Send us a text There's a true art to #greatIT and we discuss the images and prose that make for great IT artisans. In the banter segment, I ask my co-host why his people insist in backing into parking spaces. And we both had some recent AI wins that we discuss, and there's a twist on the #badIT segment - a #badITGuy that embezzled from his employer. Special appearances by Duke Nukem, Picasso, and The Phantom Dog…

Send us a text World famous wannabe astronaut Mark Rhodes drops by The Last I.T. Podcast in The World to talk about Change Management and why it is crucial to tech project success. We ponder what it is and why so many projects still don't embrace it and use it. And I have Mark rank astronaut movies and convince him (for reals) that Die Hard is definitely an astronaut movie. All over amber beverages at our local ale house. All were had by a good time!…

Shadow I.T. 48:41

16 weeks ago48:41

48:41

Send us a text Shadow IT is when a company allows other departments to view I.T. as optional. More of a suggestion. And allows them to undertake software projects or purchases, or even external IT resources with no, or very low engagement with I.T. leadership. The result? Increased costs, increased security and data loss risks, fractured architecture, duplicate solutions, manual data entry. And creating a culture of organizational disrespect. We ask ourselves, "Imagine Shadow HR. Or Shadow Ops. Or Shadow Marketing." Our examples sound ridiculous but IT leaders deal with similar ridiculous Shadow IT challenges every day. Time to put our foot down, IT leaders. Enough is enough. Plus, the CEO of Oreos stops by, and we also play "I can destroy your company for only one million dollars"…

And: - I give my review of Silo season 2, where IT still rules the cylindrical dystopian future! - I ask Darrick the existential question: Which is better, Copy and Paste or the Thumbs Up emoji reply? - We design a much-needed app for the healthcare industry. But we can't decide what color the button should be. And we discuss some AI wins and I disappoint Darrick's Personal Image Consultant. Something for everyone!…

Send us a text In this Snyder Cut edition of The Last I.T. Podcast In The World, I welcome Brian Vos whose job might just be cooler than yours (and yours is pretty darn cool). Self-driving cars - pfft. Think bigger - Brian discusses how close we are to seeing autonomous big rigs rolling down a highway near you soon. We discuss what's driving the demand for autonomous freight vehicles and learn what "Class 8" and "Level 4" mean. As well as the lengths Brian's company and his team are going to in order to address safety and regulatory compliance. In part 2 of the episode, we switch to talking about Brian's journey from Corporate IT to "Product IT". And we start off in the banter segment giving Brian "The Fox" a Dutch Animal test. Listen in!…

JP Morgan grows a heart and caps hours at 80 a week (no cap) for SOME employees. And David screams "PUBLIC WIFI IS SAFE" into the void, but also to a WSJ journalist who's still spreading old wives' tales (no offense to Old Wives).…

Darrick and David are joined by Tejal Patel and Keven Pennock to share our experiences with what the very best IT staff we've ever worked with have in common.

Dell just announced they're going to start discriminating against their own employees who work not-near a Dell office. That's right, remote workers are no longer eligible for promotions at Dell. So, we play the game "what if we replaced 'remote workers' with another group of people?" How would that sound? Spoiler alert - it sounds pretty awful.…

In a tale of woe - spoiler alert - I did not, thanks to some #badIT at my local dealership. That was bad enough, but they doubled down on some awful follow up to my mild-but-not-five-star review to answer another question "How to chase away customers with #badIT + some bad follow up". Okay, not a question but you get the point.…

In the AI Meltdown segment, they talk about how AI, before it decides to end humanity as we know it, might just save your life. And they both enjoy the new AI DJ on Spotify, although they worry about hurting his/their/its feelings. In the Big Idea Segment , Darrick takes umbrage with The Smartest Twentysomethings In The World (McKinsey) and how they think Coders should be measured and managed. David also burns his bridges with McKinsey, mostly by taking umbrage with their shoes. But they both agree that Experience > The Fancy School You Went To .…

Just to torture us. The Big Idea Segment might be The XL Big Idea Segment as David and Darrick discuss macro labor trends that could wreck business’s ability to grow and thrive if they don’t adapt. And we give some IT and non-IT advice about how to let the crisis be a crisis for your competitors, but not for you.…

Darrick is skeptical that David’s welcome at Ryan Reynold's house for the holidays, but David’s got the receipts. In the “Stuff I Saw on LinkedIn”, David and Darrick read a post with some spectacularly bad travel productivity advice. David confesses to using public Wi-Fi, never using a security VPN, and running with scissors. And they both learn the new word "shampersandt". And in The Big Idea segment, they have the classic Build vs. Buy I.T. debate and decide the worst decision is to buy (an ERP) and then build (customize the shampersandt out of it).…

Send us a text David and Darrick discuss Christmas Lights in August for...reasons. And what they miss / don't miss about working in the office (hint: a very specific sandwich). In the AI Meltdown , AI tricks a human to do it's bidding (or does it?). And somehow we end up talking about the Ship of Theseus and our genius plan for how to keep AI from destroying humanity. The Big Idea in this episode is why building-centric cyber security was a good idea 10 years ago, but not today. But a device (or identity)-centric approach is just as secure but more suited to remote work without all the firewall backhauling and packet sniffing (gross). David gets burned at the stake for suggesting that IT sometimes operates on old time religion and traditions and not on modern best practices. Plus, our subliminal marketing plan to turn you all into Like and Subscribe zombies.…
