CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCAST: "CLOUDCAST BASICS" SHOW NOTES: DeepgramTopic 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?

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.)?

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.

For the few listeners out there who might not be familiar, give everyone a quick intro and your background with Docker and containers prior to Dagger. Topic 2 - Dagger has been around for a few years, coming out of stealth in 2022. If I understand Dagger correctly, it is a declarative model to abstract away CI/CD pipelines. What problem are you trying to solve? Topic 2a - Anytime you add an abstraction layer, you potentially add overhead and complexity. What are your thoughts on this? Topic 3 - Let’s go back to containers quickly. How has Containers as an “industry” changed over the years? How does that relate to what you are trying to do with Dagger? Topic 3a - What lessons learned from Docker and even back to dotCloud days do you want to bring forward with Dagger? Topic 4 - What metrics are organizations using to measure the performance and success of Dagger implementations? Is it velocity (number of deployments)? Reduction in friction? Topic 4a - I get the advantage on the Dev side of DevOps, what’s in it for Ops? Topic 5 - Dagger has three components, Dagger Engine, Dagger Cloud and Dagger SDK.

We’ve been friends for years, and it’s great to get you on today! We will discuss everything at the top of CIOs' minds today. Why don’t you give everyone a quick background on how you became known as the CIO Advisor? Topic 2 - Before we go into trends over the last few years. Put everyone in a CIO mindset. What do they care about? How do they think about the intersection of technology and business? What keeps them up at night? Topic 3 - We’ve heard many times CIOs have to balance two things: keeping the lights on (the boring side of the business that is often undifferentiated, and the innovative side that often moves the needle. A CIO’s job is to minimize the former and maximize the latter. Do you agree? How accurate is that statement? Topic 4 - I’ll follow that up with a real-world example many organizations might be facing, one we’ve discussed on the show in the past. We’ll discuss VMware on one end of the stable, the keep the lights on model, and AI on the other end as an innovative technology that could differentiate. Let’s talk about VMware first… Topic 4b - Now the other end of the spectrum, AI. Have we reached peak AI washing and craziness? Is the trough of disillusionment coming? How should a CIO think about it? Topic 5 - Let’s talk about economics over the last few years. Zero-interest money has gone away for VCs and startups and we are seeing some big changes on the vendor side. How does this impact the people you talk to?

Give everyone a quick background on your time building open-source communities and a bit about your foundation. We’ll dig into both areas today. Topic 2 - We caught up at All Things Open last fall. You gave a fascinating talk on using AI tools to accelerate the building of OSS communities. Give everyone the backstory on how that topic and presentation came to be. Topic 3 - This may be a dumb question, but DevRel is (still) all the rage. What is the difference between the approach to building OSS communities and the straight-up DevRel teams? How is success tracked in each? Are there solid metrics, or is it “fuzzy”? Topic 4 - Sadly, as far as I can tell, the session wasn’t recorded. But, for me, the big takeaway was how much dabbling you were doing with the tools and your good and bad experiences. I learned a lot from a practical aspect. But, the AI industry and tools are moving so fast. What’s in your toolbox today and why? Topic 5 - What are some of the gaps in the tools today? What’s missing?
