For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Software testing has undergone a significant transformation in recent years. It has evolved from being an isolated, time-consuming activity performed at the end of the development cycle, to an integrated and ongoing process tied to customer success. Various factors have driven this shift, including the rise of agile development methodologies and the need for faster and more efficient testing processes.
In this episode, we’ll explore, alongside Unity VP of Engineering Services Alan Page, the evolution of software testing and its impact on the software development industry, and discuss how testing practices have changed the way software is built and delivered.

Cory O’Daniel on Infrastructure as Code 25:58

hace 13 weeks25:58

25:58

Cloud adoption has outpaced the development of corresponding expertise in cloud operations, leading to a significant skills gap across the industry. In this regard, many organizations have had to abandon cloud initiatives because they lacked the necessary in-house expertise to manage them. As a result, critical projects are delayed, and costs and operational risks increase. Recognizing this gap, Cory O’Daniel co-founded MassDriver, a platform designed to simplify cloud infrastructure management for engineers without extensive cloud or operations experience. In this episode, Cory will explain how MassDriver allows teams to focus on building business value rather than getting bogged down in intricate cloud configurations.
