They did 150 services in less than six months. But what stood out wasn't just the scale or the timeline, it was the approach. They really leaned on tooling so they could ratchet progress forward, and then they'd lock it in with CI rules so nothing backslid. They would ship automated PRs, and if nobody complained but nobody looked at them, they would just purge them, and they trusted their infrastructure. They would do deployments wher...

A Little Bit CultyBlazing Eyes, Cult Ties, and New Age Vibes with Leah SottileThis episode is sponsored in part by BetterHelp. New Age isn’t just sage bundles and Instagram affirmations.
