Show by Kevin Dowdy
This week on Software Sundays, KD breaks down a surprising moment in the AI race as Meta reportedly delays its latest model after internal results failed to stand up against the competition.He also unpacks Kraken becoming the first crypto exchange to gain access to the Federal Reserve’s core payment system, and why that shift matters for crypto, privacy, regulation, and the future of digital dollars.Then KD answers community questions on why you need to love what you do, when to walk away from an opportunity, how programming changes the way you solve everyday problems, whether to accept projects with unfamiliar tools, and what the Center for Internet Security actually is.KD closes with a reminder that rest is not a luxury. It is part of building well, thinking clearly, and staying sharp for the long game.
