Today we're joined by Greg Fahey, General Manager and Associate Head Coach of Hampton University's Men's Basketball team.Greg's basketball journey began at Marist College, where he served as a manager for the men's basketball team while earning his degree. From there, he dove into coaching at New Jersey powerhouse St. Benedict's Prep, moved to the Division III level at FDU, and gained grassroots experience on the EYBL circuit with the Albany City Rocks.He later joined Ed Cooley's staff at Providence, then took on multiple roles at Siena College, eventually reuniting with Coach Cooley at Georgetown as the Special Assistant to the Head Coach.Greg is now entering Year 2 at Hampton, adding to his responsibilities with the newly minted title of General Manager — a role that reflects the growing evolution of college basketball programs and how they operate behind the scenes.He's coached at nearly every level of the game, giving him a unique 360° perspective on what it takes to build, sustain, and evolve a successful program.Greg also hosts his own podcast and recently launched a newsletter, both offering thoughtful insight into leadership, culture, and the business of college basketball.

In this episode of The New Stack Podcast, hosts Alex Williams and Frederic Lardinois spoke with Keith Ballinger, Vice President and General Manager of Google Cloud Platform Developer Experience (GPC), about the evolution of agentic coding tools and the future of programming. Ballinger, a hands-on executive who still codes, discussed Gemini CLI, Google's response to tools like Claude Code, and his broader philosophy on how developers should work with AI. He emphasized that these tools are in their “first inning” and that developers must “slow down to speed up” by writing clear guides, focusing on architecture, and documenting intent—treating AI as a collaborative coworker rather than a one-shot solution. Ballinger reflected on his early AI experiences, from Copilot at GitHub to modern agentic systems that automate tool use. He also explored the resurgence of the command line as an AI interface and predicted that programming will increasingly shift from writing code to expressing intent. Ultimately, he envisions a future where great programmers are great writers, focusing on clarity, problem decomposition, and design rather than syntax. Learn more from The New Stack about the latest in Google AI development: Why PyTorch Gets All the Love Lightning AI Brings a PyTorch Copilot to Its Development Environment Ray Comes to the PyTorch Foundation Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's just a different environment up there. What kind of, uh, repairs have you been working on this year?  Alex Fournier: Uh, really busy. Been some, uh, doing some transfer crack, open window and lighting damage, VGs, installation, polytech, erosion, uh, all that kind of stuff from road access on platform. Um, so we been pretty busy. Yeah. What parts of Canada are you focused on right now? Uh, at the beginning of the season we trying to focus on Quebec 'cause the temperature is getting colder faster. Um, so usually we start with Quebec and then we're making our way up west. So right now our blade season is pretty much done in Quebec, [00:01:00] so now we're focusing in Ontario. Uh, Ontario have way better, uh, temperature right now in Quebec. It might be around 15 to 20 degrees up north. Versus in Ontario that right now it's around 22, 25 degrees Celsius.  Joel Saxum: Celsius being the big thing there. Right.

There's some  Alex Fournier: site that, there's still some snow in May. Um, but, uh, if, if, if we're in a. Nice area. It can be from, uh, April, may to September, October, November. You're really pushing it. I think if, if you want to do, uh, blade work in November and que back, you need to have like a 360 platform with the heater and uh, and closed platform. Which we don't have yet,  Joel Saxum: but yet, [00:02:00] yet is an interesting concept there. You say we don't have that platform yet, but that kind of points to the eTech. Uh, I mean, of course. Congratulations. A new, new role over there I think, clue us in on that. What is the new role?  Alex Fournier: So it's general manager, so right now I'm taking care of the whole company, which is either composite or maintenance. Um, I'm doing boat. Um, so if you have any requests either on composite or maintenance and Quebec or candidate, just let me know. But yeah, when I first started I was, uh, director of composite operation and then, uh. Climbing at the ladder to turn on Azure. Now  Joel Saxum: what it makes sense is eTech is, uh, expanding, you know, strategically expanding services. Right? So you guys, uh, of course when we were talking with you and you joined the team there, you had a composite. So we, they just, this is your first big blade season. Sounds like it's gone very well. Um, but the eTech is a company does a lot more than that. You off air, you're clueing us in on some of the really cool things you guys are doing.

When leadership breaks down, processes fall apart fast. But rebuilding doesn't start with systems. It starts with people.In this episode of Maximum Octane, Kim Hickey and Jason Patel sit down with Chris Darmody, General Manager at Graham Auto Repair, to explore what it takes to turn around a struggling organization. When Chris joined the shop, leadership gaps, inconsistent processes, and fading accountability had left the team adrift. Instead of walking away, he leaned into the fire.Drawing on 22 years of experience in the automotive industry, Chris shares how he reignited the culture at Graham by focusing on empowerment, accountability, and communication. He explains how creating structure through SOPs, while keeping the shop's personality intact, rebuilt trust and consistency, and why real empowerment means giving people both the freedom and the authority to lead. Kim and Jason also draw powerful parallels between diagnosing car issues and diagnosing leadership problems, showing how the same mindset of testing, learning, and refining can transform both people and performance.Tune in to episode 129 of Maximum Octane if you've ever inherited a broken team, felt stuck in the weeds, or wondered how to rebuild trust after disruption.

What happens when simplicity meets AI on the world's biggest tech stage? In this episode, recorded live at GITEX Global in Dubai, I sit down with Sohaib Zaheer, Senior Vice President and General Manager at DigitalOcean, to talk about how the company is staying true to its founding vision of accessibility and simplicity while entering the age of AI. For years, DigitalOcean has been known as the cloud that “speaks the language of builders,” empowering developers and startups to innovate without unnecessary complexity. Now, with the launch of its Gradient AI platform and Cloudways Copilot, the company is bringing that same philosophy to AI development, helping teams go from idea to production-ready agents without huge DevOps teams or fragmented toolchains. Sohaib explains how DigitalOcean's unified stack is making AI agent development faster, easier, and more transparent. We discuss the startling statistic that 95% of AI projects never make it past the prototype stage, and explore how Gradient AI aims to change that through agent templates, debugging tools, and built-in guardrails. We also look under the hood at AI inferencing, GPU optimization, and why performance and cost efficiency still matter as much as cutting-edge innovation. If you have ever wondered how AI can become truly accessible, or how simplicity might just be the next big breakthrough, this conversation offers a grounded, real-world perspective from one of the most down-to-earth leaders in cloud technology. Recorded live on the show floor at GITEX Global, this episode is a reminder that great tech is not about hype, it is about helping people build, test, and create with confidence.
