What Charity Majors actually said

  1. Charity Majors Co-founder and CTO of Honeycomb

    I used to cast a much wider net, like I felt like people ought to get to interview anyone who was being hired over them.

    I’ve come to realize that having too many veto points in the system is dangerous and doesn’t actually add more value.
