The Stack Overflow Podcast - Why David Barrett, CEO of Expensify, still takes his turn on PagerDuty

Expensify is an expense management solution that integrates with your travel, ERP, and finance/accounting software. Check out their full list of integrations.

Expensify engineers rely on Stack Overflow for Teams to make knowledge accessible and shareable, rather than wading through swathes of documentation. Read the case study.

Flat organizations like Expensify have minimal or no middle management, meaning there’s no management layer between staff and executives. A similar model for decentralized management is Holacracy.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Prabhjot Singh, Pyze

Prabhjot Singh has been in enterprise software for the last 22 years - so he has seen a thing or 2. He joined Citibank out of school, and did a leadership program there for 10 months. Post that, he progressed into the startup world... and never left. He got to be apart of early stage growth, acquisitions, and scaling businesses over a short period of time. He's married, and the father of a four year old - which he notes keeps him sane during his startup life. He mentions that a huge blessing from the pandemic has been the time he's been able to spend with his wife and daughter, working on a fully remote team. They started hiking during the pandemic, to balance the lack of activity, and of course to use all of their daughter's energy so she will sleep at night.

He started out his current venture, he started out in the B2C space. When they weren't seeing the user growth they needed, they pivoted their capabilities fit the enterprise, over the average Joe consumer... with the mission of making enterprises successful. In doing so, they realized that it wasn't just the application - it was the process.

This is the creation of Pyze.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 E7: Brian Vallelunga, Doppler

Brian Vallelunga loves to build things - products, companies, or silly things on the side. In Elementary school, he was asked by one of his friends, "why can't you put a movie on your phone?". This got Brian's mind racing, and he went home, ripped a movie into the specific format for his flip phone, and shared it immediately with his friend. Post that, he competed in science fairs, even at the state level. One of the projects, he built a craft that was lighter than a fingernail, and flew without wings or engines.

Brian led a portion of the engineering team at Uber, after inserting himself as an intern into the right meetings, which awarded him interesting projects. At the same time, he was building a crypto marketplace on the side, but struggling to get it launched. After taking a trip to reset, his mind kept coming back to a problem he faced while attempting to launch the marketplace - and it was surrounding managing environment variables and secrets. And his community of developers confirmed the need.

This is the creation story of Doppler.
