Code Story

Their tech. Their products. Their stories. In a tech startup, how do you get from an idea on the back of a napkin to a fully functioning product? Code Story is a podcast featuring tech leaders, reflecting the roads they travelled and the products they created. On the show, we interview tech visionaries, digging into the critical moments of what it takes to change an industry, and build (and lead) a team that has your back. Hosted by Noah Labhart, this show is a window into the digital startup world. In their own words, tech veterans share what it feels like to create a world class product, how to recover from critical mistakes, and how to scale your solution to the masses. This podcast is for the tech leader, CTO, CEO, developer, software architect, startup leader, disruptive visionary - or the curious minded individual, who wants to know what a builder goes through in creating world changing technology.

episode 11: S7 E11: Benjamin Wilms, Steadybit

Benjamin Wilms started his career in 1999 as a developer. In the little free time he has, he does mountain biking, spends time with his family, and visits the ocean a few hours away. For mountain biking, he finds that it helps him to keep life balanced away from a screen, and the ocean - well... he just likes to watch his kids play on the beach.

Seven years go, Ben started getting into the topic of Chao's engineering, while working as a consultant. As he learned about the tools on the market, he realized that to get the tool in production, it required him to understand all the codebase test coverage, without knowledge of SRE. He released on open source project of his own creation, and his approach got picked up by big name enterprises.

This is the creation story of Steadybit.
