Not just for developers, this episode will help business leaders in any department to serve their customers. Charl Coetzee, CUBE Chief Technology Officer, discusses:

• how he approaches technology as the CTO (beginning at 4:42),
• the downside of building seamless technology (starting at 11:25)
• how he decides what tools or technologies the CUBE team should be using (timestamp 22:25),
• how he evaluates what a customer wants (when sometimes they don't know themselves!) (starting at 30:22 and again at 48:21),
• the workflow management of development (53:49),
• how to evaluate technology honestly (1:02:51), and
• a look ahead for technology (1:06:33)

Though technology is ever-evolving, Charl gives key insight with examples from the past that bring clarity and practical ideas that you could implement into your personal or team practices today.
