7:30pm - It's ok to fail - Aubrey Stearn

At PizzaHut Digital Ventures everyone has a number, it either represents the number of pounds lost or number of pizzas we couldn’t sell, usually, these numbers come from personal mistakes. We’re never proud of these numbers in the moment but when we look back those failures have paved the way to our DevOps success.
