#25 - Tim O'Reilly // Founder & CEO O'Reilly Media

alphalist.CTO Podcast - For CTOs and Technical Leaders

The Oracle of the Silicon Valley

Today with me in the Podcast is Tim O'Reilly, the Founder & CEO of O'Reilly Media and boy, his 1,5 million twitter followers are there for a reason!

People call him "the Oracle of the Silicon Valley", he came up with the term "Web 2.0" - This man is crazy a wizard!

We spoke about:

• Writing as superpower! How it helps you to structure your thoughts.
• How he started OSCON and great nerdy 90s
• The big tectonic "Platform changes" and how the giants use "Algorithmic Rents" to silently put more money into their pockets
• The wrong incentives and optimization functions of our economy and how to change it
• How we are part of "the machine" and "the machine" needs us to decide what is good ("ham") and what is bad ("spam")

Brilliant thoughts! Thank you so much Tim!
