GitLab’s CEO on Why the Next Great Developer Might Not Write Code | Bill Staples

Bill Staples has spent 30 years redefining how the world writes, ships, and secures code.

He breaks down the discipline of managing energy instead of hours, why weekly operating cadences beat quarterly plans, and how AI will 10× software engineers by auto-debugging code and closing security gaps.
