Patterns: Episode 21

March 9, 2026 • 26 mins
Two conventions that have overstayed their welcome: being first as a means of business value, and education through memorization. I reflect these insights through two events from 100 and 200 years ago. I also make a case for what could be done differently, by treating the concept of "first" as the begining of the journey not the goal, and using existing material as the jump-off point for investigation instead of the destination. S...

Chicken or Egg: Episode 20

March 1, 2026 • 21 mins
The age-old question of the chicken or the egg... contextually relevant to both job-hunting, basic operational economics, and the question that keeps me pondering: how do we get the experience we need to get the jobs that need that experience?

The Next Forest: Episode 19

February 20, 2026 • 15 mins
The next forest is a concept about how to re-build the vibrant economic and social society that we want after the world burns down. I talk about my perspective on what has caused this. A lack of modernization as we moved from a manufacturing economy to a services economy. Our memorization based education system has re-inforced the wrong skills, and our delegated decision structure in business culture has created a large mismatch b...

The Racket: Episode 18

February 13, 2026 • 33 mins
This one is a bitter series of topics. Uplifting only if you are looking for the answers about the fleeting small business and entrepreneurial communities, declining industry in the United States, and potentially balanced look at the history of creating something that is ahead of the curve. "I am, today, signing into law H.R. 6971, which will make it illegal for manufacturers to fix the prices of consumer products sold by retailer...

Warriors To Caregivers: Episode 17

February 8, 2026 • 24 mins
From warriors to caregivers this podcasts examines the lens of emerging strength in male archetypes through the lens of a few movies: Blade Runner, Wall Street, Zoe And The Astronaut, The Walterweight, The American Revolution, Margin Call. Strength has historically been associated with war, physical power, or the business-shark hard-hitting business-man. In light of recent events, with the murder of Alex Pretti, the role of admira...

Small Pigeon: Episode 16

February 2, 2026 • 27 mins
The small pigeon gets bigger by finding crumbs that have bounced far away, while the other pidgins fight over the larges piece of bread. I talk in this episode about how the economy of scale has shaped consolidation, and how small or emerging companies have a huge opportunity by chasing anything nuanced, high quality, or at a premium price. Full of reflection about how scheduling using software is killing retail and restaurant staf...

Let's Rebuild: Episode 15

January 27, 2026 • 24 mins
Advocating for starting over is tough in a world that is holding on to a business culture that is bleeding out. I outline three things I think the small business world can do to catch the falling pieces of the American big business world. #1 A skills marketplace that goes beyond a traditional resume. #2 A way to let bottom-up decision making balance participation and trust. #3 An accounting model that can track intangible asset...

What The Value: Episode 14

January 23, 2026 • 24 mins
Live you're values is better than lecturing your values. Lecture your values and walk away with nothing or live your values and have the satisfaction of incremental progress. This episode focuses on the role of patience in knowledge transfer, and how that forms a background for composable software and usable user interfaces. Book mentioned on the podcast: Atomic Habbits by James Clear https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits Your ho...

Seriously Human: Episode 13

January 22, 2026 • 42 mins
Seriously Human is the employment framework from Compare Basic. This podcast outlines the ideas of how a hybrid worker-collective corporation could be structured and run. And what project-management steps would need to happen for that to be the case. I also outline a little bit about the business model in comparison to a restaurant. We have open source tools, restaurants use the same ingredients you can buy at the store, you pay ...

Don't Return My Calls: Episode 12

January 10, 2026 • 33 mins
In a bit of a technical mood, I talk extensively in this episode about the cornerstone of the Caneka system I am building with Compare Basic. If your alergic to tech-jargon, best to skip to the next episode! I do explain in metaphorical terms some of the struggles that modeling the world using existing assumptions has created. As inspriation struck I recorded this podcast early: It's Mondays on Tuesday (on Friday!). Your host, Fir...

The Gap: Episode 11

January 7, 2026 • 32 mins
This week it's all about explaining how the business world has eroded from a lack of modern accounting practices. But it's not all sad, there is a lot of hope from explaining how the physical world of manufacturing equipment was easier on business leader egos, but also shines a light into what could be the financial and decision making opportunity to repair a lot of the damage to the working world of today. Your host, Firecrow Si...

Zero or One is None: Episode 10

December 31, 2025 • 23 mins
Let's stop ignoring things until they are complete, and take notice of the developmental phases of 0.1, 0.3 0.2 etc... I do a shallow dive into some examples of amazingly successful things (Dyson Vacumes, Godsmack the band) and the sad light their struggles cast on how developing value is recognized by the business community. I go into a deep explanation of what Compare Basic is working on, through an explanation of our three phas...

Seperation of Concerns: Episode 9

December 23, 2025 • 17 mins
This week is burnout week, as I talk about the separation and boundaries of software and every day life. My hope that we will emerge from this winter in the software industry, with patterns and conventions that empower users rather than rely on extractive media remains strong. Have a good holiday, and join me at https://comparebasic.com, I'd love to hear from you. Your host, Firecrow Silvernight, founder Compare Basic, https://co...

What Could Have Been: Episode 7

December 9, 2025 • 20 mins
A little trip down memory lane, and how software could bridge the best of the past and the future. The update this week is about stepping back, to supplement my income with a day-job, while I re-tool the system to break through the noise of convention. I talk a little bit about the resistance I've faced in the software industry around my conclusion that the existing tooling in software development is not sufficient. You Host Firecr...

Algo Observation vs AI: Episode 6

December 2, 2025 • 29 mins
This podcast compares the reliability of classical data-science techniques (NGram, MapReduce, Co-ocurrenceMatrix) vs LLM based AI's. It's a shallow dive full of metaphors and humor, or at-least I laughed a lot while recording it. Your host Firecrow Silvernight
