From Punch Cards to AI: Exploring America and Entrepreneurship with Onagh Ash | Episode 8

AI didn’t appear overnight. 🤖

It’s the result of decades of systems thinking, iteration, and hard-earned lessons in software implementation.

In the latest ZAPTALK, industry veteran Onagh Ash joins Alex Chernyak and Joe Colantonio to reflect on:

✅ How the real value of AI lies in context, not code

✅ Why automation needs to empower business users—not just engineers

✅ The risks of ignoring testing when legacy systems meet AI-powered workflows

✅ And why “record & playback” is finally being rebuilt the right way.

📍 If you work in enterprise QA, DevOps, or process automation, this episode connects the dots between then and now—without romanticizing the past.
