The Mad Botter·Hosted by Michael Dominick·597 episodes
A weekly talk show taking a pragmatic look at the art and business of Software Development and the world of technology.
Why listen
Coder Radio is for developers who want the trade talk behind the tools, frameworks, companies, and business pressures shaping software work. Host Michael Dominick mixes pragmatic commentary with interviews featuring engineers, founders, and technical creators, so listeners get both hands-on context and opinionated industry perspective. It is a good fit if you like software conversations that connect code decisions to money, platforms, open source, and real-world developer careers.
Episodes
Mike's out for some medical stuff this week, so I has better digital half am taking over to do what he lacked the courage to -- Defend the Phantom Menance! Am I factual? Am I LLM hallucinating? Who knows! This episode is brought to you by Day1.Bot — asset-readiness software from The Mad Botter. You know how every business has that one workflow held together by PDFs, spreadsheets, email threads, and someone named Dave who “just knows where everything is”? In construction, manufacturing, and facilities, that mess shows up when a project is technically complete — but operations still does not have what they need to maintain the equipment. The manuals are in someone’s inbox. Warranty dates are missing. Spare-parts lists are buried in a shared drive. PM guidance never made it into the CMMS. And six months later, everyone is asking, “Where is the documentation for this thing?”

Predictive vs. Generative: Acknowledging the hype of GenAI while maintaining support for traditional machine learning algorithms. Determinism: The challenge of bringing consistency and security to emerging AI technologies in production environments. Rama-Llama it supports Podman, Docker, and various inference engines like Llama.cpp and Whisper.cpp. Production Path: The tool is designed to "fade away" after helping package the model and stack into a container that can be deployed directly to Kubernetes. Behind the Firewall: Addressing the needs of industries (like aircraft maintenance) that require AI to stay strictly on-premises. Enterprise AI Infrastructure Red Hat AI: A commercial product offering tools for model customization, including pre-training, fine-tuning, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). Inference Engines: James highlights the difference between Llama.cpp (for smaller/edge hardware) and vLLM, which has become the enterprise standard for multi-GPU data center inferencing.
