Guest Highlight:
“Architecture is key. Very key. So, you set up the right infrastructure in a secure place to let people iterate in a safe place—that takes a lot of architecture. You don't want stuff being put into production that these guys built and break. Who gets the first call? It's IT. So, I really feel like our role is changing from doing more building and more enabling and more architecture.”
