Listen Later

When your engineering team grows from 10 to 100 engineers in the course of a year, there are so many things that you need to focus on, from operations and developer tooling to testing. Maintaining the health of the application is perhaps the most difficult part of all. Where exactly do you start?

We sat down with Justin Searls, the co-founder and CTO of the Test Double agency. For many years, Justin has been consulting organizations on how to best tackle team's growth and ensure that good practices are in place when teams grow. 

We talked about how to grow engineering teams without losing sanity, how to divide work without stepping on one's toes, and keep your test suite maintainable.
