Listen Later

Charity Majors, CTO and co-founder at honeycomb, grew up in rural Idaho and dropped out of college. This is her unlikely journey from pianist to successful high-tech entrepreneur. She's a pioneer in the monitoring and observability space who  turned her learning at Facebook into a company focused on helping developers find and fix bugs faster. Charity's opinionated, thoughtful, and one of the most outspoken critics of, well, the status quo :).

Listen and learn...

  1. What motivated Charity to start a career in tech having been a "perennial dropout"
  2. Why "ops has a well-deserved reputation for masochism"
  3. Why Charity says the "Kool-aid at Facebook is strong and potent" 
  4. Why it's impossible to troubleshoot software bugs with high cardinality data
  5. How Charity defines observability
  6. What it means to practice observability-driven development (ODD) and why it should replace test-driven development (TDD)
