    S3E07_1 China's Cybersecurity Regime - Critical Infrastructure Protection

    In this episode Michael and I talk about the regulations that protect Chinese networks and information systems. Two closely connected subsystems of China’s cybersecurity regime aim directly at maintaining security in these areas: critical information infrastructure (CII) and multi-level protection. - Michael D Frick holds a doctorate in Business Economics and a master’s in Modern Sinology.

    S3E07_2 Intellectual Property in China

    In this 5 minute conversation which is part of our ongoing discussion of the Chinese Cyber Security Regime, Dr Michael D Frick I discuss China’s attitude towards intellectual property. We discuss that lax IP protection in China is not only a concern for Western companies, that Chinese companies are registering huge amounts of patents, and that while IP protection has found its way into Chinese regulations, enforcement is still very lax. Michale also raises the point that around 80% of blockchain related patents are Chinese (quality notwithstanding) and that within this category many are related to cybersecurity. Ultimately Michael advises that, at least for now, a business model based heavily on IP protection is possibly not the right one for the Chinese market, as opposed to one, say, based on continuous innovation or other forms of differentiation...

    S3E6_2 Online Content Management (Censorship) in China

    In this podcast episode Dr Michael Frick, author of “Chinese Industry 4.0 Designing high-tech solutions under the cybersecurity regime of the People’s Republic of China” and I talk about Online Content Management - censorship - which is the bedrock of the Chinese Cybersecurity Regime. We discuss the Chinese approach to censorship and how it differs from the Western stance on what and how information can be presented and shared online, and why this different approach makes sense from Chinese perspective. We discuss what it means for organisations who want to do business in China, how censorship in China is governed, and the mechanisms through which it is enacted and enforced and what it means when you ‘mess up’. We talk about the fact that only 2% of Chinese internet users use censorship evasion tools and the Chinese netizens’ stance to censorship. We conclude by explaining that for the Chinese government all it comes down to is: first preserving and expanding power, second economic development. Also that for organisations who want to operate China there is no half way house, but only the decision between whether to not enter the market at all or fully comply: every organisation will have to make this decision in light of their mission and values. _ Background info The 3 T’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre https://www.amnesty.org.uk/china-1989-tiananmen-square-protests-demonstration-massacre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeFzeNAHEhU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan#Political_and_legal_status https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_independence_movement Eye roll incident https://makeagif.com/i/uDC3dz https://www.ifj.org/es/centro-de-medios/noticias/detalle/category/press-releases/article/china-two-journalists-lose-peoples-congress-accreditation-over-eye-roll.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBbv1E2wTt8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUKbt2wKfK8 _ Michael D Frick holds a doctorate in Business Economics and a master’s in Modern Sinology.

    S3E06_1 China's difficult relationship with Github

    In this 5 minute piece Dr Michael D Frick, author of “Chinese Industry 4.0 Designing high-tech solutions under the cybersecurity regime of the People’s Republic of China” and I talk about China’s difficult relationship with Github: on one hand, the intrinsic nature of open source code shared via Github - let alone the fact that Ghithub allows all sorts of other information to be shared - can easily undermine the Online Content Management (read ‘censorship’) policies which are part of China’s Cybersecurity regime, while on the other hand, access to standard libraries and the ability to collaborate on software projects is a key enabler - arguably a necessity - for most software development.

    S305 Lean Software Engineering - Luke Elliott

    In this episode software craftsman Luke Elliott and I discuss what makes great software engineering, excellent software engineers and effective teams… We argue that understanding and delivering value is really all good software engineering is about. And that engineers understanding the customer is possibly the biggest difference between organisations who deliver value and those whose don’t; and that this is best achieved by combining people who deeply understand the customers like product owners with engineers who deeply care (about value and consequently the customer). We discuss what makes high performing teams, and touch on the challenge of hiring great engineers. We make a detour chatting about the importance of TDD and Pair Programming and whether they are a cult, and why some love and some hate these practices, but why, ultimately XP practices like these ultimately the ability to deliver value at pace, reliably and sustainably. We briefly rant about TLAs and why one should always clarify acronyms (or rather not have them in the first place) and what it means, if a team doesn’t feel sufficiently safe to ask questions (and what one can do to build the needed psychological safety). We close by discussing that the art of architecture is knowing what to do now and what to defer, why David Knuth is right in saying that ‘premature performance optimisation is the root of all evil’ and what this means for startup who are in bootstrapping mode and must avoid overly early gold-plating and over-engineering while not impeding future scaling. … Luke is a software craftsman with deep experience in lean and agile software development. He believes that great software is crafted by great teams, and that building great teams is challenging and rewarding work. He has lead successful teams across public and private sector, bluechips and startups, in diverse industries including finance, healthcare and energy. He is a keen proponent of lean and agile approaches, XP and believes in CI/CD, fast feedback loops, outcome over output, and product thinking. He avoids big design up front, command-and-control management, and blame cultures. He is currently Director of Engineering at OakNorth Bank. Luke is currently hiring software engineers of all stripes and if you are interested in working like Luke describes, contact him at luke.elliott@oaknorth.co.uk.

    S304 Nurturing Micro-Moments - Nathan Ardaiz

    In this episode I chat with AlmostAnyHow’s Nathan Ardaiz about nurturing micro-moments to improve human interactions and consequently we live and work together. Specifically how micro-moments in our relationships determine the quality of our interactions and how this affects wellbeing, autonomy and resilience of individuals and ultimately teams and organisations. We start a bit ‘dark’ by talking about death - and dying well - and what trauma means for the personas we adopt as we go through our daily lives… We discuss anger, anxiety and shame when interacting with colleagues, what it means to truly listen and to understand that it’s really ‘about us’ not ‘them’. We draw parallels to code- and relationship-debt and how short feedback loops not only make successful products and services but are the basis for good interactions, concluding that “Cultures and teams that reflect and learn - those more trusting, connected, happier, adaptive, understanding and collectively owned - innovate and perform better.” We discuss why nurturing micro-moments can only be grounded in shared values and a collective vision and what individuals, teams and organisations can do to improve their interactions.

    S3E3 Compliance by Design - Tom Grogan

    In this episode I chat with Tom Grogan, CEO of Mishcon de Reya’s MdRxTech, a software consultancy and incubator with a legal edge. We discuss why building legal compliance into the product development lifecycle is ever more important in a Web3.0 world and how this can be achieved within lean and agile design and delivery approaches. We will touch on Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and Smartcontracts and why including legal considerations early and throughout for products or services built on top of such solutions is imperative. We chat about the shift from consumption to creation to ownership that led to Web3.0, and how true realisation of the potential of the ‘Metaverse’ - and maybe more drastically quantum technology once it arrives - will change our understanding of ‘property’ and ‘ownership’ and might ultimately redefine the world. Tom is Chief Executive Officer of MDRxTech. He is a qualified lawyer and has a deep understanding of a wide range of emerging technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and blockchain (and other DLTs). He has experience advising public and private sector clients on the design, development and delivery of their technology strategies and solutions.
