In episode 9 we talk about some of the Jewish holidays that Michael celebrates, updates to the Null Edge conference coming up soon (October 17th!), and (yet again) discussing the eventual demise of Workflow Editor in ServiceNow with the Zurich release. Speaking of Zurich - we also discuss some of the updates in the release, as well as Michael not quite remembering if there's a new capability to create UI Builder Components (he swears he saw someone post something on LinkedIn, by that one person that one month and on that one day).

For those that prefer the AI version:
In this episode of Star 42, Michael and Jace discuss various topics related to ServiceNow, including the upcoming Knowledge 26 conference, the CreatorCon event, and the latest updates from the Zurich release. They share personal anecdotes, insights on AI enhancements, and the transition from Workflow Editor to Flow Designer. The conversation also touches on the importance of documenting knowledge and the potential for future content creation.

In episode 6 we are joined by Jason Rosenfeld, the new Chief Growth and Alliances Officer at New Rocket! Jason just announced his recent move and spent time with us to discuss why he chose New Rocket as his next career chapter, what he's looking forward to in the new role, and where he's looking to make the biggest impact.

We also spend some time discussing the latest in employment news (layoffs again), and what we're seeing in the workplace with AI adoption. Needless to say, it was great to have Jason join us to give some of his views and insight into the topics, and we're looking forward to watching his success at New Rocket!

In this episode we talk about news with vibe coded apps getting hacked, our interesting views on Halo ITSM and seeing its growth in the IT Service Management world, and our "heated" exchange on ServiceNow's Flow Designer vs Workflow Editor. We also pour one out upon hearing that with ServiceNow's Zurich Release scheduled for later this year, all the out of box workflows in Workflow Editor have been migrated over to Flow Designer, beginning the deprecation of Workflow Editor (it's a bittersweet conversation on this one).

 Welcome to Star 42 for our May 30th, 2025 episode! Join us as we have a small debate if this is episode 1 or 2, we cover some of the latest news in the tech world when it comes to AI (and don't miss the new Yoda quote), and we cover a demo of Michael's Trivia Now 2.0 game!

As we always state, opinions are those of the hosts and not of any other organization. Everything is unscripted so we're not responsible for horrible dad jokes or awkward moments. But hey, it's just 20-30 minutes, so how bad can it be? 

Our initial episode of Star42 (we're calling it episode 0.5) where we kick-off this new podcast, make introductions, talk a bit about various topics, and purposely don't really do a formal wrap-up as we're looking forward to continuing the discussion for our next episode.

In this episode we discuss Jace's initial AI project from 2023, Michael's Trivia Now 2.0 project presented at the Knowledge 25 conference, some classic gaming and storyline of Doom: The Dark Ages, the fun card game at CreatorCon as part of Knowledge 25, and the intersection of fun and work that gamification creates.
