Dana Lawson - Netlify

This week we're joined by Dana Lawson, CTO at Netlify. We talk about her journey from the US Army to leading engineering teams at companies like GitHub, New Relic, and now Netlify. We discuss Netlify's evolution from JAMstack to AI-powered developer tools, including Agent Runners and their MCP server. We also explore the concept of "Agent Experience" (AX) as a new paradigm alongside UX and DX, and how hiring practices are evolving in the age of AI.Netlify: https://www.netlify.com/Agent Experience Hub: https://www.netlify.com/agent-experience/agentexperience.ax: https://agentexperience.ax/Agent Runners: https://www.netlify.com/platform/agent-runners/Netlify MCP Server: https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/netlify-mcp-server/Dana on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dglawson/Dana's LeadDev Profile: https://leaddev.com/community/dana-lawsonDana's UXDX Profile: https://uxdx.com/profile/dana-lawson/
