Programming through episode 111, Real Time Data Streaming with Frank McSherry. Take it away, Jason.

Hey, everybody. So this is going to be a really, really interesting episode. A lot of folks

are interested in big data. Big data is still hugely, hugely important. It's still growing

at a really, really fast pace. There's so many companies that are

figuring out how to manage a lot of information that is, you know, coming through and how to harness

that and how to use it to make better products. And so we're here to talk with Frank McSherry,

who's the co-founder of Materialize, who's going to really

kind of walk us through, you know, really what is real-time data streaming, how that works

under the hood, and, you know, how everyone else can kind of get their hands on this tech.

So thanks a lot for coming on the show, Frank.

Oh, it's not a problem at all. It's my pleasure.

Cool. So how are you

handling the COVID situation to work from home? How has it kind of changed your day to day?

Yeah, it's maybe unsurprising. It's changed everyone's day to day, pretty substantially.

We went from being a group of people who are basically all in the same room, more or less.

We had a sort of 16-person office that everyone showed up and worked and had a certain collaboration

style and that sort of pivoted 180 degrees to everyone is somewhere else. And it's in some ways

good. Like from my point of view, we need to be a lot more thoughtful about our communication

and our processes and stuff like that.

You can't just yell at someone to try to figure out how a thing works.

You have to ideally write it down

and everyone can see at that point.
