Description

A podcast where 30 years of building production systems meets the chaos of modern software development.


Hosted by Ran Aroussi – creator of open-source libraries with tens of millions of monthly installs, now building production AI infrastructure at MUXI. This is where he talks about the tech that actually matters, cuts through the AI hype, and shares what he's learning as he builds autonomous systems that need to work at scale.


No fluff. No "thought leadership" BS. No interviews with people selling courses.


Just a veteran engineer's take on coding, AI, infrastructure, production systems, and whatever tech catches his attention – from a perspective you won't get from someone who learned to code in 2022.


If you're tired of framework-of-the-week syndrome and want the unfiltered truth about what works and what's worth checking out, this is your show.


New episodes when there's something worth saying. Not on a schedule. Never will be.
