John Hyland is an expert on making early career engineers successful. They led up the Ignite program at New Relic, which was an incredibly innovative program that was so good they expanded it to more senior levels. They go into some detail about how they set up and adapted the program. They also give lots of advice on hiring for both early career and later career engineers. 

After that, we did a retrospective on deconstructing a Ruby monolith at New Relic. It was a large, complicated project, and some parts of it didn't go as well as we expected. We dug into what we could learn from that that applies to all large, complex software projects. 

Finally, John brings up the Preventable Problems Paradox, and we discuss how to incentivize better behavior at companies besides just firefighting.
