“After 20 years of working in IT (not in Silicon Valley or in the cutting edge field of AI) I’ve become cynical and jaded. I’ve worked under managers that unquestioningly buy into the latest hype and trends. They all know better than the developers at the coal face despite in many cases, never having coded in their lives. I’ve had to deal with the consequences of their decisions. Nothing is learned, management changes and the cycle continues. I think this is pretty common in large IT companies. In this podcast, Ed articulates how I feel much better than I could. That’s what I like about it. There’s a lot of rhetoric which can feel a bit performative so I can understand why some negative reviews - especially when listeners disagree on the views expressed but for me that’s the appeal of the show. I listen during my working day and for a while, I feel a bit better hearing someone who’s on my side have a good rant.”
