Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #89 where we have a chat about all things IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter. 

This week, David, Rob, and Leonard debate if the Eagles were the greatest band of the 70s or Led Zeppelin. We also discuss the role of the military in originating transformative "metaverse" technologies, and we discuss the big event of last week, the bankruptcy of Sigfox. Is it an indicator of the lack of viability of current IoT assumptions and business models? Do we need to rethink the massive IoT?

In this installment, we talk about open source software. Is it more secure or just more transparent? Who do you trust? The closed software guys or the open software guys? What about SBOM (software bill of materials)? Can that help in preventing things like Log4J which opens a massive security hole in our digital universe? Get into the fray. It's techno religious war time!

Steve, Andreea, and Leonard jump on the Zoom siloverse for the last episode of 2022 to talk about entrepreneurship, the fear and the challenges of going out on your own, and what it takes to discover a career and life beyond corporate, and getting the origin of Auld Lang Syne compleeeeetely wrong. We also find ourselves talking about forecasts again and how blindly believing them has proven time and time again to be detrimental to company, industry, person, and beyond. It seems like a persistent theme that won't go away. With a reset of interest rates globally to sightly high be "normal" levels, nonsense no longer has a market. So, what do you do if you are caught in the middle going into 2023. Clarity is the key and a focus on value.
