Yes, but FASTER
by Alex Maghen
For around 250 years I’ve been building digital products and technologies in the Entertainment, Community, and Marketing spaces. I’ve had wonderful experiences in senior executive positions at Warner Bros. and MTV Networks, huge successes at startups like Grindr — and then there was CTO at Myspace… a super-tough experience, yet even that one was a tremendous source of learning, and amazing people.

[002]: Clippy Strikes Back (How Can/Should AI Replace Your Application?)
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has predicted the "death of SaaS" due to AI Agents. AI is a huge leap forward for achieving the customization and anticipation that has always been the holy grail of applications and web sites. But it is NOT - nor should it be - a mechanism for replacing tools that humans use to make selections and give commands. In this episode I provide from guides for how AI should - and should not - insert itself into these interactions. And yeah, I know “Should I trust Alex or Satya?” I dunno, I’ll leave that up to you. :)

[001.1] – AI Coding Bonus Note
Coding is about precision. Natural language is not. Coding assistance from AI platforms is brilliant - an incredible thing. End-to-end project development using AI seems quite another. While these platforms are capable of building something “complete,” the amount of English-language “definition” that goes into getting something out the other and that even approximates your goals starts to look just like a very verbose, English-language version of true coding - only far less precise. Is it worth it? At this moment I’d say, not yet.

[001] AI for Coding (What else did you do while you were opening the pod bay doors, Hal?)
AI Coding Platforms like Microsoft’s CoPilot, Google’s Vertex, Chat GPT, and many others have achieved incredible things assisting software developers as they code and even building complete software solutions based on requests from relatively low-tech users. The stuff is amazing. As a senior tech manager how should you use it? How should you not? What will it mean to the future of tech organizations?
