    Jamie Dobson and Ian Miell debate whether ChatGPT/OpenAI is “the new Netscape,” exploring how generative AI may mark a true industry inflection point while rapidly commoditizing amid fierce competition and uncertain economics. Jamie then interviews RedMonk founder James Governor (author of *Progressive Delivery*) on token economics, hyperscaler advantages, China’s model momentum, and closes with practical guidance on winning with commodity tech through late-mover confidence, amplification of existing moats, and cheap experimentation that scales smartly. Question of the week:    Is OpenAI or ChatGPT the new Netscape? Consulting Advice of the Week:  Ian and Jamie discuss the criteria that OpenAI needs to fit to be considered the “new Netscape” and hone down on a conclusion. Interview of the week:  James Governor – Explains why ChatGPT may be a “Netscape moment,” focusing on token economics and progressive delivery.

  2. AI, Interviews, and the Talent Density Trap

    12 MAR

    AI, Interviews, and the Talent Density Trap

    Jamie Dobson, Ian, Angus, and Gustavo unpack how AI is (and isn’t) changing tech hiring—arguing that interviews should assess real working practices with modern tools, not memory tests or “code from scratch” machismo. They also share a Netflix-inspired talent-management horror story and hear from talent acquisition futurist Matt Alder on AI-driven application volume, fraud, bias, and what skills will matter most for the next generation. Question of the week:    How has AI affected tech hiring? Horror Story of the week:    Jamie Dobson recounts how companies copy Netflix’s tech but ignore talent density and leadership practices—then fail their “cloud transformation” while clinging to magical thinking and refusing to address workforce and management realities. Interview of the week:    Matt Alder – AI is breaking traditional recruiting, forcing new assessment methods, clearer policies, and a focus on flexibility.

  3. Should Autonomous AI Agents Run Your Business?

    19 FEB

    Should Autonomous AI Agents Run Your Business?

    Jamie Dobson, Chris Vermeulen, and Önsel Akin debate whether AI agents should act autonomously in organizations—arguing for conditional autonomy with strong human-in-the-loop controls, security, observability, and “read-only/shadow mode” rollouts. Jamie then interviews Adrian Cockcroft on “developers on demand,” how agentic coding changes product/platform work, and why an AI bubble may burst—making capability cheaper and more widespread. Question of the week:    Do we allow AI agents to act autonomously inside organizations? Horror Story of the week:    Customers often have an outdated, overly simplistic view of AI (chat/coding/research), missing newer agentic capabilities and therefore failing to design strong, scalable use cases. Interview of the week:    Adrian Cockcroft – How agentic AI enables “developer capacity on demand” and accelerates prototyping.
