Ep 16: Could YOU Recreate Amazon S3 At Home With Claude?? With Justin Cormack

A wild ride through Justin Cormack's attempts to build really hard stuff using AI. Did he recreate Amazon s3 in his back bedroom in a couple of weeks?

A fun dive into the fascinating world of AI-assisted software development, Unikernels, and the future of programming languages, with Justin Cormack.

Justin was the CTO of Docker for a decade, is one of the founders of Unikernels and is a leading figure in cloud-native and systems programming. In this episode, Anne hears all about his current experiments with building big, proper systems code using AI.

We also hear about his thoughts on the future of languages. Does Rust have it nailed or might there be something better coming along? Should we really have coding languages at all anymore?

In this episode we hear about:

• Justin's recent experiments with AI-generated code and how it accelerates complex software creation
• The concept of unikernels and how they differ from traditional operating systems
• Challenges and opportunities in building cloud-native and AI-optimized software systems - good, hard, scaleable software
• The role of programming languages like Rust, Zig, and emerging trends in AI-friendly languages
