OpenLate @ OpenDNS - Move Fast and Not Break Things

Tonight, Adil Aijaz, CEO and co-founder of Split Software, will be giving a tech talk. See below for the abstract.

Abstract

Mark Zuckerburg described Facebook's early culture as 'move fast and break things'. As a distributed systems engineer, I find that moving fast and breaking things are often opposites of each other. In this talk, I am going to present a few lessons I've learned in modern web architecture that enable organizations to move fast, without breaking things.

Bio
