ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Great software doesn’t build itself. Behind every breakthrough product is a team making the right calls—on architecture, hiring, and the trade-offs that shape what gets pushed to prod.
The Commit & Push podcast is where technology meets the human side of software development. I’m your host Damien Filiatrault, Founder and CEO of Scalable Path, and in this podcast we’ll go beneath the surface to explore the strategies, decisions, and hard-earned lessons that drive successful digital products. From hiring top developers to embracing emerging tech without losing the human touch, we cut through the noise and focus on what works.
Whether you’re a CTO, engineering leader, or hands-on developer, you’ll get real-world insights from industry veterans, deep dives into emerging technologies, and a no-BS look at what it takes to build and scale great software.
