and metrics to determine what went wrong during an outage. He shares their methodical approach to AI development, focusing on measurable progress through evaluation metrics and scorecards rather than intuitive "vibe-based" changes. Lawrence also discusses the evolution of their AI teams and roles, including their newly launched AI Engineer position designed specifically for the unique challenges of AI development, and how they use LLMs themselves to evaluate AI system performance. Topics discussed: Building an AI incident investigator that can automatically analyze logs, traces, and metrics to determine the root cause of technical outages. Creating comprehensive evaluation frameworks with scorecards and metrics to measure AI performance against historical incident data. Using LLMs as evaluators to determine if AI responses were helpful by analyzing post-incident conversations and user feedback. Developing internal tooling that enables teams to rapidly test and improve AI systems while maintaining quality standards. Evolving from individual "vibe-based" AI development to team-based systematic improvement with clear metrics for success. Structuring AI engineering roles and teams to balance product engineering skills with specialized AI development knowledge. Implementing product-focused AI features like chatbots that can help automate routine tasks during incident response. Leveraging parallel human and AI processes to collect validation data and improve AI system performance over time. Building versus buying AI evaluation tools and the advantages of custom solutions integrated with existing product data. Exploring the future of AI in technical operations and whether AI will enhance or replace human roles in incident management. Listen to more episodes:  Apple  Spotify  YouTube

We sit down with Scott Hanselman at Microsoft Build 2025 to discuss open sourcing all the things, cool stuff Windows can do, where we want (and don't want) AI to fit into our lives, building arcade cabinets, and so much more.

When it comes to building distributed systems, RPC and REST style interfaces aren't the only options. Events provide an alternative way to build a distributed system that can result in more robust ...

Daniel Stenberg, the maintainer of Curl, discusses the increase in AI security reports that are wasting the time of maintainers. We discuss Curl's new policy of banning the bad actors while establishing some pretty sane AI usage guidelines. We chat about how this low-effort, high-impact abuse pattern is a denial-of-service attack on the curl project (and other open source projects too).
