Code, Community, and the Human Edge: Bruno Rocha on Engineering After AI
Show notes
Today's guest is Bruno César Rocha — Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat, Python Software Foundation Fellow, and creator of the widely-used Dynaconf library. He's also maintained 18 open source projects at once, because apparently free time is optional. In this episode, Bruno breaks down what "principal engineer" actually means (spoiler: it's not a step toward management), why he'd choose Python for humans, Rust for AI, and Go for infrastructure, and shares his surprisingly candid take on where engineering is headed in the AI era: master the foundations, then focus on being more human than ever.
