Description

In this episode, hosts Aashna Doshi & Rayan Dabbagh sit down with Jeff Barr, Vice President and Chief Evangelist at AWS — and one of the most recognizable voices in cloud computing. Jeff has been in tech since the '70s and helped shape AWS from its earliest services like S3 and EC2 to today’s AI-first future.

We explore how Jeff went from East Coast tech outsider to becoming the face of AWS innovation, what he learned from decades of writing 3,000+ blog posts, and why being "more than zero" knowledgeable about emerging tech gives you an edge. Jeff also shares his views on vibe coding, responsible AI, and the future of agentic development tools.

Whether you're an aspiring engineer, a startup founder, or just fascinated by the evolution of software — this episode is packed with insights, stories, and advice from a legend.
