    Ep 241 - Stephen Barr on Community, Cloud Costs and Complexity, and Ethics of AI

    Ep 241 - Stephen Barr on Community, Cloud Costs and Complexity, and Ethics of AI

    Stephen Barr is someone whom I've long sought out as a guest. He's been a real inspiration on how he connects people and technology with a fanatical focus on finding the right answer over being right. 
    Stephen works with his team at CloudFix to solve for cloud cost and complexity, and through his work there and over the years in academia and the tech industry, he's collected a lot of knowledge which he shares with everyone. It was a great chance to dive into a lot of topics and we also nerd out about audio/video because Stephen has that among his many talents.
