SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Before we jump into Deepgram and Voice AI, let’s talk a little bit about your background and then what led you to start the company.
Topic 2 - Let’s start by stepping back and looking at the bigger picture. Many of us have interacted with voice technologies, from Siri to Alexa to various call-center “agents”. From a maturity perspective, where are we in terms of voice-centric interactions with computing systems?
Topic 3 - When businesses think about including computer-aided voice-centric interactions to their applications, what’s the typical thought process for where it makes sense to the business, how it represents their brand, etc.?
Topic 4 - How does Deepgram bring Voice AI to applications? What do developers have to think about when adding Voice AI to an existing application, or to think about building a voice-centric application from the start?
Topic 5 - What are some of the most common use-cases when Voice AI adds new value to the application? What areas are starting to push the edges of possible?
Topic 6 - How do companies usually go about collecting user-feedback about the voice-centric interactions?
Topic 7 - If you look forward a year or two, where do you see Voice AI types of technologies evolving?

Modern applications require modern platforms and team collaboration to deliver velocity, stability and security. So how do we overcome the hurdles to making platform adoption work?

SHOW NOTES:
MAILBAG QUESTIONS:
Topic 1 - At this stage of the GenAI era, obviously the “picks and shovels” are winning (e.g. NVIDIA). But beyond that, are there obvious winners and losers, or areas that look more promising?
Topic 2 - In the near-term or long-term, do you think there will be big differentiation in the LLM models, or do they eventually commoditized?
Topic 3 - There is some talk that Amazon (&/or) AWS are behind in GenAI, but obviously they are ahead with cloud. Do you think GenAI offerings will be enough to get companies to move clouds, or will it just be another cloud workload and companies already use multiple clouds?
Topic 4 - Do you have any thoughts about how GenAI (or any AI) will impact IT architectural thinking over the next couple of years?
Topic 5 - Do you think the recent rounds of layoffs, or slow downs in hiring, will have a big impact on IT organizations?
Topic 6 - What happens if GenAI doesn’t turn out to be as successful as so many people are forecasting? What happens to all the other potential technology innovations while that plays out?
Topic 7 - If you were advising someone on a tech career choice in 2024, what type of guidance would you give someone?
Topic 8 - DevOps had a long run as “the IT cultural change” for a while. Do you see any of the other tech/culture trends starting to get more popular (FinOps, Platform Engineering, MLOps, etc.)?
FEEDBACK?

Since the GenAI era took off, most of the discussion has been about AI in the public cloud. But is there a market for AI in the Private Cloud as well?

SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Before we dive into all things MacStadium, give us a little bit of your background, as well as some of your focus areas as CTO of MacStadium
Topic 2 - Everybody I know has an iPhone, and so many people use a Mac (or iPad) as their daily computing device. Help us understand the breadth of companies that use Macs for the backend of their application environments?
Topic 3 - We spend a lot of time focusing on DevOps and the things people do to run cloud environments. Honestly, it’s a mess of all sorts of tools. Apple has always made the complex seem simple. What does Mac-centric DevOps look like?
Topic 4 - We know (mostly) where cloud-provider responsibilities stop and customer-responsibilities start in places like AWS. Does that change much in MacStadium?
Topic 5 - You are/were the creator of Orka, virtualization for Macs. Walk us through the basics of how that works, and it seems like it would be extremely powerful when looking at CI pipelines.
Topic 6 - What are some of the best ways that companies take advantage of MacStadium?

In technology, we’re afforded many freedoms that enable us to work, live and play in new ways. But it’s important to reflect on technology freedoms and how they might change in the future.

SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome back to the show. It’s been a couple of years since the last time you were on. Great to have you back. For anyone that didn’t listen to that show, or doesn’t know you, give us a quick update on your background.
Topic 2 - Let’s begin by talking about the Web Assembly community and the work around the open source project. Where does it stand today, what are the main focus areas?
Topic 3 - Fermyon delivers WASM as a PaaS platform and is focused on “serverless” delivery for applications. You’ve got a background in PaaS; what lessons have we learned about PaaS and what’s changed over the years?
Topic 4 - A couple years ago, Web Assembly (WASM) was on the short-list of “Hot” topics at KubeCon, even though it just launched. Fast forward to 2024, and it feels like it’s hard to get visibility on anything that isn’t called AI. How is WASM navigating the CNCF communities these days?
Topic 5 - WASM has an interesting relationship with Kubernetes. How do you think about the relationship? What do people get right, and what do they keep getting wrong?
Topic 6 - What are some of the interesting use-cases people are using WASM for thess days?
