AI - Driven Workflow – David Hirschfield - ep 156

from The Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast · host Scott Tarcy

This week we have guest David Hirschfield, a veteran software developer and AI expert, to discuss his career and insights on technology evolution. David shares his journey from studying physics to excelling in sales and eventually founding a successful software company, which he sold in 2000. He explains the rise and fall of IEF, a tool for enterprise software development in the late 80s and 90s, and how outdated systems still impact industries like car rentals today. The conversation shifts to modern innovations like AI and alternative rental models like Turo, which offers a more seamless customer experience.   Number one tip: If you are a startup, trust yourself but don’t believe in it. If you aren’t sure how to speak to AI, ask it how you should use it.   Contact info: Website tekyz.com [email protected]   Click on info page, heard you on the podcast Email [email protected]   https://www.engineeringcareeraccelerator.com/engineeringentrepreneur The Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast is produced by Scott Tarcy, President of CADdesignhelp.com.
