Change That Andrea Makhlouf

Fully Remote. Hybrid. In Person. Terms that have governed the way we approach work today. What is the underlying theme behind all three? That's right, your desktop. The one tool that allows you to access the myriad of softwares available, for you to communicate and collaborate with, well, the rest of the world.

What if I told you, digital collaboration is just beginning and there may be a new way to execute digital interconnectedness. Driven by low-cost compute and changing software technology landscape, the opportunity of reimagining the capabilities of online collaboration is one thing today’s guest is set to change.

In this Episode, I meet with Thomas and Diallo of Enoki. A new software tool, aiming to make it easier for developer teams, to collaborate digitally, by providing them with a fully fledged, multiplayer desktop environment, accessible from a browser. Join us as we discuss the gap in remote work and opportunities of online collaboration, what’s next for the computer and browser technology, the future of how we interact with technology, and Enoki’s vision for a future with better communication and collaboration, set to empower developers in today’s digital age.
