AI and tech revolutions: why we’ve been here before | Jamie Dobson

In this episode of The Digital Lighthouse, host Zoe Cunningham speaks with Jamie Dobson, founder of cloud consultancy Container Solutions and author of Visionaries, Rebels and Machines.

Zoe and Jamie explore the long arc of technology history and what it reveals about the current age. They discuss why innovation has never been a solo pursuit, why management and leadership matter as much as scientific breakthroughs, and why many of today’s AI debates echo arguments that have played out before.

Drawing on examples ranging from Edison to Oppenheimer to Amazon, Jamie explains how technology evolves through systems, people, and use cases rather than isolated inventions. He also shares practical lessons for today’s technology leaders navigating cloud adoption, AI capability building, and rapid change.

Transcript

[00:00:00] Zoe Cunningham: Hello and welcome to The Digital Lighthouse, where we get inspiration from tech leaders to help us navigate the exciting and ever evolving world of digital transformation. I’m Zoe Cunningham.

[00:00:12] Zoe Cunningham: We believe that meaningful conversations can illuminate the path forward, helping us harness the power of technology for innovation, scalability, and sustainability.

[00:00:22] Zoe Cunningham: On this episode, I’m thrilled to be chatting with Jamie Dobson. Jamie is the founder of Cloud consultancy Container Solutions, where he served as CEO for 10 years before handing over the reigns in 2024.

[00:00:35] Zoe Cunningham: Jamie has an extensive background building large cloud platforms across a range of industries from travel to banking.

[00:00:42] Zoe Cunningham: Along with Michelle Gienow and Pini Reznik, Jamie co-authored Cloud Native Transformation: Practical Patterns for Innovation. A guide to transforming your organisation into a cloud native enterprise, both architecturally and culturally.

[00:00:59] Zoe Cunningham: In this episode, we’ll be chatting through topics from Jamie’s new book, Visionaries, Rebels and Machines, from the invention of the building blocks of technology we use today to how these same principles underpin the artificial intelligence that we can predict right now will shape our future.

[00:01:17] Zoe Cunningham: Jamie will share with us how advances in people, management and leadership were as essential as the scientific advances and how both together culminated in our interconnected world of today. So Jamie, welcome to The Digital Lighthouse.

[00:01:33] Zoe Cunningham: Jamie, you started your career as a technologist working for consultancies like Accenture. Can you tell me about your journey to starting and building up Container Solutions and what you learned along the way?

[00:01:46] Jamie Dobson: I became a consultant quite by accident.Originally I was a computer programmer, so that was the… that was my chosen career path. That’s what I enjoyed doing as a kid and as a student.

[00:01:58] Jamie Dobson: But of course, I entered the world of work, more or less at the time that the worldwide web exploded onto the scene. So all of a sudden the lone programmer no longer existed. We were forced to work in teams with people who did the front end, designed user journeys, people who hosted the software we wrote.

[00:02:18] Jamie Dobson: And so myself and many other colleagues were thrust into teams for the very first time. So you start to see the rise of extreme programming, the Agile software delivery methods and that, that spoke to me. And when I moved to Accenture, there was a specific reason for that, which was I wanted to get my hands on big systems for big companies.

[00:02:39] Jamie Dobson: In other words, to move away from the startup world I’d been occupying, and once I started that, I started to think, oh, there’s, a different way to do consulting. And in the end, that became the genesis of Container Solutions.

[00:02:51] Zoe Cunningham: Tell us a bit about your, different way of doing consulting, then.

[00:02:57] Jamie Dobson: As being customer centric. Now that might seem quite a modern concept.

[00:03:03] Jamie Dobson: I’ve seen some appalling, I cannot name names of course, but the… There’s a, there’s an ethical problem with consultancy that sometimes if you do a bad job, you end up getting more fees to correct your previous errors.

[00:03:17] Jamie Dobson: And so there’s an incentive on the consultant side to drag the project on for as long as possible. So there’s a really, there’s a real ethical challenge there. So for me, there were two sides of it. The customer side of it. So working collaboratively with the customers, with our customers, including project inception, sitting around the table and looking about what has to happen and how do we hand over the work we’ve done? So in other words, how do we help our customers build their own capability?

[00:03:47] Jamie Dobson: So I was always a big believer in that. There’s a current backlash in both the United States and the United Kingdom against consultancies because governments should build their own capabilities. There’s no pushback from me on that one. I think that’s right.

[00:03:59] Jamie Dobson: On the other hand, there was this ridiculous notion that you shouldn’t train your people too much because if your consultants became too skilled, they would pick up and leave. And of course the idea is, what happens if they don’t have the skills for the job?

[00:04:12] Jamie Dobson: So Container Solutions was a bit like a university. So drawing on all those wonderful heroes of mine from Xerox PARC and even the work that Oppenheimer did in the desert. Container Solutions was always meant to be a learning organisation on the one end, and very customer centric on the other.

[00:04:27] Zoe Cunningham: Yeah. And like you say, it’s… ’cause Softwire started in 2000, right?

[00:04:32] Zoe Cunningham: And we, when we started, we had principles: we were like, it’s gotta be done this way, which wasn’t common. And it’s actually quite gratifying, isn’t it, to see the industry move and go, oh, okay, actually everyone wants to do it this way now. And that’s a good thing.

[00:04:46] Jamie Dobson: It’s nice to be right. It’s nice to be right.

[00:04:49] Jamie Dobson: And I was told, I was all told, I was told, ‘you won’t succeed’. ‘You are idealistic’. ‘You don’t understand the real world’. ‘You don’t live in the real world’ was what I used to get all the time. And I’m about I’m pretty certain I do live in the real world. And of course I was only young, so I probably took that feedback to heart.

[00:05:05] Jamie Dobson: That being said, that was the catalyst I needed to go and prove these people wrong. And in the end, I think we did a good job of proving them all wrong.

[00:05:15] Zoe Cunningham: Brilliant. Moving on from Container Solutions to your new book. So congratulations on, releasing Visionaries, Rebels and Machines. The first thing that struck me right from the moment that I started reading was what a deep and comprehensive history of technology you’ve put together.

[00:05:35] Zoe Cunningham: So was this history that you knew already from your time as a technologist, was it things you’d picked up or did you have to research like the early discoveries like vacuum tube radios and sticking together transistors to make a microchip.

[00:05:49] Jamie Dobson: Like a fool. If you’d have asked me that questions five years ago, I’d have said, I, think I more or less know the timeline. And so I don’t need to do much research. That’s, how I started writing the book.

[00:05:59] Jamie Dobson: But actually looking back and looking at the references, I’ve done a tremendous amount of research, but the big blocks were there.

[00:06:08] Jamie Dobson: Edison at the beginning, Edison was always meant to be the beginning, but actually I had to take one step further into the past to talk about Galvani and Volta because in my opinion, that was the beginning of the separation of neurology as a study, and electrical engineering.

[00:06:24] Jamie Dobson: They came back together in the perceptron in the 1950s and sixties. In my opinion. So, the building blocks were there, but there were, there was one thing I definitely didn’t know and I was scared of, which is how the transistors work. So I’m a computer programmer. I’m scared of electronics. So I’ve, been meaning ever since I was an undergrad to kick the tires on transistors and I’ve been putting it off for 30 years.

[00:06:46] Jamie Dobson: And but this book was really right, you’re gotta go and learn about transistors. And then the second thing there was an unknown unknown. I didn’t fully understand the relationship between the early psychologists and specifically Licklider, who worked for the Advanced Research Projects Agency and how that sort of bridged usability and all the things he put in motion would become, the personal computer.

[00:07:14] Jamie Dobson: There was a J.C.R. Licklider shape missing in my mind that I didn’t know about. And as to the transistors, what a disappointment that was. So basically the answer is dead easy. You got a light bulb, somebody stuck a wire in to make a diode, and that could be used as a switch.

[00:07:30] Jamie Dobson: Somebody stuck a third wire in, so it could be used as a dimmer switch. And then William Shockley and his team shrank it. And at that moment, the vacuum tube became the transistor, and if you’ve got millions of them, you’ve got a microchip. I was like, oh my god, I’ve been worried about that for years.

[00:07:44] Zoe Cunningham: Yeah, I had tremendous fun reading your book, and it sounds like it must have been tremendous fun, like researching it and finding these things out. What was the most interesting thing that you discovered?

[00:07:58] Jamie Dobson: I think on the people side, Robert Oppenheimer as a manager. I think that’s very interesting. So people think of Oppenheimer as now I am… ‘now I become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds’ and all of that. And the film, the recent film with Christopher Nolan.

[00:08:13] Jamie Dobson: But what you see in Los Alamos, is very subtle things. Creating creches because a lot of the physicists wives were either working there or they were growing their own families. So what practical things did Oppi need to put in place so that his team could get on with their lives? And so you see that, you don’t think of Edison as a manager. He was a fantastic manager as well. So that was something that jumped out.

[00:08:41] Jamie Dobson: Second thing, I think I knew it somewhere, but I couldn’t articulate it. Who invents a system? Is it the person who invents a component? The microphone which is what Thomas Edison did.

[00:08:54] Jamie Dobson: Is it the person who brings all of these components together, which Edison did do at Menlo Park, but Edison have no idea that his system for dividing light would be used to plug in toasters, not long after that, radios, etc. etc. It’s the use cases that brought the grid to life. So does that mean we’re the inventors, the users?

[00:09:16] Jamie Dobson: And then you saw that again with AWS, they had a Cloud. You could log in and buy storage and some compute. But only once it got into our hands, the users of AWS did Amazon start to really understand where this thing can go. So I think that’s… I don’t know if, I didn’t know that, but it was nice to see actually, there’s these three progressions and we probably underestimate the impact of the users and the creativity of businessmen linking real user needs on the one hand, with technology on the other.

[00:09:47] Zoe Cunningham: Yeah, and it’s like you said at the start, right? This idea we have of a lone programmer, coding a system, that’s not how it works at all.

[00:09:57] Zoe Cunningham: It’s very much a team sport and a team process. And, all of these, like you say, these great inventions, they’re not really the product of one person. They’re the product of one person within a society linking in with tens or hundreds of other people.

[00:10:14] Jamie Dobson: The thing about Thomas Edison is he’s vilified, I think, very unfairly, and he’s also held up as an exemplar of the Lord Inventor.

[00:10:22] Jamie Dobson: This is exactly the opposite of the truth. That what he did at Menlo Park was have teams and teams of people so he could run more experiments in parallel. So without, an ability to manage the team and manage the politics and the dynamics he could have never had parallel invention.

[00:10:39] Jamie Dobson: So the reason why he beat the English man, Joseph Swan, to the punch with the incandescent light bulb is ’cause Swan was a lone inventor and Edison could innovate with vacuums, with filaments, with the grid in parallel.

[00:10:53] Jamie Dobson: You see that today: the big companies can run experiments in parallel. That’s what Netflix do. That’s what Google do.

[00:10:59] Zoe Cunningham: I feel like we are going super fast just thinking through history and how fast everything was going, but it just keeps going faster and it feels like we’re flat out.

[00:11:09] Zoe Cunningham: And I think the temptation is to let things drop by the wayside. Like I don’t really have time to learn about the history of technology ’cause I’ve got so much going on right now. But what are the things that it is important that we know and we remember as technologists using that when we build things going forwards?

[00:11:28] Jamie Dobson: It’s a good question. Are things really moving quicker or is it, is there an illusion that things are going quicker? So when the radio came out, by the time you bought a radio and stuck it on your shelf because it was big, it had a vacuum tube in the back. It was instantly out of date.

[00:11:45] Jamie Dobson: So the same challenges you have with flat screen TVs now. Every time you buy one next year’s is almost certainly going to be better.

[00:11:52] Jamie Dobson: That happens pre Moore’s Law. So you see people complaining about the insane rate of change with electrification of society. And then when we brought radios in and then when we brought televisions in. So there’s, something about, things changing that make you feel it’s accelerated.

[00:12:09] Jamie Dobson: At the other end of the spectrum though, there is something that is specific. Artificial neural networks basically need more data and more computing power to make them more powerful. And because of Moore’s Law, we do get exponentially more computing power all the time. So they are moving at a breakneck speed.

[00:12:28] Jamie Dobson: That being said, if you look at the lifetime of artificial neural networks, it’s pretty slow. It’s the conclusion that we can’t get computers to simulate the brain. So why don’t we flip it around and try to borrow from the brain, and to create these systems that happened in the 1950s and then got the back propagation of errors in about 1983, so you could work back through the network and then, the web.

[00:12:54] Jamie Dobson: It basically created a way for us to create lots of data. So for that we needed digital cameras. So actually it’s quite a slow process to get to the artificial neural networks of today. But things are moving quickly. Yeah, and I think things are changing, quickly when you’re throw in the cost of living crisis, the…

[00:13:13] Jamie Dobson: I’ve got a book from 1906 that if you cross out the technologies they talk about, you see the rise of populism, the rise of communism, left wing populists blame the rich, right wing populists blame immigrants, or a minority. Now I could write cloud in there or artificial intelligence, and that book would still make sense today.

[00:13:36] Jamie Dobson: These technologies change, but human nature and our societal reaction to corporate greed has not changed at all.

[00:13:44] Zoe Cunningham: Yeah. that’s a great answer as well. If you remember one thing from history, it’s that everything is not as new and different as you think it is. Our times are not as unprecedented.

[00:13:56] Zoe Cunningham: Everyone throughout history always thought they were living in unprecedented well, and, they kinda were. Because everything’s always been changing and everything’s always new.

[00:14:05] Jamie Dobson: It’s remarkable. So the… this was a big theme: technology changes; human nature doesn’t.

[00:14:10] Jamie Dobson: As soon as we had electronic technologies, we use them to amplify messages. So people are talking about social media and, the use of governments to shape public opinion. As soon as the transistor radio came out, that’s exactly what British propagandists did. And then the Nazi party did that to remarkable effect.

[00:14:29] Jamie Dobson: They gave everybody a free radio and used it to change the mood of the whole nation to prepare the nation for conflict. So this is not new, this idea of taking propaganda and splicing it together with electronic technology. It’s not new and we’ve solved the problem already. A lot of the solutions, apply right now.

[00:14:48] Zoe Cunningham: I’m just rattling through it ’cause there’s so much interesting content in your book. A quote that jumped out at me was ‘Developers are alchemists and our job is to do everything we can to get them to do their alchemy’, which Jeff Bezos said from Amazon. As a developer, I thoroughly agree with that sentiment.

[00:15:07] Zoe Cunningham: How does it lead to the creation of cloud computing?

[00:15:10] Jamie Dobson: The original alchemists were Thomas Edison, they changed science and engineering into dollars. Pure gold. The new alchemists changed silicon sand into digital dollars so that the Bezos has almost certainly stolen that expression from a 1982 book about the rise of microchips.

[00:15:30] Jamie Dobson: But basically he was doing a nutter. Now that’s not a Yorkshiresism, that’s what journalists describe Jeff Bezos as doing when he chucks a tantrum.

[00:15:38] Jamie Dobson: So Bezos comes to the conclusion that innovation at Amazon is limited by how quickly they can get features under the noses of a customer. So whether that’s One Click, the auto saving of addresses, basic A/B testing. Very quickly they realise that, if we cannot provide new features and if we can’t scale up our infrastructure, we’re gonna lose people because there’s, there’s only so many people can log in at any one time.

[00:16:06] Jamie Dobson: So the bottleneck and infrastructure and software development became almost one-on-one or synonymous with innovation at Amazon.

[00:16:15] Jamie Dobson: That then became Bezos’ sort of catchphrase: developers are alchemy and we, and by we, he means those managers, those business people, we have to do everything we can so that they can do their alchemy. We’ve gotta pull down all these barriers and the only barriers really at Amazon, were computer infrastructure.

[00:16:34] Jamie Dobson: And that’s therefore the beginning of APIs to provision software and infrastructure. It’s the famous memo where Bezos said, ‘anybody who doesn’t use APIs to provision their stuff, I’m gonna fire you instantly’. And a couple of years after that, after they started to really solve the IT infrastructure bottleneck, it hit them. If we’ve solved that for ourselves, maybe we could sell that as a service.

[00:16:59] Jamie Dobson: And so that goes all the way back to Edison, where what he was actually doing was creating lighting as a service. All of a sudden you’ve got computers as a service. So those parallels between, Edison and Bezos in that regard, they hold.

[00:17:12] Zoe Cunningham: And right now, after all these great inventions of the past, we’re going through this technological change as large language models change how we write and how we create.

[00:17:22] Zoe Cunningham: We’ve already alluded to it already. What do you think the implications of the history of technology are for the current AI transition?

[00:17:31] Zoe Cunningham: I suppose specifically if you are a CTO or a CEO talking to your CTO and you wanna be like, how can I best prepare for ai? What can we learn from history to support that?

[00:17:43] Jamie Dobson: So I think the number one lesson we start with Theo Vail. So Ted Vail helped to bring Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone company to life, but then he was ousted because the lawyers took over and they were all about protecting the patents and exploiting them for forever. And Vail was like, if we don’t innovate, we die.

[00:18:02] Jamie Dobson: They brought him back in desperation in 1907. The very first thing he did was fire all the lawyers and the traditional managers and he brought what I’ve called ‘Telephone Native Leaders’. So people who understood telephony and understood human nature. So right now I’m personally assisting or advising a number of companies, and I don’t need Theodore Vail to teach me this, but I’m like, you’ve got managers who came up in the time of web development.

[00:18:30] Jamie Dobson: They don’t know anything about cloud computing. They certainly don’t know anything about artificial intelligence. So if you don’t have. People who are, either born in these areas or at least understand how they work, you’re going to struggle because you’re managing your business as if it was 20 years ago, and that just doesn’t make sense anymore.

[00:18:47] Jamie Dobson: So I think the first thing is, what does a capability look like and how do you go about building it? Everybody at Container Solutions is really savvy with the cloud, that’s what we do.

[00:18:56] Zoe Cunningham: It’s your job, right?

[00:18:57] Jamie Dobson: Yeah. It is our job. So, people have got to build those capabilities, identify those managers, and it’s a bit boring, but a little bit of strategic human resource.

[00:19:07] Jamie Dobson: What type of people do you need now? What type of people do you need a year from now? And what are you gonna do to close the gap on that? So that’s pretty traditional HR stuff, but it’s necessary.

[00:19:17] Jamie Dobson: The second thing is the use case question. So if history teaches us anything. It’s that it won’t be the creators of these Large Language Models that will dictate where we go with this, but it will be the users.

[00:19:28] Jamie Dobson: This has already started to happen. Large Language Models trained on medical data, specifically how you react from heart attack or the symptoms that lead into that. So you’ve now got LLMs that will give you a better answer about your patient’s heart condition than ever before.

[00:19:47] Jamie Dobson: That’s a classic use case, so certainly ChatGPT or the people behind the technology didn’t think that this was gonna be a use case, but voom, there you go.

[00:19:55] Jamie Dobson: We’ve now got a stethoscope, and this is really interesting because history, God Almighty repeats itself as total farce. The stethoscope itself was originally rejected because doctors said, if you can’t understand your patient’s breathing with your own ears, if you can’t put your ear on their chest like this and understand it, you’re not a real doctor.

[00:20:17] Jamie Dobson: So it took a decade for the stethoscope to be accepted as a tool. Anyway, nowadays there’s a modern stethoscope. It’s a bit like the original, except it sends the data back to a cloud computer where there’s a Large Language Model trained on lots of stethoscope data, and it will quickly say, this person has the risk for this… this person is suffering from this… And it does so much more accurately than the doctor alone and an old fashioned stethoscope can do.

[00:20:44] Jamie Dobson: So it’s already started. The future will be dictated by the users.

[00:20:48] Jamie Dobson: So I think those are probably the two big ones for me. The third one, what we’re gonna do when all these people become unemployed.

[00:20:57] Jamie Dobson: It’s coming. It’s 100% coming. When Henry Ford’s motorcar took off. 20% of all grains grown in America at the turn of the last century went to feeding horses. 20%.

[00:21:10] Zoe Cunningham: Wow.

[00:21:10] Jamie Dobson: There was a cottage industry in people. Can I swear? Am I allowed to swear?.. Horse manure. All the streets were caked in horse manure and people had to clean it up and they cleaned it up into two metre piles at the end of every street.

[00:21:24] Jamie Dobson: So if you imagine Broadway or maybe The Mall here in London just about 140 years ago, and lovely upper class ladies walking with their parasols, you can each picture that scene easily. But what you can’t picture just off, off camera as it were, is piles and piles of horse manure. So this is a kind of comical way to say one industry came to an end.

[00:21:45] Jamie Dobson: The rise of LLMs is gonna bring industries to an end. And even if they don’t bring them to an end quickly, the people planning the next round of businesses are banking on these technologies working.

[00:21:57] Jamie Dobson: This is why society is currently frustrated. The cost of living’s going up, unemployment’s going up. People are holding budgets in cloud computing. People are confused for the first time, computer programmers are finally feeling what it means like to have a precarious income because for the last 30 years we had a great party and all of a sudden people I know who have never had an issue getting a job, they’re asking me, Hey, have you got anything going right now? Because I can’t find a job. I’ve been unemployed for 6, 9, 12 months. That’s unheard of if you’re a talented technologist. So the world has changed right in front of us.

[00:22:33] Zoe Cunningham: Yeah. And, things don’t get.. I think sometimes we assume things will get better on their own. And actually, unless we make a concerted effort, that’s not what happens.

[00:22:44] Jamie Dobson: And there’s precedent for that because the underground in Paris and London, the municipal public transport in both New York and Zurich and Vienna, was put together not by radical leftists. They were all put together as a way to bring social justice because so much money was being consolidated in so few hands.

[00:23:04] Jamie Dobson: These people were not woke left nutcases like was, that’s not the words I’d used to describe it by the way, but I’m trying to say is that it was sensible politics to try to avoid civil unrest. Everything that’s happening right now has happened before. Let’s see if we’ve got any parliamentarians who are willing to learn something from their great grandparents.

[00:23:26] Zoe Cunningham: Yeah, absolutely. Just quickly, where can people get hold of your book and what’s next for you?

[00:23:31] Jamie Dobson: The book is available in all good bookstores. I think there’s about three copies of the hardback left and they’re all signed, so if people wanna grab them, they can. What’s next for me is something slightly experimental.

[00:23:43] Jamie Dobson: I, I got it into my head, maybe it was reading about the radio and the 1950s to do a sort of single narrator podcast, and I’m gonna use that to expand Visionaries, Rebels And Machines. So for example, I mentioned Theodore Vail today. He doesn’t really appear in the book. He deserves his own podcast episode, as it were.

[00:24:03] Jamie Dobson: And what I’m learning is it’s quite challenging to script that, record that I thought I’d be like, I thought I’d burn through an episode every three days. Yeah. I can’t even tell you how stupid that now looks in hindsight. So that’s what I’m gonna be doing.

[00:24:16] Jamie Dobson: I’m still really enjoying consulting at Container Solutions. I, deal with our most difficult customer issues. I love that. But I don’t have any managerial responsibilities. So I think bit of podcasting. Bit of consulting and try to enjoy it. I’m not very good at that, but I’ll just try to enjoy this change of pace and 2026, who knows?
