InfoQ's podcasts are interviews with the software architects, senior engineers, and team leaders who build and operate production systems. Episodes work through the tradeoffs behind real decisions in software architecture, AI and ML engineering, and engineering culture. Guests are practitioners and QCon speakers describing what worked and what broke in systems they built.

Balancing Coupling in Software Design with Vlad Khononov

In this episode, Thomas Betts speaks with Vlad Khononov about balancing coupling in software design, the subject of his recent book. They discuss how coupling is necessary for a system to function, but has to be balanced to allow the system to evolve. Vlad identifies three factors that can be used to measure coupling: knowledge sharing, distance, and volatility.

Understanding What Really Matters for Developer Productivity: a Conversation with Lizzie Matusov

In this podcast Michael Stiefel spoke with Lizzie Matusov about the dependency of effective, productive, and satisfied teams on good software architecture. Understanding this relationship requires understanding exactly what software productivity really is, how modern software engineering research has become more rigorous and practical, and how to apply that research to software development.
