Gen Z slang is rife with new words like "unalive," "skibidi" and "rizz." Where do these words come from — and how do they get popular so fast? Linguist Adam Aleksic explores how the forces of social media algorithms are reshaping the way people talk and view their very own identities.

In this episode, host Damien Filiatrault sits down with Robin Hanson—associate professor of economics at George Mason University, former AI researcher at Lockheed & NASA, and author of The Age of EM —to explore what happens when the worlds of software engineering and economics collide. What you’ll learn Software rot vs. technical debt – why Hanson thinks “systems rot” is the overlooked force that eventually dooms large code-bases, and how refactoring only delays the inevitable. Elastic demand for code – an economist’s take on why AI-powered developers may earn more , not less, as automation drives the price of software down and demand way up. Population decline & shrinking innovation – a provocative forecast that a falling global population (possibly peaking ~30 years out) could sap economic growth and leave vast layers of today’s software stack unfunded. Cultural drift and long-lived systems – lessons from languages, legal codes and corporate lifecycles on why some structures “rot” slowly—or not at all. Memorable sound bites “One of the key issues in software engineering is that systems rot —and in the end we usually just throw them away.” – Robin Hanson “If AI makes you ten times more productive, your wages should go way up , because the world’s appetite for software is almost limitless.” – Robin Hanson “Older firms rot : half the S&P 500 wasn’t on the list 20 years ago. We keep replacing them, so society stays healthy—software may need the same treatment.” – Robin Hanson Episode Resources: Robin Hanson’s Website Robin Hanson on LinkedIn Damien Filiatrault on LinkedIn Scalable Path Website…
"Don’t hire the brilliant jerk." That’s just one of the hard truths Zach Goldberg, CTO of Gruntwork and author of The Startup CTO’s Handbook, drops in this episode of Commit & Push. Zach joins Damien to talk about the mistakes most new CTOs make, why developer productivity is wildly misunderstood, and how overcomplicating your stack can tank your team. They dig into what actually works when scaling a dev org, how to build real performance systems, and why most software out there… just isn’t very good. If you're leading engineers—or thinking about how to lead better—this episode is your shortcut to avoiding expensive management lessons and building a team that actually ships.

Most AI projects fail. Some never ship. Others ship and implode. So what’s going wrong? In this episode of Commit & Push, Damien sits down with Dan Saffer - Associate Director of Outreach at Carnegie Mellon’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute and author of Microinteractions - to dig into the real reasons so many AI projects fall apart. Drawing on years of academic research and hands-on industry experience, Dan unpacks the five most common failure points: bad data, fragile models, vague value props, ethical landmines, and poor user adoption. They also dive into the myth of explainability, the broken state of AI UX, and why “sparkle-washing” products with AI features often makes things worse, not better. Oh - and if you’ve noticed your favorite platforms slowly turning into garbage fire content mills? Dan’s got a name for that too: enshittification - and AI might be pouring gas on it. Whether you're building AI tools, integrating them into your product, or just trying to separate signal from noise, this episode pulls back the curtain on what’s real, what’s hype, and what to do about it.
