Topic 1 - Welcome back to the show. You are a rockstar in the developer world, and maybe unknown in the infrastructure world. Tell us a little bit about your background.

Topic 2 - [Developers as a Whole] In 2023, do you think about developers any differently than you did in 2018 or 2021? Do you think about developers in terms of things they get done, or the types of work they do (front-end, back-end, mobile, data-science, etc.), or something else?

Topic 3 - [Trends] What are the big developer-centric trends that you are tracking or really have your interest? AI? Hosting services? Database services? WASM?

Topic 4 - [Platforms] Will we ever find that PaaS pot-of-golf at the end of the rainbow, or is the dream of platforms just a unicorn? Or do we have to realize that successful platforms are all micro-platforms?

Topic 5 - [Languages] Redmonk famously tracks development languages every six months. It feels like there are only two trends - what stays the same, and the language that is the new hotness. Do languages really matter?

Topic 6 - [Culture] Lots of people talk about changing a company’s culture to better serve the needs of developers. Do you have any examples of where that has worked, or best practices?
