TEC Talks

Today, Christina talks with David Koontz about what it’s like to be a senior software engineer.

You may have noticed this episode isn’t quite up to TEC’s usual quality standard. That’s because it wasn’t recorded at podcast studio in ACSL, so all you podcasters out there consider this a lesson: Come to the lab and record your podcast for free in the actual studio!

Today, Chuck speaks with Jordan Andersen, co-director of Hermit Tech, whose team members are responsible for a few recent viral articles which can be read on one of their co-director Nikhil’s blog here.

Topics include the typical TEC Talks format with a few essential questions about what it’s like to be in Jordan’s shoes, and then Chuck and Jordan have a fun discussion about how AI can often get overhyped, overpromised, and oversold.

A discussion with national political consultant and co-host of the Breaking Battlegrounds podcast Sam Stone on why lawmakers on all levels, from municipal government to Congress, just don’t seem to grasp what tech is, what it does, or how to regulate, govern or legislate about it. This is a nerdy, nuts-and-bolts discussion of tech policy and governance, not a political debate episode.
