Everyone talks about the future of tech. Few talk about the consequences. ROOT CAUSE brings together senior operators. Engineers, DevOps leaders, founders, former CTOs. To dissect the real stories behind big technical decisions. What happens after the migration? After the pivot? After the AI integration? Our show is dedicated to answering what nobody tells you about scaling systems, what nobody tells you about leadership or the vicious hype cycles. If you’ve built, broken, fixed, and rebuilt systems at scale, this show is for you. Let’s root cause this.
