CTO Therapy: The Risks and Rewards of Vendor Partnerships
Description
In this episode of "How Many CTOs Does It Take?" podcast, hosts Scott Porad and Brad Hefta-Gaub delve into Scott's recent meeting with AWS. They discuss the concept of vendors supporting their clients, weighing potential benefits against risks like vendor lock-in and misaligned solutions. The conversation also touches on Scott's old blog 'The Luddite CTO.' They offer practical advice for engineering leaders on framing needs as problems to leverage vendor support effectively, rather than over-functioning or over-committing resources.
