If you’ve ever worked in software, you know the pressure to ship fast is real. But in today’s world, where AI can generate entire codebases in minutes, that pressure is colliding with something else: complexity. More code, more tools, more risk…and somehow, slower delivery. In fact, according to a recent report from GitHub, developers now spend over half their time not coding, but testing, validating, or just waiting for access to the right environment.
That’s where today’s guest comes in.
I’m joined by Arjun Iyer, co-founder and CEO of Signadot, and someone who’s spent more than 20 years deep in the world of distributed systems and cloud-native software. He’s worked at places like AppDynamics, and he’s tackling one of the biggest problems in software delivery: how do you move fast and maintain quality?
We talk about the real-world bottleneck slowing teams down, why AI isn’t the silver bullet because as Arjun shares just generating code doesn’t make it production ready, and how concepts like “shift left” are giving teams a smarter way to build. Find out more about Arjun Lyer here.
