IT Horror Stories with Jack Smith
Show Description: *
IT Horror Stories is a podcast about the stories behind the systems: real IT projects, incidents and decisions that didn't quite go according to plan, how people dealt with them and what everyone learned afterwards.
Hosted by Jack Smith, an IT veteran with more than 25 years of experience, the show covers everything from datacenters and mainframes to software development, networking, cybersecurity, telecom and the occasional piece of technology that really should have known better.
We invite guests because the best IT stories don't come from textbooks or vendor presentations. They come from people who were actually there when something went wrong. Every guest brings a different technology, industry and perspective, giving our listeners a chance to learn from situations they might never encounter themselves.
We blame systems, procedures and organizations, not people. Stories can be anonymized where needed, and the goal is always the same: tell a good story, understand what happened and leave the listener with something useful.
