How to Think Like a Platform Engineer

How do you go from launching apps to leading platforms? This week on Tech Council, Duncan sits down with Chris Boyd—a mobile dev veteran turned platform engineering leader—to talk about what changes when your team grows, your stack evolves, and your priorities shift. They talk React Native, metrics, AI, leadership, and what it takes to balance product demands with long-term engineering health. Chris is also on the verge of launching something new—so you’ll get a peek behind the curtain of what’s next in agent development. Hit play. This one’s packed.
