  • Calculus of IT - Episode 39 - 11/13/24 - "IT Tropes That Will Never Die" - Part 2
    Nov 18 2024

    Join Nate and Mike in the final episode of Season 1, episode 39, of The Calculus of IT Podcast as they continue discussing various IT practices and policies that many believe should be left behind. Plus, we spend more time discussing NotebookLM (the future of all that should be GenAI) and the usual banter.

    We will return for Season 2 in early January, so we hope to see you there. We have a big season, and we will tackle pressing topics like unstructured data management and the cultural shifts brought about by AI advances. All of this will be centered around the key theme of Season 2, which will be the loss of autonomy in technology and how we, as IT Leaders, will deal with it.

  • Calculus of IT - Episode 37 - 10/29/24 - "The Individual Loss of Autonomy and its Effect on IT" - Part 2
    Oct 30 2024

    In episode 37, our antepenultimate episode for Season 1, we dive into Part 2 of the "Individual Loss of Autonomy and its Effect on IT." In our previous episode, Episode 36, we explored the first three of six primary ideas:

    1) We reset the stage and context for the individual autonomy crisis
    2) We discussed how the individual loss of autonomy is now very closely mirroring a lot of what is happening in corporate IT
    3) And we covered the net effects on leadership and strategic decision-making that come about as a result of this mirroring effect

    It's a big lift, and we did our best to get into it. This week, we built on those ideas and went a step further covering:

    4) The Sovereignty paradox
    5) How we are becoming conditioned towards strategic responses
    6) What does the future look like for this, and how might we slow it down?

    We left some questions open and will return to the primary themes of last night when we kick off Season 2 on January 8th.

    For the season's next and final two episodes, we will cover "IT Tropes that Won't Die and Why We Love Them." Hope to see you there!
