    Enterprise Architecture: The Bane of Product-Engineering

    It emerges from a common set of conditions - and so in many ways it is an unsurprising thing to see in large enterprise. However, so-called "Enterprise Architecture", and really any software architecture that hardens into a role or department, is nothing but waste.  On this episode we discuss why that is, and what you can do about it. Like any other deep organizational wound - simply pulling the knife out isn't a great solution. Delicately and skillfully setting up your organziation so that it is no longer dependent on this antiquated solution is the path that the leader should follow. Thanks for joining us this month - please enjoy the episode!

    Is AI coming for my job?

    Join in as we discuss with Molly Jaggers the implications we face as we adopt cutting edge AI technology. A key takeaway from this episode is what the adoption implies about the most constructive behavior for members of the workforce in these turbulent days. Ultimately, it's a time of great opportunity and hope - though as in any epoch - those that are lazy or slow to change will quickly be left behind. The biggest difference now is found in the definition of "quickly" - which will be much more severe than in prior days. >> Books Mentioned in the Episode A More Beautiful Question - by Berger The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People -  by Covey Good to Great - by Collins -- Molly has spent over a decade driving revenue growth and building product marketing functions from scratch across startups and corporations. What sets her apart is her dual perspective: she thinks like a strategist but executes like an operator, bridging the gap between business objectives and engineering reality to create products and GTM strategies that deliver cohesive experiences optimized for both user emotion and business outcomes.    Today, she's an entrepreneur focused on acquiring and scaling businesses, applying her deep expertise in customer experience optimization and GTM execution to unlock growth in diverse industries. She's also the host of the Protégé podcast, where she challenges conventional wisdom around women's leadership and explores what it really takes to break through leadership barriers and bring true equity to the workplace.    Known for her radical open-mindedness, systematic thinking and constant curiosity, Molly turns strategic visions into exceptional experiences that solve real-world problems.

    Breaking Down The Monolith

    In the late 2000's the phrase "breaking down the monolith" was being uttered in every corner of the tech universe. The passion was connected to technical features like scalability and performance - even spawning a number of techniques and technologies for operating these isolated runtime components. The real win seemed to have been largely missed - the ability for teams to be separate and thus faster in their delivery. Organizations were ridding themselves of the need to coordinate all change and delivery across all teams. They were beginning to realize their potential. That beautiful awakening has stalled out somewhat - join Bob Provencher and I as we discuss the benefits and some of the tricks to bringing it freshly into your organization. — Bob Provencher is the Chief Technology Officer at PDHI, a Health and Wellness Platform-as-a-Service provider. With a career spanning software craftsmanship, cloud architecture, and AI innovation, Bob leads initiatives that bridge traditional .NET and Azure development with cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

    Remote Work

    Our guest today is Sean Merron - a seasoned software engineering leader. Together we dig into some of the unique challenges involved in remote work - a capability that has developed rapidly over the last several years. Because the expansion has been so rapid, it's useful to ask questions about its efficacy as a method for delivering software. With the agile manifesto, the idea of the superiority of in-person communication took hold. As we got experience with building asynchronously, and possibly more importantly, with the advancement of the tooling, that superiority may hold, but perhaps in a less absolute sense. Join us as we ask these questions and mine out some of the useful related techniques that come from the software development trenches.  -- With over 25 years of experience in software engineering, 17 working remotely, Sean Merron is a seasoned technology leader currently serving as VP of Software Engineering at Cloud Theory. He's also the founder of Zeal Technology, a consulting firm focused on scaling businesses through cloud-based automation and custom software solutions. Sean's career spans roles as software engineer, engineering director, CTO, and podcast host with millions of downloads. He's passionate about solving complex business problems with innovative tech, having led teams that delivered solutions for Fortune 100 enterprises and startups alike. Rooted in faith and community service, Sean brings a purpose-driven approach to leadership and innovation.

    Little Lever, Big Power

    From change management to marketing and product management, our guest Egil Østhus and I hit on a wide array of topics in our quest to understand and illuminate the humble feature flag. The idea of the feature flag is an important one because it's one of the primary supports to *actual* continuous delivery - it enables engineering teams to deliver with minimal friction. This multiplies creativity (that is to say "innovation"), the impact we're bringing to the lives of our customers, and through that, our own happiness and satisfaction with our work. While surprisingly powerful in their consequence, feature flags can - at times - also be surprisingly difficult to put into play.  Egil helps with tangible, practical advice on how to get over some of these challenges - and of course offers a powerful tool ("Unleash") that we can all immediately leverage. To start with the open source tool - or to even jump in all the way with Unleash - go to getunleash.io. About Egil -- Egil Østhus is the founder and CEO of Unleash. Unleash is the largest open source FeatureOps platform globally today, and is used by massive enterprises across the globe. Prior to founding Unleash, Egil has worked in different corporate jobs including Cisco, Accenture and Visma as an SVP. Egil is super excited about software engineering leadership and is all about building high efficiency organizations that have a lot of fun together. A fun fact: Egil holds 2 patents in the video conferencing space. When not at work, Egil loves to run and spend time with his wife and two boys, age 13 and 17.
