Can Compliance Be A Piece Of Cake? Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

It’s tempting to treat compliance as a simple checklist. But treating it as an afterthought can be dangerous, and can damage customer trust. Prioritizing both compliance and security in your infrastructure lifecycle from the start is essential—especially as threats become more sophisticated. Rhiannon Holley, cybersecurity department chair at Fayetteville Technical Community College, joins the show to emphasize why human critical thinking remains irreplaceable.

Infrastructure At The Edge Jun 18, 2026

Show notes

Edge computing has existed far longer than many realize. However, the proliferation of 5G networks and the mass adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices have made it a cornerstone of modern infrastructure. John Harris, who manages technology strategy at Panasonic Connect, explains how edge computing devices are quietly running the world around us, from retail stores to space exploration.

Breaking Down AI Biases May 08, 2025

Show notes

Does your health insurance chatbot need to tell jokes? No. Does it need to be accurate? Absolutely. That's hard when biases get in the way. The introduction of bias into a model can be unintentional, but it can have significant consequences for those relying on its guidance. The Compiler team examines the ways bias can creep in, and what steps can be taken to address it.

Air-gapped Networks May 30, 2024

Show notes

From healthcare to banking, there’s a lot of industries that require the utmost protection for sensitive data. But for those sectors, innovation is also essential. That’s why disconnected environments—or air-gap environments—can be seen across the IT landscape. But how do they work? How do technologists ensure the data is accurate and usable, and how can these environments foster innovation?

The Legend Of Hadoop Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

In 2002, Hadoop hit the scene, and quickly became a media darling. Twenty years later, typing the term into a search engine will return questions about its continued relevance—or possible lack thereof.

Is Hadoop still important? Where is it most visible today? The Compiler team dives hard into the project, and how it forever changed the way we look at data.

Hardy Hardware Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

Old hardware needs love and attention. But not too much—you don’t want to upset the status quo. Legacy servers, devices, and machinery are probably part of every company’s can’t-lose infrastructure. And it’s not always possible to replace.

Hardware has a knack for sticking around. Knowing how to keep it running can help avoid catastrophe.

What Are Tech Hiring Managers Looking For? Sep 02, 2021

Show notes

Interviewing for a job is often a stressful process. Most people don’t enjoy the inherent judgment involved. Being prepared helps—but what exactly are you preparing for? There isn’t a single interview process that covers the whole tech industry, not even for technical positions alone. But they do have elements in common.

Whiteboard exercises and verbal pseudocode help reveal basic coding ability. But that’s not the only point of those interviews. In this episode of Compiler, we learn about the hiring process from the perspective of applicants and the hiring managers who evaluate them—and the qualities beyond technical knowledge they take into consideration.

What Can Video Games Teach Us About Edge Computing? Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

From button-mashing brawlers to massive battle royales, there’s a lot of fun to be had in online gaming. That is, if players’ connections are reliable. If you’ve ever dealt with input delay, or wrestled with lag, you know how important a quality connection is in online gaming. But with edge computing on the horizon, what impact might there be on how we play?
The internet, as we’ve explored in past seasons of Command Line Heroes, is a patchwork of international agreements and varying infrastructure. But there’s something coming to change the ways we connect. In this episode of Compiler, we explore what edge computing could mean for people who enjoy video games, and what this form of entertainment could teach us about the technology.
