Failover Weekly: Is AI Slowing You Down?
Big week. My interview with Alberto González (CTO of WebRTC.ventures) dropped today — we got into WebRTC in enterprise, AI in voice and streaming, and why building real-time comms at scale is harder than it looks. Also this week: the AI productivity paradox keeps coming up in conversations. More code generated, but not necessarily faster shipping. Jeff Keyes on The Reasoning Show articulates exactly why.

The Reasoning Show — How AI is Transforming Software Development
Jeff Keyes, Field CTO at AllStacks, digs into the gap between AI code generation velocity and actual delivery outcomes. Spoiler: more automated code often means more debugging, not faster shipping.
Software Defined Talk — Building Voice and Streaming Apps for the Enterprise
Alberto González, CTO of WebRTC.ventures, walks through the real-world challenges of voice and streaming infrastructure — WebRTC integration, AI's role in real-time comms, and what developers consistently get wrong. Good one.
The Cloud Pod — Gmail Finally Lets You Ditch xXDragonSlayer2004Xx
Google now lets US users change their Gmail address once a year. Also covered: supply chain attacks on Trivy and Axios, NVIDIA GTC's shift from raw compute to inference efficiency, and a Claude Code npm packaging slip that exposed source code.
Podcast of the Week
Practical AI — Post-Mortem of Anthropic's Claude Code Leak
Dan and Chris dig into what the Claude Code source exposure actually revealed — and what it means for agentic AI security architecture. The open source community is already eyeing the harness design. Worth a listen if you're paying attention to how AI agents get built and secured.
Non-Tech Pod of the Week
The Daily — Who Is Satoshi Nakamoto?
NYT investigative reporter John Carreyrou spent a year digging through old internet postings and running machine learning analyses to identify Bitcoin's creator — and he thinks it's Adam Back. After the article published, Back reached out and asked to respond on the show. Whether you buy the conclusion or not, it's a great piece of reporting and the live rebuttal makes it even better.
