Shift left is a strategy for moving tasks earlier in your workflow or timeline so that issues are discovered and addressed cheaper and faster. We've seen it move through the industry across QA, Operations, and Security. In this episode, Dave and Allan talk about how these shifts have affected our industry and what's happened with those traditional roles. Is the next step for developers begin to shift left into Product roles? Are there some things which should shift right?

074 - Is Your Refrigerator Running?
Do you know how your system behaves in production? Can you tell what is normal and what is a problem? It can be all to easy to do a basic set up with a SaaS product and then stop thinking about what's happening in production, hoping that you'll be able to get to the data if there's a problem. In this episode, your hosts discuss the concept of Observability. If we want to be able to improve our systems, avoid problems, and get the right alerts then we must instrument our code for the right data and learn what our baseline actually looks like.

073 - Software Imitates Life
Biology has a lot to teach us about successful complex systems. As with other disciplines, we can adapt biological concepts to help us create better software — both in code and in how we work. In this episode, your hosts talk about how we can apply concepts from cells, genetics, and evolution to practical concepts like team creation, code communication patterns, and architecture. You may never code up your own genetic algorithm, but we think you'll find the concepts interesting and useful.
