Why post-mortem action items die

You can run the best debrief of your life. Honest timeline, blameless tone, real insights. People leave the room nodding. And then nothing happens. This is the last mile problem of post-mortems - and it's an easy trap to fall into. When you've just been through a stressful incident, getting it back up is the priority.

AI coding tools help you ship features faster than ever, but test coverage often can't keep up. In this video, we show you how CircleCI's Chunk autonomous CI/CD agent finds untested code in your codebase, writes tests to cover it, and opens a pull request for your review. What you'll learn: Chunk works directly inside your CI/CD pipeline, giving it access to your build history, test results, and coverage reports. That means smarter tests, not just more tests.

In the Age of AI, Taste Isn't About Aesthetics

AI can generate a UI in seconds. So what do designers actually bring to the table? Marcela, Principal Product Designer at Rootly and former Founding Designer at Ramp, has spent 20 years in design.
