Vic Bondi interview: Hardcore and Microsoft

On this episode we’re joined by Vic Bondi, a business technologist who’s held senior positions at Microsoft and consulted with companies both large and small. As well, he was a founding member of the politically focused, Chicago-based hardcore punk band, Articles of Faith. Vic has a PhD in History and has written and taught on the topic.

We discuss the evolution of Microsoft culture from the 90s to today
and how a phone machine negotiated his first Microsoft contract. We ponder whether software programmers are today’s new rock stars, and finally we explore the thread that connects Vic’s music, software development and history experiences together.
