Oncall

Charity Majors - On database outages, journey as a co-founder, thriving under pressure and growing as an engineer - #7

Charity Majors is the co-founder and CTO of honeycomb.io. We had a lot of fun speaking with Charity in this lively conversation! We learned about her journey from being an engineer to co-founding Honeycomb, what it was like being on-call when she was only 17, and staying calm during production incidents. We talked about various production outages throughout the episode. Charity also shares what it takes to build an awesome engineering culture, the engineer/manager pendulum, and qualities Charity looks for when hiring senior engineers.
