Commit & Push
Commit & Push
Podcast Description
Great software doesn’t build itself. Behind every breakthrough product is a team making the right calls—on architecture, hiring, and the trade-offs that shape what gets pushed to prod.
The Commit & Push podcast is where technology meets the human side of software development. I’m your host Damien Filiatrault, Founder and CEO of Scalable Path, and in this podcast we’ll go beneath the surface to explore the strategies, decisions, and hard-earned lessons that drive successful digital products. From hiring top developers to embracing emerging tech without losing the human touch, we cut through the noise and focus on what works.
Whether you’re a CTO, engineering leader, or hands-on developer, you’ll get real-world insights from industry veterans, deep dives into emerging technologies, and a no-BS look at what it takes to build and scale great software.

- What “agentic commerce” means today vs. what it implies next: LLM-assisted discovery now, agent-assisted purchasing later (especially in B2B replenishment and procurement workflows).
- Why zero-click commerce changes the operational burden for merchants: identity, payment security, and fulfillment still have to happen—just without a traditional checkout flow.
- The difference between AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), and why GEO increasingly depends on broader web presence—reviews, sentiment, and third-party references—not just on-site content.
- Why the web-as-screenshots approach (agentic browsers) is clunky and expensive, and why platforms are pushing toward structured data feeds and “traction points” that models can reliably consume.
- How Google’s approach leans on Merchant Center product feeds with new enrichment fields, and why populating those fields (sentiment/occasion/recipient) becomes a real scaling challenge for large catalogs.
- Why there’s no “one feed to rule them all” yet—and why competing incentives (ads, attribution, control) make standardization hard in the short term.
- What this shift does to analytics: less time-on-site and scroll depth, more reliance on referral signals, model “share of voice” tracking, and paid-placement pressure.
- Who adopts fastest: brands closest to the traffic cliff (digitally native, younger-skewing audiences) vs. segments that haven’t felt the drop as sharply.
- “Zero-click commerce means the entire transaction happens in the LLM.”
- “We have to clarify the matrix for the model so it’s not guessing from screenshots.”
- “AEO is relatively straightforward. GEO is the bigger lift.”
- “There is no one feed to rule them all yet.”
- “It’s going to be really rough” (for traditional analytics in a world where fewer humans visit your site).
