  • AA200 - 20 Years in Tech: Lessons Learned
    Jan 29 2025

    In this podcast, two tech industry veterans reflect and share candid insights from 20 years of navigating the ever-changing world of tech and software development.

    Join Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Coach Om Patel as they talk strategies for recession-proofing your career, the critical importance of talking to customers, and the role leadership plays in driving organizational success.

    Come for the positive experiences, but stay for the cringe-worthy tangents - we also explore the all-too-common pitfalls of tech such as confusing utilization with progress, the prevalence of Tayloristic management, and the emotional toll of accruing technical debt.

    Whether you're at the start of your career or a 20-plus year veteran like us, we'd love to hear if our experiences are similar to your own and we hope you enjoy our discussion on spending 20 years in tech!
