Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S8 E27: Valeriy Bykanov, Prodigy

Valeriy Bykanov studied computer science in the Ukraine, and eventually in 2009, decided to start his own software development agency. After doing this for some time, he wanted to expand his horizons and moved to Berlin to join a startup. Outside of tech, he is married, and loves to be active outdoors - hiking, snowboarding and cycling. In fact, one of his favorite things to do is listen to a podcast or audiobook while hitting a biking trail.

Valeriy had some past experience in recruitment, having had run his own agency. He found great reward in placing people, but eventually wanted to build a solution for the process. After he met his co-founder, they both decided to attack the creation of a new kind of recruiting tool.

This is the creation story of Prodigy.

And, how has “Bluey” become such a hit (19:16)?

Everything Everywhere Daily - China’s Imperial Dynasties

China has a long and rich history. For over 2,200 years, China, or at least parts of what we would recognize as China, was ruled by a series of imperial dynasties. 

These dynasties shaped the history of China and represented distinct eras in Chinese history, characterized by their unique political, cultural, and social systems.

The transition from one dynasty to the other often resulted in wars and changes in governmental organization and cultures. 

Learn more about the imperial dynasties of China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Colin Dickey, “Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shapes American Democracy” (Viking, 2023)

The United States was born in paranoia. From the American Revolution (thought by some to be a conspiracy organized by the French) to the Salem witch trials to the Satanic Panic, the Illuminati, and QAnon, one of the most enduring narratives that defines the United States is simply this: secret groups are conspiring to pervert the will of the people and the rule of law. We’d like to assume these panics exist only at the fringes of society, or are unique features of the internet age. But history tells us, in fact, that they are woven into the fabric of American democracy.

Cultural historian Dr. Colin Dickey has built a career studying how our most irrational beliefs reach the mainstream, why, and what they tell us about ourselves. In Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shape American Democracy (Viking, 2023), Dickey charts the history of America through its paranoias and fears of secret societies, while seeking to explain why so many people—including some of the most powerful people in the country—continue to subscribe to these conspiracy theories. Paradoxically, he finds, belief in the fantastical and conspiratorial can be more soothing than what we fear the most: the chaos and randomness of history, the rising and falling of fortunes in America, and the messiness of democracy. Only in seeing the cycle of this history, Dickey says, can we break it.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What A Day - Reopening Gaza’s Lifeline

President Biden will travel to Israel tomorrow. The high-stakes visit is meant to be a show of solidarity with Israel – while also sending a message to other countries in the region to keep the conflict with Hamas from escalating. The announcement also comes amid a continued push to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The federal government has reached a deal with the ACLU over the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy that separated thousands of migrant families. If approved, those families will be allowed to remain in the U.S. for three years, and will receive housing and legal aid to apply for asylum.

We also talk about the self-driving cars and food delivery robots that are currently running amok in California and the street rebels who are trying to stop them. We've got some tales from the "Bartenders of Reddit" and a JAM OF THE WEEK from Alice in Chains. Carly is the best. This episode is the best.
