A full stack slice of software used to cost $2,500. Today Adam Dymitruk's team produces one for 25 cents.
In this episode of CTO Confidential, Mike Rispoli sits down with Adam Dymitruk, founder and CEO of Adaptech Group and the creator of Event Modeling. Adam has spent more than 30 years in software, the last 20 focused on event sourcing, and for eleven years his company has sold fixed cost slices with no known bugs allowed.
We get into:
- Why new ideas start with frustration at the status quo
- Fixed cost slices, flat cost curves, and a four hour ceiling on every bug
- Preserving data at the edge, and why after the fact logging is not a source of truth
- Event sourcing without aggregates, and indexing any property on any event
- Letting an agent read the event stream so you do not have to read the code
- The injured roofer who learned to program one slice at a time
- Why the AI multiplier is 10,000, not 10
- Knowledge versus experience, and what learning Git the hard way taught Adam
- Why you are now selling understanding, not solutions
