Description
In this reissued episode (AKA the over-overhyped edition), Ned is pedantic about the term Supercloud, Chris is pedantic about everything, and we both think Halo Rise is a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
Supercloud is as Supercloud Does
Ned is no longer a stickler for language, but he still can't stand the term “supercloud.” In this reissued episode, we break down this term that’s been kicking around since 2016 in various guises. Ned regales us with tales from his analyst days and the dubious connection between analyst firms and the supercloud. He and Chris dissect the latest buzzword definition and ask the burning question: is "supercloud" just marketing drivel? Spoiler: yes, and a contradictory one at that.
