S8 E14: Beyond Static DORA Dashboards: Deploying Real-Time Git Metadata Parsing and Policy-as-Code Engines with Dan Lines of LinearB
Jul 18, 2023 · Season 8 · Episode 14 · 25 min
Metrics for all of your engineering leadership pains
Dan Lines is married, with a 3 year old daughter and a baby on the way. He has lived all over the US - 7 years in Boston, 5 years in LA, and he now lives in Upstate New York. He has always been into the creation of things, being the kid in high school burning and selling CD's, building computers on the side, or creating an early sports streaming platform, before streaming was a thing.
Before Dan founded his current company with his co-founder Ori, he was an engineering leader, with 100 engineers reporting to him. During that journey, he catalogued all of the pains he felt as a VP of Engineering. Post acquisition of his prior company, he decided to build a system to solve those pains.
This is the creation story of LinearB.
