Platform Engineering on your mind? ⚡
Recently, Cortex's very own Head of DevRel, Justin Reock, alongside other interested panelists met up for a 1-hour roundtable on all things platform engineering and developer productivity.
Among topics, hear his perspective on psychological safety and how a general lack of it with developers is a productivity killer 💀 ....and how IDPs inherently boost it!

And he broke down everything that is happening in the hottest competition in tech 👇
The LLM wars.
Klue’s CTO, cofounder (and some might say Jason Smith’s better half) Sarathy Naicker joined us to share:
↘️ Why the big players are pricing dumping down to outrageous prices
🤖 The strategy behind open models and proprietary data as a competitive advantage
🚩 His predictions for how the market grab race will play out
Awesome to have one of the original minds behind building Klue’s product dropping his wisdom on how this market will play out.
