Why we need Ladybird
Andreas Kling and Chris Wanstrath have joined forces to form a non-profit called Ladybird Browser Initiative to manage the newly forked Ladybird browser. We discuss what it’s going to take to get to alpha, the why behind Ladybird, avoiding incentives other than those of the users, their plans for incremental adoption of Swift as the successor language over C++, and of course what they hope Ladybird can achieve as a truly independent open source browser that’s for the people.

Reinventing Kafka on object storage
Ryan Worl, Co-founder and CTO at WarpStream, joins us to talk about the world of Kafka and data streaming and how WarpStream redesigned the idea of Kafka to run in modern cloud environments directly on top of object storage. Last year they posted a blog titled, “Kafka is dead, long live Kafka” that hit the top of Hacker News to put WarpStream on the map. We get the backstory on Kafka and why it’s so widely used, who created it and for what purpose, and the behind the scenes on all things WarpStream.

Transcript
Alright, thank you so much, Andrew Guenther for being on the show today. And today, we're talking all about shipping in space. Welcome to the show. My first question is when you have some code that's running in space on a rocket ship, and if it's a class that maybe is undeclared... Is that an unidentified flying object?
Andrew Guenther:Oh, that's a boo. That's a boo for me, dawg. \[laughter\]
