1:1 with Andrey Kudievskiy - AI is replacing tasks, NOT jobs
<p>Andrey Kudievskiy–CEO of Distillery–joins us for this episode of The 1:1 Podcast.</p><br><p>We discuss the real world impact of AI, advice for software engineers still struggling to land a role in this challenging job market, and some predictions about the future.</p><br><p>Takeaways:</p><br><p>* At Distillery, integrating AI tools is making developers between 40% and 60% more productive but is not replacing their jobs. They have seen even bigger gains in generating test data (approximately 2-3x).</p><br><p>* Today’s challenging job market for software engineers is mostly due to pandemic overhiring, not AI.</p><br><p>* For engineers struggling to find a new role in the current job market, you may have skills outside the job description which can help you stand out. For example, at Distillery developers who can communicate in multiple languages may get more opportunities given the company’s multinational clients.</p><br><p>0:00 - Intro</p><p>3:27 - Onshore vs offshore vs nearshore</p><p>7:05 - Distillery's journey into AI</p><p>12:14 - Overcoming growing pains</p><p>16:52 - Generative AI hype vs. help</p><p>21:10 - Making the business case for AI</p><p>23:12 - Advice to engineers feeling stuck in this job market</p><p>26:51 - In-demand skills and upskilling</p><p>30:32 - Dealing with legacy systems</p><p>34:58 - Training sales to speak intelligently about AI</p><p>37:37 - Looking ahead 2-3 years</p><p>44:34 - Closing thoughts</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

1:1 with Casandra Minichiello - Agile is NOT dead, it’s just evolving
<p>Casandra Minichiello–Agile Coaching Senior Advisor for Cigna–joins us for this episode of The 1:1 Podcast.</p><br><p>We talk about the emotional roots of the Agile Manifesto, how Agile has been misapplied, and what it looks like when Agile coaching is done right. We also reminisce about the joy of using a physical Kanban board.</p><br><p>0:00 - Intro</p><p>2:50 - Where Agility started for Casandra (reminiscing about 2005 WebMD)</p><p>11:37 - Agile is NOT a project management methodology</p><p>14:13 - PMI / Scrum Alliance merger</p><p>15:48 - How upper management can support Agile teams</p><p>20:38 - The joys of a physical Kanban board </p><p>24:44 - Some Agile history / terminology </p><p>33:14 - Evolving Agile to work better in hybrid and remote environments</p><p>43:15 - Signs a company isn’t really Agile</p><p>45:47 - Doing Agile vs. being Agile</p><p>52:32 - Why Casandra prefers Kanban over Scrum </p><p>56:48 - Agile pet peeves</p><p>1:03:27 - One small change a leader can make to foster more agility</p><p>1:08:32 - Final thoughts</p><br><p>Takeaways:</p><br><p>* Agile is NOT dead, contrary to what you might have read on LinkedIn. But it is evolving to adapt to a software industry which has undergone many changes since the Agile Manifesto was written in 2001.</p><br><p>* Agile is NOT a project management framework, which makes the Scrum Alliance merger with PMI confusing and frustrating</p><br><p>* Kanban is the best Agile methodology for most people (sorry Scrum)</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
