    New Year, New Show

    Don’t call it a comeback, but we are indeed back! It’s been roughly 9 months since we last recorded, and a lot has happened in that time. We’ve made some changes to the show and will be adjusting our content going forward, with a focus on personal experiences and community building, and a lot less political reaction content. This week, we start by exploring the impact of AI on employment, the culture of quick success, and the importance of sustainable business practices. We also discuss corporate responsibility, job security, and the role social justice should play in business decisions. And to close things out, we relive some of our best (and worst) memories from our time together at the now-infamous DZone; from the frustrations of scrum meetings and the limitations of agile development to the challenges posed by Docker's introduction in software development. (00:00:00) When We Last Left Our Heroes (00:00:58) Where Have We Been? (00:06:12) Are We In a Bubble? Yeah, We're In a Bubble... (00:19:38) What Pops the AI Bubble? (00:25:51) Most Companies Don't Play the Long Game (00:35:07) Tales from the DZone (00:43:14) The Fundamentals Don't Change (00:48:54) Getting Paid What You're Worth (00:57:43) Developer Talk We appreciate each and every one of you, and we hope you find value in this conversation. Please leave a comment on your experience with AI in the workplace, or a funny story about your workplace, and we might share it in the next episode! Stay Safe, Stay Sane, and most importantly, Stay Salty! Be sure to visit chrisandandreshow.com for all the latest content from your two favorite hosts!

    Billionaires: Should The Exist?

    They discuss the significant increase in billionaire wealth since 2000, with the total wealth growing from $275 billion to $14.2 trillion. Andre criticizes the concentration of wealth and the role of Wall Street in inflating values. Chris highlights the moral and practical implications of billionaire wealth, particularly in the context of societal needs like universal health care. Both agree on the need for systemic change rather than targeting individual billionaires.
