S8 E3: The Developer Flight Simulator: Simulating Production Melt-Downs and in a Safe Sandbox with Shem Magnezi, Co-Founder & CTO of Wilco

From Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders Noah Labhart | Podcast for Technical Founders & Startups

Shem Magnezi is from Tel Aviv, and started his software engineering career when he was in high school. It wasn't really professional, just hacking some stuff together, which is the way he learned the typical starting tools like HTML, Javascript, and the like. Post college, he served in the Israeli Military, in intelligence, and then moved into startups, then bigger companies like Facebook, and then - into his current venture. Outside of tech, he is a family man with 2 kids, and he loves to play and watch football (or soccer for us stateside). Throughout their time in the industry, Shem and his co-founders saw a big gap in the industry - between theoretical knowledge and what is actually done on the job in a company. They wanted to set out and build something to bridge that gap - an immersive experience, that not only prepares engineers... but takes them on a quest. This is the creation story of Wilco.
