Deeper learning

As vehicles become increasingly software-defined, the complexity of development grows. This, in turn, necessitates a collaborative community and a culture in which developers can thrive. But how do you balance effectiveness with efficiency, and what’s the best way to gauge developers' feelings and thoughts about their jobs? Tune in to the conversation between Veronika and systems and feature engineer David Friberg as they explore the evolving dynamics of software development and the importance of cross-team communication.
