    Episode 19: Peter Wang-Radically Reinventing Our AI North Stars

    Episode 19: Peter Wang-Radically Reinventing Our AI North Stars

    Join special guest Peter Wang and our co-hosts Ben Goertzel, Grace Robot and Lisa Rein as we take into a deep dive into what Peter means exactly when he recommends that we “Radically Reinvent Our AI Northstars.”

    Peter is the founder of Anaconda, a Dweb pioneer, a physicist an astronomer, and a board member of the Center for Humane Technology. He believes that Low-Code/No-Code platforms (LLMs) have the power to enable 96% of the population to go from ideation to creation with computers, and that will result in a tremendous increase in creativity and the ability for more people to create and innovate.

    One of the key benefits that Peter sees in this transformation is the ability for more people to engage in the creation process. So, instead of putting the pieces of a car together, we're all 3D printing Ferraris. Meaning, just as 3D printing allows for the production of complex objects without the need for specialized manufacturing knowledge, LLMs would enable individuals to create sophisticated technological solutions without requiring an extensive technical background.

    In order to realize this vision, he suggests that we need to articulate new North Stars instead of merely criticizing the flaws in the current system. By setting clear goals and envisioning a better future, we can guide our actions towards building a more inclusive and fruitful technological society.

    About Peter Wang:

    Peter Wang is the founder and CEO of Anaconda and a founder of the PyData open-source data science movement. He is also a physicist, with a degree in physics from Cornell University, and an astronomer well known for his incredible DWeb camp starry night tours.

    He is a long-time advocate for open-source software, starting with founding the Linux Users Group at Cornell in 1994. He serves on the board of the Center for Humane Technology and has been active in the Internet privacy and decentralization movement for many years.

    Waarom gaat SAP met SAP Build low-code aanbieden?

    Waarom gaat SAP met SAP Build low-code aanbieden?

    SAP heeft een breed portfolio aan enterprise IT-oplossingen. Om die oplossingen op maat te kunnen maken voor elke organisatie is het mogelijk om hier uitbreidingen voor te ontwikkelen. Om dat nog wat eenvoudiger te maken kan dat ook met low-code. SAP heeft nu met SAP Build een suite in huis met drie verschillende oplossingen die het bouwen van apps en workflows nog eenvoudiger moeten maken. Wij gaan in gesprek met Coen Sanderink om te horen wat men van SAP Build mag verwachten.

    Wie kent SAP niet? SAP staat in de markt bekend als die ene grote ERP-speler. Voorheen SAP ECC, tegenwoordig SAP S4HANA. Daarnaast heeft SAP nog veel meer oplossingen, denk aan SAP Ariba, SAP Concur, SAP CRM en SuccesFactors. We bespreken onder meer hoe al die oplossingen een rol spelen in SAP Build. Ook zijn we benieuwd hoe de relatie met Mendix is. Mendix is een grote low-code speler waar SAP al jaren intensief mee samenwerkt, maar nu dus mee gaat concurreren. Of toch niet?

    Natuurlijk gaan we ook dieper in op de drie afzonderlijke oplossingen en voelen we Coen aan de tand hoe volwassen SAP al is in low-code en wat voor klanten de beste keuzes zijn.

    Design, Code, Deploy: building apps with OutSystems low-code platform

    Design, Code, Deploy: building apps with OutSystems low-code platform

    This podcast is produced in conjunction with OutSystems.

    The big talk in enterprise software development circles is around low-code taking some of the hard work out of the development process. But there are solutions out there that are for both "citizen" and "traditional" developers. OutSystems has evolved that paradigm with high-performance low-code.

    Our Tech Means Business podcast guest is Richard Davies, the Director of Digital Transformation for the APAC region. Richard is a stalwart of enterprise-scale software development and someone whose experience informs his role, advising and helping multinational companies craft production-ready apps in record time.

    We talk about partnerships between development functions and other stakeholders and how high-performance low-code is the obvious evolution of Agile methodology, where producing an MVP (minimum viable product) takes a fraction of the time, thanks to (relatively) simple application development tools.

    While “Harry from Accounts” may not yet be able to create an ERP in a week, those days may not be too far off. But for now, Richard throws down the gauntlet: attend one of OutSystems' one-day boot camps where you can "build an app in a day" or, try the platform for free in your own time. Put your battered O'Reilly volumes back on the shelf!

    MPPC 2022 with Charles Lamanna

    MPPC 2022 with Charles Lamanna

    James and I went down to sunny (sweaty) Orlando for Microsoft Power Platform Conference (MPPC) 2022. Apart from getting to see a great set of announcements, learn a ton, and meet up with past pod-friends we also got the chance to sit down and have a conversation with Charles Lamanna — hot on the heels of his keynote address

    Join us for this Very Special Episode of Switched On, our chance to share Charles’ deeper thoughts on MPPC 2022 announcements. 

    First, our own quick thoughts on MPPC 2022:

    • James loved the enthusiasm. “Our industry is about to be turned upside-down.”
    • I had big love for the announced collaborative editing feature in Power Apps, with coauthoring. Fusion teams are even more equipped now.

    Then — in an effort to avoid falling into a nerd black hole of our own excitement — we jump to the live-on-the-scene interview with Charles. 

    IT. WAS. SO. AWESOME. 

    Here is a sprinkling of his wisdom. 

    Highlights

    • Charles loves the real-time coauthoring experience, same as me. Customers often have big development teams working on the same app — now think of it as the current Word or Excel. Your colleagues are there with you, making cool things happen quickly.
    • Power Platform as a low-code platform is interesting in its comprehensiveness. Don’t forget that you’re doing a lot more than just Power Apps.
    • James notes the Azure backdrop for Power Platform as a game-changer: “substrate”.
    • There are “no cliffs” — there’s always an escape hatch to go one layer deeper on customizing and powering up apps. You can always drop into a deeper layer of code or functionality.

    Charles Lamanna

    • Approximately 25% of Power Platform users are professional developers, and they often collaborate with non-pro devs.
    • Fusion teams, CoEs, etc — those are functionally customer innovations on top of the delivered platform.
    • 7.4 million Power Platform developers. It’s only just beginning.
    • Low-code development platforms in 3 years: 3 trends. Data [there’s a massive amount of data from every system, it’s not easy to put it all together → data poor to data rich, connectors], AI [from big data to big AI, “there will be more UI built for AI than for humans”], collaboration [all this great stuff is happening in tech — it’s still all about the people using it].
    • AI is leaking into Power Platform in ways where you don’t see or know it. It’s just there, powering things.
    • We talk about humans collaborating, in the future it’ll be humans and AIs collaborating.
    • Charles: serverless is the now-future.
    • Fun fact: Logic Apps come from an internal hackathon project at Microsoft called Wolfkrow (“workflow” backwards)

    Money Quotes

    Charles

    That’s the amazing thing about platforms: you build it, and your mind is always blown by what people are able to do with it.

    Power Platform has definitely entered the ‘flywheel is a blur’ stage…every quarter there’s a game-changing experience. [nod to Jim Collins]

    I remember in 2013 what it felt like for public cloud. It feels exactly the same way for low-code in 2022.

    Technology is what enables the feature, technology is not the feature.

    James

    Because it’s getting to a certain level of maturity it’s like…how far can we take this? The answer is: pretty far.

    Maryssa Salomon, from TravelTrunk | EP#05 | No-Code Explorers with Daniel Weinmann

    Maryssa Salomon, from TravelTrunk | EP#05 | No-Code Explorers with Daniel Weinmann

    In this episode of NoCode Explorers, we have Maryssa Salomon, founder of TravelTrunk.

    Maryssa created the app all by herself when she discovered the no-code tool Bubble. She had previously struggled a lot with hiring developers - something she shares in this interview. Her amazing attitude made Daniel call her "one of the most resilient, resourceful and unstoppable founder I have ever met". Isn't that awesome?

    Her product, TravelTrunk, came from Maryssa's own experience. Its purpose is to help people organize the financial part of traveling - especially when sharing with others. TravelTrunk helps travel partners prepare what they want to spend and split the expenses in whatever way they want. It also has the best UX Daniel has seen for a Bubble app until this episode!

    We hope you enjoy this conversation and have lots of gains for your journey.

    And remember to share your questions, thoughts, and insights with us!

    Building A Peer-to-Peer Logistics Platform For Africa

    In this episode, we are joined by Nichole Bestman who leads “Immerse” a 10 week accelerator at Bubble helping to support underrepped founders. Nichole graduated from Johnson, is a founder herself and will reflect on her journey and what impact the school has had on her career trajectory. From the scrappy market woman in Liberia, to the no-code entrepreneur in upstate Maryland, she also discusses how Bubble is helping non technical co-founders “get to market” faster with their ideas.
