What does it really mean to shift left, and are we overburdening our developers in the process?
In this episode, Jason Baum, Marcus Merrell, and Evelyn Coleman sit down with David Morgenthaler, a Software Engineering Manager at Indeed, to explore the real-world implications of shift-left testing. Together, they dissect the challenges of integrating continuous quality into CI/CD workflows and the potential pitfalls of placing more responsibility on developers' shoulders.
You’ll learn how tools like static analysis and AI are reshaping the software testing landscape, and whether they truly simplify or complicate the developer's day-to-day. With practical examples, they examine the fine balance between speed and quality in software delivery. Listen to discover how Indeed is navigating these challenges and what it means for the future of software testing.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
