About this listen
What do The Mythical Man-Month and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance have in common with AI systems and startup architecture?
In this episode of Project Gamma, Warner Moore sits down with Pete Gordon (longtime Columbus technologist, startup CTO, and Co-Founder of CyberContext) to unpack what “quality” really means in software. They explore the value of conceptual integrity, how early feedback shapes products, the rise of GenAI in compliance, and why classic system design principles still matter in a fast-moving world.
Topics include:
Finding product-market fit in startup ecosystems
AI, identity, and access management
Prompt injection and evolving security paradigms
UI frameworks and system design tradeoffs
Why “Automated Inference” might still be a better term than “AI”
