Summary

Many engineering teams run post-mortems when there is a failure or error. The team needs to come together to discuss what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again.

    Embrace The Void

    Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.

Many engineering teams run post-mortems when there is a failure or error. The team needs to come together to discuss what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again.

But what if we could anticipate and prevent these failures before they happen? Enter the pre-mortem.

Pre-mortems are a powerful tool that the best product teams at Google, Meta, Stripe, and others use regularly to increase the probability of a successful product launch and avoid difficult-to-recover failures.
