This interview is part of our recent efforts to make sense of the software engineering landscape in the age of AI. In this interview, Nathaniel and I spent a lot of time talking about the major, structural issues in the GPU programming market and how Tracel plans to address them with their Rust-based stack. It is hard to understate how big the problems that Tracel is tackling are, and it was exciting to talk to Nathaniel so early in the journey.

In this episode, we discussed how IBM is moving beyond the "science fiction" phase of quantum computing into an era of "quantum utility." And, we dove deep into how IBM is using Rust to build a high-performance core for Qiskit.

It was fun to ask JBK about the challenges of scaling a massive public cloud in the age of the AI buildout. We also talked about where and why Scaleway is using Rust. And, I learned that JBK is an incredibly prolific engineer and entrepreneur with a deep personal investment in the Rust community.

For this interview, I talked to Adrian Garcia Badaracco and Peter Lesty of Pydantic. Pydantic is an extremely popular type validation library for Python, but it’s also the name of the company behind the fast-growing observability platform Logfire. We talked about the Rust-accelerated Python trend, how Pydantic is using Rust to build a high performance query engine for Logfire, what it’s like working at Pydantic, and more.
