SHOW NOTES:

• GitLab Homepage

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Software supply-chains have been in the news quite a bit lately. Before we get into that, tell us about your background and what gets you passionate about developer productivity? 

Topic 2 - Let’s talk about “the State of Developer Productivity” in 2021. What are developers able to do well, and where are their big bottlenecks today? 

Topic 3 - I constantly get questions of “do we fix this with better tools, or better organizations. I’m pretty sure the answer is a combination of both, but do you see one side or the other having a bigger impact? 

Topic 4 - GitLab does a very good job bringing together the tools developers need across the software-supply chain. When do you see an integrated “platform” gain more adoption, and when does the developer desire for “pick our tools” tend to stay in place?   

Topic 5 - Is the Solarwinds hack making a lot of companies rethink how they build software? 

Topic 6 - What are some of the best tips you have to help developer teams get more efficient, more productive?
