Episode 6

In this episode: Wayne and I discuss how the cloud is driving us to new features as we get things done faster. He also talks about how hyperscale is for Google, Amazon, Microsoft – and everybody else is going to be a second-class citizen. Later, he asks why invest in putting a million servers and data centers around the world? You could just as easily hire 5,000 developers and build an application that will make your customers so happy, they’ll never think about leaving.
