AI - Driven Workflow – David Hirschfield - ep 156
Description
This week we have guest David Hirschfield, a veteran software developer and AI expert, to discuss his career and insights on technology evolution.
David shares his journey from studying physics to excelling in sales and eventually founding a successful software company, which he sold in 2000.
He explains the rise and fall of IEF, a tool for enterprise software development in the late 80s and 90s, and how outdated systems still impact industries like car rentals today.
The conversation shifts to modern innovations like AI and alternative rental models like Turo, which offers a more seamless customer experience.
Number one tip:
If you are a startup, trust yourself but don’t believe in it.
If you aren’t sure how to speak to AI, ask it how you should use it.

Appreciate the breakdown. I’ll check them out — if everything activates cleanly and they help with audits, that’s a huge win. I wasn’t even aware it was possible to get used licenses that are still fully legit. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Anyone Bought Used Software Online That Actually Worked Long-Term? Has anyone here ever bought used software online and had a good experience? I’ve seen some solid price cuts compared to new licenses, but I’m skeptical about long-term support and activation. Curious if this route is even worth it.
