080: ‘All of the Clouds’, with Randall Stevens

Special guest Randall Stevens of AVAIL joins the podcast to talk about the inner day-to-day workflows of architecture and engineering professionals, teams, and offices. Randall quantifies the large number of software titles used and talks about the ways in which we deal with the enormous amount of data that we create. The age-old question of ‘where do I put my stuff’ is still alive and well, and in this episode we talk about how his team is working on that issue, among others. We also talk about the struggle of knowledge capture, encoding knowledge, the problem with turnover in the industry, pattern recognition, and more.
