203: What is Ancient is New

IoT Coffee Talk

Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #203 where we have a chat about all things IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter.
This week, Pete, Rob, Eric, Aaron, David, Leonard, Stephanie, Marc, Dimitri and Bill jump on Web3 to talk about:
* BAD KARAOKE: "Free-form jazz ensemble", Pete
* Mama, don't tell your kids to become coders!
* Why a career in music just might be better than coding. At least Gen AI can't generate good music!
* Sports update from the 90s with the IoT Coffee Talk crew
* April Fool's Day is not the same in an age of everyday nonsense!
* Why didn't Wordperfect win out?
* Know your customer. They may not be who you think or are dealing with today.
* Why closed wins and open is not all that open.
* The price of "open", bloatware
* Open is the only way to survive? Is it the future?
* To standardize or not standardize?
* The secret is abstraction, but who is good at it?
* Standards are customer driven, dummy!
It's a great episode. Grab an extraordinarily expensive latte at your local coffee shop and check out the whole thing. You will get all you need to survive another week in the world of IoT and greater tech!
