Carbon Copy
January 03, 2022 03:45 - 5 minutesWhen I left my job at Amazon, I was ready to put everything into my podcast business. I had $15k in a bank account, and I figured that would be enough to sustain me to my first podcast ad sales for Software Engineering Daily. Fast forward three years, and my podcast was making enough money to keep me alive. I was proud to be establishing myself with a self-sustaining business owner. It seemed like I had made the right decision to leave my job and strike out on my own. I wrote this song “Carb...
Go That Far
January 03, 2022 03:38 - 5 minutesThis pandemic has been hard for everyone. For me, the struggle has been psychological. At the beginning of the pandemic, I had a breakdown that has been hard to recover from, despite my best efforts. Over the last six years, life as a full-time podcaster and entrepreneur has taken a toll on me. I’m not sure what exactly triggered my breakdown, but there were many likely causes. Stress, broken relationships, a constant struggle to try to make my software startups work. I broke down, and I ne...

November 02, 2021 12:15 - 30 minutesMicrosoft retakes the enterprise software market through Kubernetes, GitHub, and Linkedin. Editor’s Note: Upon publication, this article failed to properly disclose the connection between its author, Bob Zeidman, and Microsoft Corp., a key subject of the story. Mr. Zeidman is currently retained by Microsoft as an expert witness in Motorola Mobility v. Microsoft. IEEE Spectrum regrets the omission.

My Poker Career (Chapter 2)
October 31, 2021 14:03 - 55 minutesThis episode is a continuation of My Poker Career (Chapter 1). I lacked creativity for most of my Poker career and made money as a copycat forums-reader. The first time I made the jump to $10/$20, I ran good for a couple days, and then got overconfident. I played Straate six tables of heads-up and lost something like $20,000 in a session. I was playing at Austin Java, a delicious restaurant/coffee shop, on my $300 shitty computer that turned off whenever it got unplugged. Straate was so merc...
Wellcome Leap: COVID-19's Most Opportunistic Beneficiary
October 31, 2021 11:34 - 1 hourIn today’s episode, I explain how Facebook’s information cordon led to the viability of Wellcome Leap’s injection-based therapeutics platform. The pandemic has normalized us to routine injection. This routine injection presents a platform for Wellcome Leap to deliver therapeutics such as psychiatric drugs and cancer prevention treatments. Is this bad or good? Personally, I like the option of new drugs. But having a plethora of innovative mRNA-based treatments developed in an atmosphere of h...
My Poker Career (Chapter One)
October 30, 2021 13:30 - 35 minutesI played online Poker nearly every day from the age of 15 to 18. When I started, I had several years of competitive Magic: the Gathering under my belt, so I understood the systematic process of learning a card game. For a brief period, I played both Poker and Magic competitively. After barely missing the top 8 elimination cutoff of a high-level Magic event, I began focusing all of my energy on poker. This came at the expense of school, health, and proper socialization. I had zero interest in...

Facebook's Anticompetitive Cloud Tactics
October 29, 2021 20:01 - 12 minutesFacebook owns its own infrastructure. When Facebook acquired Parse, it could have dominated bottoms up developer cloud. Instead, Facebook mysteriously killed the popular cloud service. Could this possibly have been because Mark Zuckerberg is good friends with Bill Gates, who has significant ownership in Facebook via Microsoft, which owns a competing cloud provider? If so, this would constitute anticompetitive action involving Microsoft and Facebook. Related episodes: Facebook Parse Acquis...

Facebook Supports Chinese Concentration Camps
October 29, 2021 12:33 - 8 minutesI’m not Jewish. I am tangentially affiliated with the Jews, as I went to Hebrew school, and I was Bar Mitzvah’d (“do it for the money” as my mom demanded when I tried to protest my forced Bar Mitzvah). But there is one Jewish thing I can get behind: the “no concentration camps” movement. This movement was started in the early 1950s, and is often celebrated with 2 words: “Never again”. In the 1950’s, we decided as a global society that we would never let a massive, world-leading power use co...
