You Are Not Broken: A Candid Talk on Burnout & Mental Health with Roman Ferstl (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three years ago, Roman Ferstl — entrepreneur, founder, and returning PurePerformance guest — found himself experiencing something he struggled to explain to anyone who hadn't lived it. In this episode, he joins Andi Grabner and Brian Wilson to talk openly about burnout, anxiety, and depression: how they overlap, how they build on each other, and what the science of sleep, the nervous system, and neuroplasticity reveals about why recovery is genuinely possible. Honest about therapy, medication, a
Can AI Save the Planet — Or Is It the Problem? Building Green Software With Anne Currie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When AI can generate and optimize code at scale, does that make software greener — or just faster to get wrong - or does it cost more to train and run those AI models then the savings we have optimizing our own software? Anne Currie, co-author of O'Reilly's Building Green Software, joins us to untangle the paradox. US data centers are on track to consume over 10% of the national grid by 2030 with a growing part of that energy going to AI workloads, yet it may also be our best tool for writing mo
80% AI-Written Code: How 1KOMMA5 Measured the Real Impact of AI on Engineering (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI coding tools are everywhere, but how do you prove they're actually making engineers more productive? In this episode of PurePerformance, hosts Brian Wilson and Andi Grabner welcome Michael Reichenbach, Platform Engineer at 1KOMMA5°, to discuss the company's journey toward more than 80% AI-written code. Rather than relying on anecdotes or hype, Michael shares how his team designed a real experiment to measure the impact of AI-assisted development. We explore the metrics they chose, why traditi
Blueprints for OTel Success: Standardizing Observability at Scale with Dan Gomez Blanco (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"There is no single way to deploy OpenTelemetry at scale—and that’s exactly the challenge." As organizations adopt OTel across teams and environments, they face tough questions around standardization, configuration, and operating resilient observability pipelines. To address these challenges, the OpenTelemetry community has introduced Blueprints and Reference Implementations—practical guidance on topics like data standards, consistent agent and collector configuration, pipeline resilience, and i
OpenTelemetry and the Reality of Vendor Choice with Adriana Villela and Josh Lee (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I still hear people say, “OpenTelemetry is vendor-neutral, so you can switch any time!” In this episode, Adriana Villela and Josh Lee (both active OpenTelemetry contributors) help bust that myth. While OTel standardizes instrumentation and signal transport—and unlocks a rich ecosystem of tools—switching vendors isn’t as simple as it sounds. There’s real cost in retraining engineers, migrating dashboards, SLOs, and alerts, and reworking deep integrations across your delivery pipeline. We also div
