Engineering Productivity & Culture at Netflix | DevInterrupted

Engineering Productivity &#038; Culture at Netflix

Andrew Zigler sits down with Animesh Mishra, Senior Solutions Engineer at Diffblue, to unpack the gap between TDD's theoretical appeal and its practical challenges. 

Will AI Finally Make TDD Practical?

If you're tired of hearing "shift left" in DevSecOps and seeing little real change, you're not alone.

In this episode, David Mytton (CEO of ArcJet, founder of Console.dev) breaks down why traditional approaches to developer security often fail. 

Can You Buy Your Way to DevSecOps Success?

Is front-end vs. back-end an antiquated way to structure engineering teams? With AI augmenting skills, a new model is emerging: the product engineer.
