Heidi recently chatted with @rachelchalmers.bsky.social of generationship.ai about Progressive Delivery, AI, and user optionality. And Robin Wall Kimmerer, as you do when you're a couple technologists discussing technology. www.heavybit.com/library/podc...

I joined @rachelchalmers.bsky.social for episode 34 of @heavybit.com's Generation Ship podcast. We discussed how AI is influencing software engineering, the role of platform engineering, metrics for assessing performance, and more. www.heavybit.com/library/podc... #AI #DORA #GBGB

So excited for the rest of you to get to know @ty.energy and @natesesti.bsky.social and their awesome company and product
