Amal Hussein left the browser behind. Now she's at Istari, working on software development for aerospace, and the conversation covers what the SDLC actually looks like in 2026 when your deployment target might be orbiting the Earth. This is not a web app episode.
The technical specifics are what make this worth your time. Hussein and hosts Jerod Santo and Adam Stacoviak work through Jevons paradox as it applies to modern tooling, reference the AWS Re:Invent Blue Origin keynote, and yes, moon vacuums come up. The show notes point to a book called Frictionless and the Istari Digital platform, both worth investigating before or after you listen.
The episode runs with a 21-minute bonus segment behind Changelog++ membership. If aerospace software pipelines, the future of dev tooling outside consumer tech, and what ambitious engineering orgs are actually building right now sounds relevant to your work, this one is not optional.
