Nick Bilton, Lead Technology Writer for The New York Times Bits blog and a reporter for the paper, discusses his new book, I Live in the Future & Here’s How It Works. In the book, Bilton examines how technology is creatively disrupting society, business, and our brains. On the podcast, he talks about neuroplasticity and reading, a debate with George Packer about Twitter, innovators’ dilemmas in the porn industry, why many CEOs and movie producers bristle at how the future works, and “ricochet working.” He also discusses effects of combining human curation with computer algorithms, hyperpersonalization, informational veggies, and serendipity. He concludes with his theory about today’s news (and the reason he doesn’t worry about missing tweets): “If it’s important, it will find me.”

IT Conversations: Continuous Deployment
Timothy Fitz believes that it is best to use the concept of Continuous Deployment in software development. He thinks that by deploying small changes constantly, problems will appear quicker and can be solved more easily. He joins Phil and Scott to discuss the topic and how he is using it in the real world.
In addition, he also talks about the concept of Lean Startup and how it relates to Continuous Deployment. He cites a number of examples of the two ideas and discusses related work being done by others.
