Randy Shoup has been building software for almost 40 years. He was at eBay twice, the second time as VP of Platform Engineering, led engineering for Google App Engine, Stitch Fix and WeWork, and today he is SVP of Engineering at CircleCI. Gene Kim calls him the most quoted person in the DevOps Handbook.
In this episode, Randy tells one of the most honest DevOps stories you’ll ever hear: how eBay got 10x faster, and why that didn’t move the business at all.
