🤔 The Marmite Tech LeadRowan Gill, Senior Engineering Consultant

A personal dive into Rowan's experience as a first-time tech lead, exploring the emotional and rational pros and cons that came with the role for a developer, and offering advice for those thinking of stepping into the role.

🔧 Running services in the darkKevin Kuszyk, Cloud Architect, and Kathryn Dale, Senior Engineering Consultant

A behind-the-scenes look at taking unknown, broken services and turning them into well-supported, working systems - fast.

🤖 Inside the mind of an AI sceptic engineerLuke Towell, Senior Engineering Consultant

How can engineers use AI to increase everyday efficiency? Hear from a self-professed sceptic on adopting AI tools in engineering, what worked, and what didn’t.
