Kind listens

Listen to How to Have a Massage from Nobody Panic. Stevie got a massage and loved it. Tessa gets them all the time for her stressed body. Together they offer advice if you’re thinking about going for the first time and, quite frankly, get far too worried about how to tell if your masseuse is going to give you a “happy ending” or not.

Alexis Richardson co-founded a company in 2014 called Weaveworks, which created an open source GitOps project called Flux CD. In February, the company ceased operations, despite having gained new customers in 2023. Among the events that precipitated the closure of the business were acquisition talks with a larger company that fell through "at the 11th hour," according to a post by Richardson on LinkedIn. Weaveworks is one example of a company associated with a flourishing open source project – Flux CD continues under the CNCF – that ultimately couldn't make the business side work. Richardson gives his take on what happened with the company and how the CNCF could help businesses like it in the future, as well as what he's got planned next.

In this episode, he discusses the tragedy of the commons vs enclosure, open source vs open products, BSL vs FSL and more.

Whether you’re a seasoned company with 10+ years of operations, or a startup that’s just getting off the ground, making sure you have a good culture of engineering is really important.  Not only will this have a significant impact on the folks on your team, it’ll make a big difference with hiring. When everyone knows that your company is the place to be when it comes to culture, attracting really good talent becomes that much easier.  But I was curious, what do some of the folks at incident.io think about engineering culture in general and how to best build it? Better yet, what about the engineering culture at incident.io? What’s it like? To answer all of these questions and more, I sat down with Lisa Karlin Curtis, Tech Lead, and Alicia Collymore, Engineering Manager, to get their perspectives on this incredibly important topic. We chat about what “culture” even means, why diversity is important, how teams can make sure their engineers feel empowered to share their perspectives and a whole lot more.
