Not Rocket Science Sean Culley

In this episode, we are back at the rents' house to get out of NYC while this pandemic is happening. Instead of reviewing how people are losing their jobs left and right and all of the other horribleness we are collectively hearing every day, we decided to dive into how this pandemic is affecting companies that are essential businesses. We review types of problems that can occur even when there is a healthy demand for their products and services and how the federal government's approach to handling the economy is affecting these types of businesses.

We also dive into how the government's neglect towards their tech stack that powers their internal databases has them scrambling to find programmers for a language that is now 40 years out of date and was considered a fossil a long time ago. We highlight how this massive amount of tech debt is slowing down the ability to get your stimulus check and how these kinds of ridiculous circumstances are, in actuality, not that surprising. All that and more on the latest episode (sorry in advance for the poor mic quality).

On this episode we dive into just how long we think this pandemic is going to happen by outlining the three most popular scenarios presented in most articles these days, and explaining which one we think is most likely to occur. We also break down how this is going to affect common occurrences like going to bars and other social gatherings moving forward, and how long it will be until major gatherings like festivals and sporting events can put on live shows again. We also look at the UFC’s interesting approach towards dealing with this crises since they are still dead-set on having a live PPV event in the next couple of weeks. All that and more on the latest episode!

In this episode, we dive into one of the secondary problems that have arisen since the outbreak of COVID-19 which is the unexpected strain on internet bandwidth around the world that internet service providers are currently enduring due to everyone staying home. Of course, the biggest bandwidth hogs, video streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, HBONow, Youtube, etc. are getting more usage than ever and the increase in bandwidth usage is getting the FCC involved in tackling this problem. We review all of the data being released, dive into the conflict of entertainment based streaming versus work-based services like Zoom and Google meetings and what ISPs should do to help resolve the problem.

On this episode, we continue to discuss the business impact of the current coronavirus pandemic and how it will particularly hit the world of social media influencing harder then ever. Without the ability to book photographers, travel and take high-quality pics of drinking coconuts under a waterfall in Costa Rica, we speculate how “influencers” on social media platforms like Instagram will change and whether there will be a shift back to bedroom DIY creativity that once made platforms like LiveJournal and Tumblr have their moments in the sun once upon a time. We also discuss how this situation impacts brands that rely heavily on social media marketing and influencer brand deals and whether they still would want to budget for social channels anymore. Basically the world of business, tech and culture have been flipped upside down and we are here to break it all down!

On this episode, we dig into how the entire world has been currently flipped upside down with this COVID-19 outbreak. This episode is dedicated to providing both general thoughts to how it has directly affected New York City so far and whether residents are taking the spread seriously or not. In addition, I provide a little more insight in how it is affecting certain businesses such as online grocery, who are being swamped with demand during this time, as someone who works in the industry. We also analyze how how technological pursuit’s like Google’s sister company, Verily’s Project Baseline, which was announced as a service to pre-schedule COVID-19 tests folded as bad as the Nike App during an Travis Scott Jordan drop due to the absurd amount of demand. Overall, this episode is dedicated to summarizing the overall craziness currently at the center of the world’s attention. If you are self-isolating like us, check out the latest episode, giving a glass-half full perspective on this thing that hopefully eases your mind a bit!
