    The Architecture of the Internet with Erik Seidel

    The modern internet is a vast web of independent networks bound together by billions of routing decisions made every second. It’s an architecture so reliable we mostly take it for granted, but behind the scenes it represents one of humanity’s greatest engineering achievements. Today’s internet is also dramatically more complex and capable than in its early years. Erik Seidel is a Network Engineer at Cloudflare, where he focuses on automating global network infrastructure. He joins the show to discuss his unique journey into tech, the fundamentals of how the internet works, the Border Gateway Protocol, peering versus transit, Cloudflare’s architecture, networking in China, and much more. Gregor Vand is a security-focused technologist, having previously been a CTO across cybersecurity, cyber insurance and general software engineering companies. He is based in Singapore and can be found via his profile at vand.hk or on LinkedIn. Please click here to see the transcript of this episode.

    Building AI Agents on the Frontend with Sam Bhagwat and Abhi Aiyer

    Most AI agent frameworks are backend-focused and written in Python, which introduces complexity when building full-stack AI applications with JavaScript or TypeScript frontends. This gap makes it harder for frontend developers to prototype, integrate, and iterate on AI-powered features. Mastra is an open-source TypeScript framework focused on building AI agents and has primitives such as agents, tools, workflows, and RAG. Sam Bhagwat and Abhi Aiyer are co-founders at Mastra. They join the podcast with Nick Nisi to talk about this state of frontend tooling for AI agents, AI agent primitives, MCP integration, and more. Nick Nisi is a conference organizer, speaker, and developer focused on tools across the web ecosystem. He has organized and emceed several conferences and has led NebraskaJS for more than a decade. Nick currently works as a developer experience engineer at WorkOS. Please click here to see the transcript of this episode.
