SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome back to the show. It\\u2019s been way too long. Tell us about your new company and some of the things you\\u2019ve been working on.

Topic 2 - The last time you were on it was the earlier days of serverless. Since then, you\\u2019d stayed active around serverless, but have been vocal about how the space has evolved. Where has your experience taken you over the past couple of years?\\xa0

Topic 3 - You talk (and write) a lot about only focusing on building business value. That\\u2019s a hard concept for some technologists to grasp, as they always believe there is some amount of technical debt to own. How do you communicate your perspective on this to people?\\xa0

Topic 4 - The last time you were on, we talked about thick clients and Netlify and some things that were new to us. What are some of the tools/services you really like these days?\\xa0

Topic 5 - You\\u2019re trying to re-establish the home and auto insurance bundling business. There are big names in this space. How does your technology philosophy allow a small startup to compete against very well established (and funded companies)?
