So much great stuff in this episode. I love the different perspectives. I did feel that Gerhard got a little shut out in places. This may be due to Justin and Autumn just having such great chemistry, but I noticed we did not hear Gerhard for the entirety of “Host for fun vs enterprise” which is a 7:42 gap.

The focus on documentation is key though. And I will save this episode to come back to.

I really enjoyed this episode... And it brought up a bunch of thoughts:

Congrats to Autumn on the new job!
I'm very happy you had a chance to get Gerhard on before the CPU change (since it's the original pod)
Dagger sounds awesome and I want to try to switch my team to it...
I'm very happy you two are continuing on after the CPU change, because I feel like the pod continues to improve and you're hitting your stride
In addition to that, I'm on a team of product engineers who are also responsible for most of what it takes to run and maintain the app in production, so the content is more relevant than ever
The new name is fantastic :heart_eyes:

Thomas you're not wrong on that point, although Gerhard did have a nice lengthy response of his own to that section after listening to all the points (which is pretty in character for him)
