I’ll discuss my experience building continuous delivery systems through the hypergrowth phase of engineering organizations. I’ll focus on the lessons and principles learned at YouTube and Dropbox, where I saw systems scale exponentially in terms of headcount and system scale. I’ll also discuss how those principles shaped my opinions of building a great developer experience that "defaults to fast."
