Taking the initiative. Prioritizing relationships. Doing the work nobody else wants to do. These are just some of the elements that contributed to Chris Yates’ rise from a developer to a DBA and, eventually, a Senior Vice President. As he explains to Steve Jones, “you are the CEO of your own brand.” Also in the episode: discover Chris’ thoughts on AI, the importance of community, and the one thing he’d now do differently if he were to start from scratch.

AI-assisted coding may speed up delivery, but it can also increase the risk around database changes. Here’s how Flyway helps teams stay in control. Tony and Tonie discuss how Flyway Enterprise helps teams build control into the database change process: immediate change visibility, continuous risk reduction, and secure, traceable deployment from commit to production.
