STUFF THAT FEELS UNCERTAIN OR FRAGMENTED RIGHT NOW
Transition of US political parties (regulation, leadership, reaction to the unknown, friend or foe of Silicon Valley)Stock market is somewhat bullish, but credit markets arenât alignedSocial media seems more fragmented (good & bad), so what does this do to information flows, learning, discussions, etc.Speculation is that AI LLM models are starting to plateauCloud providers arenât really talking about anything but AIVCs seem to be excited about the potential of acquisitions again, but who?Netflix canât seem to figure out streaming live TV, at least at scale - but Amazon can?FEEDBACK?

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us about your background and the areas you focus on today.
Topic 2 - I want to begin with the complexity of networking, and not just in the sense of routing, etc. Can you walk us through some of the things you have to consider, and potentially tradeoff, as youâre thinking about network design and operations (e.g. performance, security, costs, logging, troubleshooting, etc.)
Topic 3 - Usually there are many teams involved in making a large organization work. How do you collaborate across teams, and what types of technical hurdles get in the way of delivering the service? (maybe discuss logging challenges)
Topic 3a - How has the role of SRE and Network Engineer evolved as weâre now dealing with this new complexity? You have all the normal performance, high availability, observability stuff, but also things like egress costs, etc.
Topic 4 - We talked earlier about the challenge of cost management when running a large SaaS service. What are some of the ways that you explore or model costing behaviors and look to improve them?
Topic 5 - As youâre working in a single cloud (e.g. AWS), thereâs often a belief that working only in that ecosystem is the best approach, as everything is integrated or billing is simpler. How did you go about exploring alternatives that worked in your cloud, but gave you more flexibility for your services?
Topic 6 - How do you tend to think about lines of demarcation between your team, the SaaS tooling provider and the cloud provider?

SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us about your background, and then give us a little bit of background on where you focus your time at IBM these days?
Topic 2 - Developer code assistants have become one of the most popular areas of GenAI usage. At a high level, how mature are the technologies that augment developers today?
Topic 3 - Software development has an entire lifecycle (Generate, Complete, Explain, Test, Transform, Document). Itâs easy for developers to just plug in a service, but is that often the most effective way to start using GenAI in the software development lifecycle?
Topic 4 - Software developers are notoriously picky about what tools they use and how they use them. GenAI doesnât âguaranteeâ outputs. Are there concerns that if different developers or groups use different coding assistants, that it could create more challenges than it helps?
Topic 5 - What is a holistic way to think about code assistants? How much should be actively engaged with developers, how much should be behind the scenes, how much will be automated or agentic in the future?
Topic 6 - In the past, we essentially had âreal developersâ (people who wrote code) and things like Low-Code for âcitizen developersâ on process tasks. Do you expect to see code assistants bringing more powerful skills to people that previously hadnât identified as a real developer? (e.g. the great idea on a napkin that turns into a mobile app)FEEDBACK?

Topic 3 - Modernization projects have traditionally been really costly, with a low success rate. Why is now the right time to focus on this area?
Topic 4 - Iâm really interested in how MO technology works. It seems like a variation of a digital twin, mixed with some AI capabilities. Give us the big picture of how this is a different approach to modernization.

Topic 3 - What are the typical integrations with a Data Lakehouse? How are users/developers typically interacting with Data Lakehouse technologies? [The marketplace for Iceberg catalogs like Nessie and Polaris]
Topic 4 - How does an open data format like Apache Iceberg fit into the bigger picture of data lakehouses, or large scale stores of data?
Topic 5 - How does Dremio enable Iceberg? How does Dremio sit in the intersection of Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh and Data Virtualization trends all of which come from the same fundamental problem, the growing scale of data use cases.

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Give everyone a little bit about your background with a quick introduction please.
Topic 2 - You cut your teeth at Square prior to Persona, what lessons did you learn there, and how did your experience there impact what you are doing at Persona?
Topic 3 - We are, of course, seeing an uptick in personal fraud in both our personal and professional lives through identity theft and personal information leaking into the world. If someone has all the proper information, how do you identify this as a false identity?
Topic 4 - How has AI impacted all of this? I would think with the power of GenAI tools, this industry has accelerated dramatically?
Topic 5 - Do we have another arms race on our hands to identify and protect both our personal and professional lives from fraud?
Topic 6 - Is Persona a 3rd party API similar in architecture to Stripe? If Iâm an architect in an organization today and I want to get started, how would I do that?
Topic 7 - If there was one thing you wanted people to understand about this, what would it be?
Topic 8 - You have access to a lot of personal data, how is this data handled and secured?

SHOW NOTES:Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Before we jump into the legal industry and AI, letâs talk a little bit about your background. Give everyone a brief introduction.
Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod
Topic 2 - What made you focus on the legal industry? When I think of forward leaning industries that quickly adopt new technologies, I donât think of legal. What are the most common use cases?
Topic 3 - Tell us a little bit about the tech behind the scenes. Do you use foundational models and then fine-tune them? Do you have your own custom models? What are your thoughts on the current state and future of models for specific industries or verticals?
Topic 4 - Legal is a highly regulated space; how do your customers (law firms) think about data security and compliance? Tell everyone a bit about how all of this works.
Topic 5 - Do your clients use RAG for custom information that needs to be brought into the models? How does all of that work for customer data?
Topic 6 - When I think about legal, I think about two big areas. We covered compliance and the financial side of this, but what about the billing and financial side? How is ROI on legal AI calculated? Where and how does a legal AI help? Is this measured in hours saved, which translates into dollars saved?
Topic 7 - Letâs close by discussing the people aspect. We keep hearing AI is going to take everyoneâs jobs away. What are your thoughts on how this supplements vs. replace staff?
FEEDBACK? -
Back from some recent travel, we look at why itâs important to listen to people from around the world to understand the differences between how global regions adopt technology.
