As always with Charity Majors this was a pretty great interview. Lots of repeat ideas with some good nuggets.
One common new theme here is getting comfortable shipping code you have never seen before. Pointing out there are few real differences in the before and the now, a lot of the same principle apply to get the right #observability stack set up, the right deployment patterns setup. Now we don’t have a person that immediately jumps up and yells I wrote that, Sorry everyone, and has a fix in 2 minutes because they know the exact failure mode they caused in an instant.
Charity truly believes the kids will be alright. She is working with some high school aged kids making some incredible projects right now. The industry will need to learn how to re-embrace juniors and the non grey-beards.
