Welcome to the Virgecast, the flagship podcast of Enterprise Certificate Hacks.

0:06.8

I'm your friend David Pierce and I am having a project day.

0:10.2

I feel like being an adult is just like a long unending list of maintenance tasks.

0:16.0

There's always things to hang up and things to take down and filters to change and sinks to clean and

0:21.0

did you know you're supposed to clean your garbage disposal and your

0:23.6

dishwasher? Apparently there's all kinds of stuff like that and rather than let it

1:12.4

1:28.1

than you think. So we're going to talk to the person who made Delta about the whole journey to get here and what it says about where we might be going next.
