This episode's guest is Jesse Alford, a former staff engineer at Pivotal Software, and the host of Radio Free XP. I've been corresponding with Jesse daily for a month or two now, and am consistently blown away by his insight into any topic I dredge up. We discuss a whole bunch of things, ranging from seriousness in job, whether entering management to drive organizational change is wise, to what you should learn from crashing prod. I have also used a compressor for the audio this time, so we move ever closer to respectability. Enjoy!

Description: In this episode, Chris Stephens, Field CTO at Appen, dives into how CDO's are navigating the world of generative AI. From setting clear expectations to driving adoption within organizations, Chris and Cindi explore the challenges and opportunities in this evolving landscape. Chris shares Appen's innovative approach to integrating humans into deep learning processes and discusses the potential of synthetic data. Plus, he shares how crucial human expertise is, in shaping ethical AI practices and touches on the impact of legislation and industry trends on AI's future.Key Moments: The Impact of generative AI on CDOs  [06:19]Appen and the excitement of generative AI [10:34]The potential of synthetic data and content curation [12:13]The importance of CDOs embracing generative AI [17:40]The early stage of generative AI and funding innovation [26:39]The importance of human in the loop [34:09]The role of legislation and industry leadership [38:46]Key Quotes: As a CDO, I think you absolutely have to figure out how to grab onto that, take ownership of it, and provide the leadership that your company needs - if you don't, then of course someone else will.  All of the challenges come on the non-technical side. Being successful in these programs is about more humanistic type skills than it is being a wizard in the technology space, in my opinion.The work that Appen does is working in support of all of these global organizations and the key is getting humans involved in these loops. Mentions: Deep learningDeep fake Synthetic data Gartner Generative AI Bio: Chris has been leading large-scale data transformations for over a decade, bringing advanced analytics capabilities to the world for 25 years.  Most recently, he served in CDO roles at GEICO, Zendesk, and American Eagle Outfitters.  Prior to that he helped lead the Data Science practice at Pivotal Software helping organizations around the world adopt modern data and software practices.  He is Field CTO and Head of AI Solutions at Appen bringing AI systems to life for organizations around the world.  He is an advisor to Insight Partners and Battery Ventures helping shape a new generation of technology and teams.  He is Adjunct Faculty at Carnegie Mellon University teaching our next generation of data and AI leaders.   He is passionate about the human side of data, transformation, and innovation.  He hails from Pittsburgh with his wife and 5 young adult children.  An avid music fan, he reminds us that, "you who choose to lead must follow."Hear more from Cindi Howson here.

Art Chang was a mayoral candidate in New York City in 2021. We discuss his campaign and the big issues facing the City of New York. He shed light on the eviction crisis, the hurdles to adopting technology in government, and the power of joining and belonging. Technology Is Culture Change Adopting technology solutions equates to culture change, which goes well beyond updating ways of working. Tech startups build things with users as their starting point and then work backward from that. Government would have to also think of the outcome for the citizens first in order to successfully use technology. It would force leaders to be engaged and figure out what citizens need instead of thinking about what the government needs. Joining and Belonging To make a difference, make a decision to join and belong. Joining together on common ground is the most effective way to make change. Being a part of a team with a shared goal will help foster a sense of belonging. Finding a common purpose is essential if we are to make an active effort to fix any problem that faces us, from increasing voter turnout to saving the planet. The Eviction Crisis In the wake of the pandemic, many people across America are facing the threat of eviction. Homelessness comes with a stark burden on our society. For example, if a student is homeless for one year, it cuts their chances of graduating in half. Government has the power to anticipate and mitigate the eviction crisis because it has access to information such as income tax returns, and could use technology to get ahead of the issue. FIND OUT MORE: Art believes the key to solving our most important problems is visionary leadership. He has worked to advance democracy through NYC Votes, to improve child welfare with Casebook, to bring universal broadband and climate resiliency to the waterfront with Queens West, and to build an onramp to the tech sector for CUNY students with CUNY TAP. Art most recently ran for Mayor of NYC in the 2021 Democratic primary based on his belief that New York City can work for everyone. Before that, his work involved creating a successful ground-up legal knowledge management program at JPMorgan Chase as a Managing Director. Prior to that, he founded and led Tipping Point Partners, a tech startup incubator that created products/companies that revolutionize work for frontline workers and the people they serve, including voter engagement, campaign finance, social services, television, publishing, fashion, e-commerce. They co-created NYC Votes, Casebook, and the CUNY Technology Apprenticeship Program. At Tipping Point, Art built a decade-long partnership with Pivotal Software, and eventually joined Pivotal to help the world's leading financial services companies with digital transformation. His 40 year work experience spans New York City's key industries and government. You can follow Art on Twitter at@achangnyc

And I think those, you know, those are the people that I think, are also worth spending time with, you know, the people that want to build something and want to make an impact out there.”“I think that's what life is all about- pushing our boundaries and trying to become the best version of yourself.

Partons à la rencontre de Audrey Neveu, aujourd'hui Staff Software Engineer chez Pivotal Software. Passionnée d'informatique depuis son plus jeune âge, mais ayant été très mal orientée au lycée, elle se rabat vers sa 2ème passion : les arts plastiques où elle rentre en prépa d'art. Rapidement, elle se rend compte que ce n'est pas pour elle et son bac en poche, elle entre sur le marché du travail et exécute divers jobs alimentaires. Après un bilan de compétences quelques années après, le déclic se fit : elle veut être développeuse ! Elle se forme à l'AFPA et acquiert un titre de Développeur Logiciel. Elle travaille presque 5 ans chez SFEIR, avant de s'expatrier chez Red Hat à Londres. Elle passe ensuite Freelance pour GeoKaps et Saagie en tant qu'ingénieure logiciel, mais l'expérience startup ne lui convenant pas, elle prend un virage et passe Developer Advocate pendant 1 an et demi chez Streamdata. Elle revient ensuite chez Saagie en tant que développeuse Fullstack et Tech Lead pendant près de 2 ans avant son arrivée Pivotal Software. À côté de tout ça, elle s'engage auprès de Devoxx4Kids (initiation à la programmation pour les enfants), Duchess-France, Jug, pour des causes qui lui sont chères. Elle parle de ses problèmes d'orientation lorsqu'elle était à l'école, de sa formation de développeur logiciel, de ses premières expériences en développement, de son combat contre le syndrome de l'imposteur, son expérience de speakeuse, de ses rencontres durant les conférences, de ses engagements auprès de Devoxx4Kids, de ses technos favorites...

We recently hosted a conversation between fiifi Founder & CEO, Theron McCollough, and Lean Startup Co. Advisor, Chris Guest, focused on Theron’s experiences working in the world of startups and his recent return to the role of an entrepreneur as he launches his new venture.  In Chris and Theron’s conversation, they discuss: - Given Theron’s background advising and investing in hundreds of startups, what insights has he taken with him as he re-enters the world of entrepreneurship? - And now that he is a player again, does he follow the advice he would have given when he was a coach? And much, much more… For more than a decade, Theron McCollough has been working in the world of startups. Fairly early on in his career — when he was working with Pivotal Software — he began to notice how Lean Startup techniques could help a business scale. And while he took note of the usefulness of testing, iterating, and failing, one of the biggest things he learned was the importance of asking customers what they think. The simple act of reaching out to the customer can be incredibly helpful and enlightening. “You would be amazed at what you find out,” Theron says. It’s one of the things that is easy to understand in theory, but Theron cautions, entrepreneurs have to put it into practice to see how it works. “Until you actually do it, you don’t understand what the struggles are,” he says, adding, “once you get in there, you realize how much information every single customer or potential customer can give you to save you from wasting time and energy.” As an added bonus, it’s also a great way to develop a customer base. If you adopt their feedback and apply it to your product or business, “they’re going to be a customer for life.” Because they’ll not only feel heard, but you’ll have created something that made their business (or life) better.

In this episode I chat with Cornelia Davis, Vice President Of Technology at Pivotal Software, about her new book "Cloud Native Patterns: Designing change-tolerant software".

Phil’s guest on this episode of the IT Career Energizer podcast is Graeme Rocher. He is a co-founder of the Grails framework, the co-author of The Definitive Guide to Grails and Project Lead for the OCI Grails team.   He has worked in the software field for more than 20 years and has expertise in Grails, Groovy, Web Development, Dynamic Languages and the Java Virtual Machine.  He was awarded Oracle’s Groundbreaker Award in 2018 and has recently been named a Java Champion.    In this episode, Phil and Graeme Rocher discuss how believing in yourself and becoming a lifelong-learner pushes you to make a real difference through the tech you work on. They also talk about the benefits of being involved in the open-source industry. As well as the future of IT and how you can tap into the latest trends to grow your career.     KEY TAKEAWAYS: (4.39) TOP CAREER TIP You need to be passionate about what you do and be a lifelong learner. Every new technology progresses in a new and interesting way. So, it is worth keeping up with what is going on.   (6.00) WORST CAREER MOMENT For many years, Graeme headed up the Groovy and Grails development team at Pivotal Software. In 2015, he and his team had to find a new home. Fortunately, they found a good one at OCI. But, the actual move was extremely stressful.   It was a worrying time. But, it taught Graeme that open source technologies are important and, therefore, robust. They don’t get abandoned in the same way commercial software does. In the podcast, he explains why getting involved in Open Source is a good career move.   (8.14) CAREER HIGHLIGHT Receiving the Groundbreaker award at Oracle Code in recognition of his contributions to Apache Groovy was a big moment for Graeme.   From a technical standpoint, it is building Micronauts.   (9.14) THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T The fact that IT is ever-changing and that the industry is becoming more diverse is exciting. This means there are so many more career paths available.   He is also excited by the possibilities Micronauts opens up. It creates the opportunity to be able to build applications in a much more efficient way. In the podcast, Graeme provides several examples of what he means.     (12.53) THE REVEAL What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? – Graeme got into programming through playing games, as a child. He started by working with QuakeC. What’s the best career advice you received? – Embrace open source. What’s the worst career advice you received? – Don’t bother investigating certain technologies. What would you do if you started your career now? – Right now, a lot of the innovation is happening in DevOps. So, there are lots of opportunities in that area. What are your current career objectives? – Progressing Micronauts so it can be used to build more efficient microservices and applications. What’s your number one non-technical skill? – Being artistic has made it easier for Graeme to think out of the box and stand out. How do you keep your own career energized? – Pushing boundaries is what keeps Graeme’s career energized. What do you do away from technology? – Graeme loves skiing, the beach, paddle boarding and spending time outdoors.   (21.28) FINAL CAREER TIP Keep progressing yourself and do not listen to the naysayers. Believe in yourself, never give up and strive to make a real difference.   BEST MOMENTS (5.01) – Graeme - “Be genuinely passionate about what you do and become a lifelong learner.” (8.04) – Phil - “Open source is always going to have a future.” (10.55) – Graeme - “The move towards more intelligent Java compilers and ahead of time compilation is going to be a big deal.” (15.30) – Graeme - “Expose yourself to new technologies and do so at an early stage.” (20.47) – Graeme - “Never accept that the solution is complete, there is always room for improvement.” (21.38) – Graeme - “Self-belief is really important. Don’t let others put you off.”   ABOUT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS Phil Burgess is an independent IT consultant who has spent the last 20 years helping organisations to design, develop and implement software solutions.  Phil has always had an interest in helping others to develop and advance their careers.  And in 2017 Phil started the I.T.

It would have been difficult to predict the magnitude of open source's role in today's platforms and the explosion of choice on offer in today's computing world thanks to its massive adoption.  On the industry side, IBM's purchase of Linux giant Red Hat this year for an astounding $34 billion has come as an even bigger surprise. The state of open source in 2018, and especially, the IBM's Red Hat purchase, were discussed during a podcast with Rachel Stephens, an analyst with of RedMonk, and Michael Coté, director, marketing, at Pivotal Software, hosted by Libby Clark, editorial director, and Alex Williams, founder and editor-in-chief, of The New Stack. Indeed, 2018 is even being touted at the “year of open source” in many circles, Stephens said. “The mega acquisitions and just tends to really validate open-source as the method of building in the future and as a viable approach for building your stack. And I think, at the same time, we contrast that with some kind of clouds on the horizon in terms of the growing tension between an ability to run an open source business in the face of cloud providers.”

This week was a damn corker. Instacart is fighting back! Zuora went public and it went well! There were other IPOs! Uber loves bikes! And what is #AllRaise? We happily had a good crew on hand to sift through the mix, including Katie Roof, myself, and Kara Nortman, a general partner at Upfront Ventures. Up top we dug into the massive new Instacart round, the completion of its Series E. The new $150 million brings Instacart's valuation to a staggering $4.35 billion, up from $4.2 billion when it closed the first $200 million of its latest round of capital. It's an incredible bet from the private markets, and we dug into it as a possible anti-Amazon bet. Moving along, it was an IPO run for the ages: Zuora went public, and it went super well for the subscription billing firm. I had a few questions about why it went so well, but, at a minimum, the company had an amazingly good run: it raised its range, priced above that range, and then popped miles higher. Not bad. Carbon Black is bringing more security equity to the public markets with its new S-1, which we spent a few minutes poking into. Sadly, who actually understands what security companies do? I don't. And finally, Pivotal Software is going public. We unpack its revenue mix and try to figure out why it thinks that it is worth what it does. Mysteries all abound! Moving along, we wandered back into the hottest region of Silicon Valley conversation: bikes scooters. The JUMP-Uber deal finally wrapped -- as expected -- and we discussed the finer points of what a scooter is and how they fit into our lives. We wrapped on #AllRaise and the fact that Kara may or may not have been on the cover of a magazine. Hit play and we'll see you all next week!

Talking about Facebook this week is inescapable, so we do, but in a rant-y kind of way. We also discuss Oracle’s plans to hire 10,000 more people in Austin, Solomon Hykes leaving Docker, and the Google/Oracle case around Java’s copyright. Listener Feedback Eric Larson says Coté is wrong there is no zen in pulling weeds.
