On episode 60 of Generationship, @rachelchalmers speaks with Vasanth Mohan (@v_mohan_) of @SambaNovaAI about when faster AI agents actually mean better work. They explore why token consumption and code volume are poor substitutes for business value, how inference latency interrupts productive workflows, and why engineering taste still matters. Sometimes the most valuable thing an engineer can produce is less code.

On episode 59 of Generationship, @rachelchalmers speaks with Emily Long and Alex Zenla, co-founders of #Edera, about rethinking the foundations of cloud and AI security. They explain how an IoT side project became an approach to workload isolation built around Xen and Rust, and why AI agents are making stronger security boundaries increasingly urgent. Along the way, they discuss complementary leadership skills, fundraising lessons, and the value of questioning the industry’s technical assumptions.
