What launching rockets taught this CTO about hardware observability
Austin Spiegel, CTO and co-founder of Sift, tells Ben and Ryan about his journey from studying film to working at SpaceX to founding Sift. Austin shares his perspective on software development in high-stakes environments, the challenges of hardware observability, and why paranoia is valuable in safety-critical engineering. Bonus story: Austin invited Elon Musk to speak at his student club…and he came!
Sift is an end-to-end observability stack for safety-critical hardware development. See what they’re up to on their blog.
We talked to SpaceX about their testing processes way back in 2021.
