❝ e ability to make small changes quickly, observe the impacts of a change so that you’re in effect controlling the variables, limiting the scope, the blast radius of mistakes, is a fantastic way of making progress e ciently.❞ Dave Farley - inventor of the Deployment Pipeline → shipit.show/5
❝I think a lot of people in this industry, myself included, have a lot of imposter syndrome. I have a ton right now, because I just started at Vercel, and I’m working with very smart people.❞ Wait for it... → shipit.show/17
❝ e way that I combat kind of imposter syndrome is to embrace failure as much as I can. And if I do that, then I’m constantly thinking like a scientist, because I’m trying to prove myself wrong in order to ship the right thing for the customer.❞ Last one... → shipit.show/17
❝ e end of CI should be an artifact. CD is about how you actually ship that artifact to different environments.❞ Katie Gamanji - Senior Engineer, Apple → shipit.show/8

❝And if we’re going to optimize for one thing, it’s probably smoothness over speed.❞ Justin Searls - Co-founder & VP of Engineering, Test Double → shipit.show/16
❝ e only thing that truly matters is whether we are actually creating value for our business in a sustainable way. What should be the most important engine to any engineering team is truly the empathy and the customer satisfaction.❞ Arnaud Porterie - Founder & CEO, Echoes → shipit.show/24
❝In my past in my career I worked on some products that we were not using internally, and it’s very di cult to just rely on your users to get feedback. You have to use your products.❞ One of us said it, but who? → shipit.show/23
❝What we try to encourage is a learning by doing type of approach to using the product. We’ll give people pointers and nudges. And this osmosis approach is very deliberate and sort of leads to this kind of organic growth and adoption across organizations.❞ Chris Evans - Co-founder & CPO , Incident.io → shipit.show/21
❝One of the lessons of Y Combinator is that it’s never gonna be ready and it’s never gonna be good enough for you… You have to put it out to see what potential customers think of it. at is the only signal that really matters.

It helps to build some great tools together.❞ Emile Vauge - Founder & CEO , Traefik → shipit.show/19
