Stephen Blum
PubNub
AI is expanding in our lives like never before. How is it changing the way we approach software development for the future? In short, a ton! This week, Stephen Blum, CTO and Founder of PubNub, joins to discuss how specific tech roles will likely change as AI becomes more ingrained in the work of tech companies. Moreover, he theorizes that innovative companies won’t view AI as merely a means of shaving headcount, but will instead turn AI into a competitive edge — using real-time testing to develop applications quickly and efficiently. Join as we discuss:
Tech’s role in the future of jobs and replacing humans
Building a system to test in real-time with the market
Remote work and how work culture has evolved
A podcast for architects and engineers who are building modern, data-intensive applications and systems. In each weekly episode, an innovator joins host Tim Veil to share useful insights from their experiences building reliable, scalable, maintainable systems.
