Data is fuel, hardware is car and algorithm is the driver!! Wow

Tsunami is imminent in every sector including IT. Some people argue that there is so much clamour before every revolution but I tell you AI is different from previous revolutions because it has cognitive ability which is the main strength of human beings. Now you can imagine yourself.

For software industry to survive they need some technology hype and buzz words. We are seeing this from many decades starting with mainframe, os, Java/.net, apps, rdbms/warehouse, big data, cloud and now it’s AI and in 5 to 10 years we will hear new things, we need go with the flow and support both old and new systems..

OMG, you were in my University, I had no clue. I would have loved to come say Hi to you. Your videos have been an inspiration. Anyways, maybe next time!!!!

That was an awesome discussion. Can you please do more podcasts like this?

These layoffs started happening, in 2022, when section 174 of the tax code came in to affect. Section 174 requires all R&D salaries to be amortized over 5 years. This means that 80% of the salary, at profitable companies, is effectively double taxed. At the same time, interest rates rose, and made borrowing prohibitive. Normally, a company could just borraw the money, expense the interest, and pay back the loan over a few years, thus avoiding double taxation. So, instead they opted to move jobs to favorable tax climates (which include Germany apparently, that's where Google relocated their Python work, and the salaries are not siginificantly lowere there). Repealing Section 174 and getting inflation under control should have been a Biden administration priority. Instead, doing nothing about this for 4 years, might be just enough to cost Biden the election.

Finally an interview of a seasoned professional compared to all those half ass knowledge know it all guys interviewed before spweing garbage !
