Matthew Card discusses the intersection of leadership and inclusivity at the BBC. He explains how "changing the bar" rather than just raising it can transform team dynamics. Covering trust, psychological safety, and his "C.A.P.S." and "D.O.S.E." frameworks for resilience, he shares practical strategies for engineering leaders to eliminate toxic behaviors and empower diverse talent to thrive.

The company implemented a multi-layered quality framework that combines automated validations, machine-learning-based anomaly detection, and data contracts, while processing millions of daily booking transactions.
By Eran StillerAI-Powered Code Editor Cursor Introduces Dynamic Context Discovery to Improve Token-Efficiency
Cursor introduced a new approach to minimize the context size of requests sent to large language models.
