    Chris Walker & Jack Smith: 15 Seconds x 1,000: Why IT Automates Everything

    Jack Smith and Chris Walker, SME's for FlexApp and Stratusphere UX, join James O'Regan to discuss the idea behind Liquidware Sparks: small, field built utilities that save real time, fast. Sparks are about less clicking, more repeatable wins, and a clear path from prototype to product. We talk about the “15 seconds x 1,000” mindset, why PowerShell still matters, and how one-button automation (like running 150 checks in seconds) helps teams move quicker without cutting corners. We also get into AI-assisted “vibe coding” reality: it speeds up prototyping, but testing and customer validation still do the heavy lifting. 00:00 - Teaser 00:33 - Introduction 00:55 - What is a Liquidware Spark? 04:12 - PowerTools for Stratusphere UX 07:24 - PowerTools for ProfileUnity  11:48 - Vibe Coding in Claude 19:11 – Where to Ask Questions and Post Ideas  19:58 - Sparks in the Works  29:50 - The Future of Sparks 32:49 - Conclusion Liquidware Sparks:  https://www.liquidware.com/resources/liquidware-sparks Discuss on our Slack Community:  https://join.slack.com/t/liquidwarecommunity/shared_invite/zt-38l4hsgk3-iqlRF1cpjdQGlvojDo1ecw Liquidware Chats is a monthly podcast hosted by James O'Regan, Product Marketing Manager at Liquidware.
