Murrad is back.
The DevOps mentor whose story started with someone listening to this podcast on a jog. We cover the grifter vs builder question, the interview where the panel had no questions left, why he would skip the typical coding path in the AI era, pricing your work without losing your sincerity, and the skill stack that actually gives a business a chance. Recorded in one honest sitting, disruptions included.
We're doing this live.
