Not saying no to a bad call can cost you far more than an awkward conversation ever would. We were pitching schools on something nobody wanted, with no real answer to “why?” other than “the CEO said so.” Months of back-and-forth later, most of it ended up in a closet. If you think it’s the wrong call, speak up, and come with alternatives. Watch the full IT Leadership Lab session — linked above.

Ever had a broken test stop your flow? In this Bitbucket Blitz video, we look at how to setup self-healing pipelines using Bitbucket and Bitbucket Agentic Pipelines. Instead of just failing and waiting for a human, the pipeline triggers an agent when a build or test breaks on a feature branch. The agent reads the logs, finds the root cause in the source code, creates a fix branch, and opens a pull request ready for review.

AI is writing code faster than ever. But what happens after the code is written? Harness CEO Jyoti Bansal introduces four AI agents built to automate the software delivery lifecycle: Software Delivery Agent – Automate builds, deployments, and infrastructure management.
