He also runs 20 to 50 agents at once, has them argue with each other, and reviews their work off a private YouTube channel in the morning. Plus: why AI is cheap next to a salary, why he expects a bloodbath, and what actually went wrong at Docker. 1:02:20 yes <p>Viktor Farcic is a developer advocate at Upbound, runs the DevOps &amp; 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.</p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/bsART7GgK_0" rel="nofollow noopener">Check it out in YouTube</a>, if you prefer that kind of thing.</p> <p>Mentions:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@devopstoolkit" rel="nofollow noopener">DevOps &amp; AI Toolkit on YouTube</a>, where the bedtime stories live.</li> <li><a href="https://devopstoolkit.live" rel="nofollow noopener">devopstoolkit.live</a> - the blog and video archive.</li> <li><a href="https://devopstoolkit.ai" rel="nofollow noopener">devopstoolkit.ai</a> - the product.</li> <li><a href="https://github.com/vfarcic" rel="nofollow noopener">Viktor on GitHub</a>.</li> <li><a href="https://www.devopsparadox.com" rel="nofollow noopener">DevOps Paradox</a>, his other podcast.</li> <li><a href="https://www.softwaredefinedinterviews.com/89" rel="nofollow noopener">Episode 89</a>, his first time on the show.</li> </ul> <p>Special Guest: Viktor Farcic.</p> <p><em>Show notes written by AI with a human's lazy-look.</em> Special Guest: Viktor Farcic.</p> Viktor Farcic, Upbound, Crossplane, DevOps Toolkit, DevOps & AI Toolkit, DevOps Paradox, AI agents, agentic AI, agent swarm, multi-agent, sub-agents, Claude, OpenCode, Greptile, Higgsfield, AI video generation, generated animation, bedtime stories, tech history, YouTube, content creation, developer advocacy, AI coding, specifications, spec-driven development, agent instructions, code review, automated testing, overnight agents, token cost, AI economics, cost of labour, job displacement, technical management, Docker, Solomon Hykes, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, open source business model, Red Hat, HashiCorp, IBM, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Pulumi, CFEngine, Terraform, configuration management, infrastructure as code, CNCF, Solo.io, acquisitions, IPO, FFmpeg, Descript, Anki 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.
