Database branching: Overcoming the bottlenecks of shared database environments
<p>Database branching has, for a long time, been a troublesome piece in the modern developer workflow puzzle: a good idea in principle but in practice a slow and often expensive challenge. Get it right and you can accelerate productivity and remove bottlenecks; get it wrong and you're potentially creating all sorts of trouble for yourself, from privacy risks to additional complexity.</p> <p>However, things are changing. Thanks to the emergence of new platforms such as Neon, Supabase and Databricks Lakebase, branching a database can become as familiar to developers as managing code branches and multiple environments with, say...

Not All Dividends Are Equal: Dividend Kings, Aristocrats, and Red Flags
<p>Not all dividends are created equal. In this episode, Andrew and Stephen break down two popular “quality filters” dividend investors use—Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Kings —and why a long streak can be a useful starting point for stock ideas, not a guarantee of safety.</p> <p><br></p> <p>They also dig into what a dividend streak can signal about a business, plus the red flags that can turn a “safe yield” into a trap—like unsustainable payout ratios, too much debt, and REIT-style dilution that gives you “your own pie back.” Finally, Andrew walks through a practical dividend checklist...

How to Choose Ownership over Earned Income
What if the thing keeping you from wealth isn't the market — it's the energy you're bringing to it?<br /> <br /> In this episode I'm sharing what's been on my mind lately: transmutation of energy, what it means to actually be positioned, and why waiting to invest is a pattern, not logic.

<p>Money stress isn’t just about dollars—it’s about what money does to your brain.

#310: Modern Value Investing w/ Jose Mayora
<p>The typical definition of Value Investing: Buying an asset for less than it’s truly worth. But according to this week’s guest Jose Najarro, the concept is widely misunderstood.</p><p>Too often, value investing is associated with older, slower companies, think utilities, and traditional metrics like low price-to-earnings or price-to-book ratios. But those alone don’t define value. Every valuation comes with a set of implicit assumptions, and the real skill lies in unpacking them and deciding whether they’re realistic.</p><p>In fact, some of Jose’s best-performing investments would never have been labeled “value plays” by con...

We saw that song play out when Qantas went from an untouchable Aussie icon to a national disgrace during the pandemic, and we've seen it happen to the once-sparkling reputations of Optus, Coles, and Woolworths over the past...
Anthropic Mythos: Hype, reality and the actual security implications
<p>Anthropic Mythos garnered significant attention when it was launched in mid-April 2026. Yet despite it apparently presenting an unprecedented threat to global software, you don't have to look to closely to see that this was an effective product launch as much as a story about the grave security risks of today's AI models. </p> <p>But this isn't to say there aren't important implications for software developers, security professionals and other technologists.
