Episode 239: Coté got up at 2am

We dream of video conferencing in Zoom, ask whatever happened to Big Data, discuss how little agile practices are followed despite their proven success, and contemplate the meaninglessness of Apple moving to ARM. Also, how to prioritize those early morning calls with Singapore.

Mood board:

Is that guacamole talk Amazon approved?
Why don’t you listen to a few episodes?
“What generation did they have in the Black Plague?”
I have a lot of thoughts on OmniFocus and Evernote. Note gonna talk about it.
The Timezone Tax.
We win video conferencing bingo!
Video conferencing Magic Quadrant.
Remember Blue Jeans!
They’re gonna go to The Big Data.
Hadoop: not as big as we once thought it would be.
Grocery store magazine agile.
The only thing that’s shocking, is that we’re still shocked.
