Animated Bedtime Stories, Telling Dummies What to Do, and Why Docker Lost, with Viktor Farcic

About this Episode
Viktor Farcic is a developer advocate at Upbound, runs the DevOps & AI Toolkit YouTube channel, and was last on the show back in episode 89. Whitney and Coté start with the animated bedtime stories he has started making - tech history told as fairy tales with a nightmare at the end - which he began after catching sight of himself in a mirror and deciding people should not have to watch that. From there it is what his working day looks like now, with 20 to 50 agents running at once, a coder and a tester and a reviewer who are not allowed to do each other's jobs and argue until they agree, and a private YouTube channel where the agents post recorded tests for him to review on his phone in the morning. The last stretch is money: why he thinks AI is cheap next to what a person costs, why he expects a bloodbath as industries fail to adapt, and a walk through Docker, Chef, Puppet, Ansible and HashiCorp on whether an open source company can ever turn a profit on its own.
