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 an AI agent actually is, and how it differs from a standard chatbot
- How agents can be triggered by events inside tools like Monday or ClickUp and take action automatically
- Why data analysis and internal knowledge retrieval are two of the strongest real-world use cases today
- How RAG systems turn folders of SOPs and documents into searchable, AI-friendly knowledge bases
- Why tools like Raggy and N8N make it possible to build useful agent workflows quickly, even without deep engineering work
- Why narrow, focused agents tend to perform better than overloaded ones with too many tools or too much context
- What makes N8N stand out from tools like Zapier and Make for agentic workflows
- Why so many AI projects fail inside companies, even when the tools themselves are powerful
- Why AI adoption needs process design, training, and leadership alignment—not just subscriptions and enthusiasm
- “Agents will look at their instructions, look at their tools, do something, and then circle back to themselves.”
- “Fill in those gaps in your business all day long with tiny little simple agents.”
- “Keep it as narrow of a focus for an agent as possible.”
- “You literally just change the prompt in plain language. You’re not reconstructing anything.”
- “You’re just throwing a tool at a problem.”
- “How do we get them past just the individual small gains and actually building standardized systems?”
