Welcome to Signals, the podcast where we step back from the hype to really look at what's shaping technology and the industries around it. In each episode, we talk with industry experts to surface real trends, question our assumptions, and unpack why things work the way they do today. We're not just focused on what's new, but on the decisions, defaults, and debates that got us here, and what they might mean in the long run. Politique et gouvernement

  • The Human Core of Engineering in the Age of AI

    The Human Core of Engineering in the Age of AI
    Jun 10 2026
    In this episode, our experts address a deceptively complex question: What is AI actually doing to the software industry? Not as a tool or a trend, but as an accelerant. They dig into why agility seems strangely quiet, whether the software crisis was ever really solved, and what all these rapid changes mean for the way we build and think about software.

    Making Accessibility the New Standard in an AI-Driven World
    May 27 2026
    In this episode, host Michael Dowden sits down with Jemima Abu, a senior product engineer, to explore how web accessibility is not just an optional business requirement but a fundamental responsibility to build useful products for all users. They unpack the dual role of AI, illustrating how it can inherit human biases to produce flawed code while also serving as a powerful tool for accelerating essential tasks such as alt-text generation and transcript proofreading. Ultimately, the episode calls for a mindset shift toward intentionality, urging developers to leverage new technologies to create more inclusive digital experiences that can stand the test of time.

  • Node.js: Moving Too Fast for Corporations, but Too Slow for Developers

    Node.js: Moving Too Fast for Corporations, but Too Slow for Developers
    May 13 2026
    The episode focuses on the operational and security landscape of Node.js. Marco and Rafael explain that Node.js development is driven by volunteers rather than a formal product roadmap, with significant time dedicated to security releases and triaging reports from platforms like HackerOne. A major theme is the rise of "AI slop"—low-quality, AI-generated bug reports that consume valuable maintainer time. To combat this, the team has implemented stricter reporter reputation requirements. The episode also discusses the project's evolution toward including more built-in modules to improve user experience, the recent stabilization of native TypeScript support, and ongoing debates regarding the frequency of major release cycles.
