With a large enough lever, you could move the world. Technology is that lever. Progress is the fulcrum. Where we go is up to us. Chaos Lever is a weekly, tech news podcast dedicated to tracking new and emerging trends in the enterprise IT landscape, and figuring out why they are terrible.
Chris Hayner
Ned Bellavance
Ned and Chris explore the curious origins of everyday tech terms, like ‘download’ and ’log in,’ and how they became part of our digital lives.
Ned pontificates about the premature announcement of Open Core’s death, Chris is incensed by Facebook (again), and we all sigh heavily about hardcoded passwords.
Chris argues for pervasive, specialized clouds in a hyperscaler world. Ned fetches FIDO keys. And we once again lament the inevitable Muskination of Twooter.
Ned gets in his feels about DevOps, Chris maligns Elon’s good name, and we both agree the Star Wars prequels are trash.
Live? from Cloud Field Day 14, Chris and Ned talk about AIOps limitations, illogical air gaps, and the hypercloud (you’re welcome Stephen).
Unconscious and uncaring AI will come for us all. IE is undead. And Musk continues his hot streak of being an ass.
Ned helps you to manifest your inner developer. Chris argues with himself over USB-C. And Gartner once again states the glaringly obvious.
Hey Google, find me browsers that respect people’s privacy. Zero results found? Ouch. Also, Seth Green is being a weenie about NFTs. And layoffs serve as a friendly reminder that companies are not your friend.
We take a moment to reflect on VMware’s past, present, and future given the Broadcom acquisition. Ned is furious about Chris’ distaste for cake. And we all agree WSL on Windows Server is silly.
