Update: 2025-05-20
Description
This episode of the Jon Cline Show focuses on the human side of technology and building stronger teams in an AI-driven world. Host Jon Cline discusses recent news in the AI world, including potential decreases in AI spending at Amazon and the increasing prevalence of AI hallucinations. As a continuation from a previous episode on why tech projects fail, the show delves into the most common risks and symptoms Jon has observed in over a thousand projects. A major theme is the lack of a common "sheet of music" or process playbook among team members ("musicians"), leading to noise, frustration, and project failure or lack of adoption. The importance of a "conductor" role to document processes and ensure consistent workflow, particularly at hand-off points, is highlighted. The learning segment introduces prompt engineering as a key skill for effective communication with AI. Jon explains how to tailor prompts with "people first dimensions" such as specifying knowledge level, requesting references, setting a desired style, and asking for balanced perspectives to enhance AI output and learning. The episode encourages listeners to be well-informed about AI and leverage their people-first power.
