Faster CI/CD Builds + Building a Developer Tools Company with Kyle Galbraith

In this episode, Kyle Galbraith tells us about his company, Depot.dev, which is a way to make Docker builds and GitHub action runners complete much faster with basically no changes to your build step. Depot is growing like crazy and just surpassed *one million* builds per month. We looked at how he found the idea for Depot and some of the technology underlying the service.

Kyle also shares a ton of wisdom about building a company and specifically a developer tools company. This includes his experience in YC (including how hard he worked on his YC application) and the importance of having "model companies" that are a few steps ahead of you in the process. We talk about how the funding market has change and how he thinks about hiring, fundraising, and profitability.

His advice on company building and the focus on what's important is super helpful to those in a similar position.
