Lessons When Scaling From 0–130 Devs
MURAL has gone through enormous growth in the past two years and Kirby Frugia, VP of Engineering, joins the Dev Interrupted podcast to discuss the ins and outs of rapidly scaling engineering organizations.

- The open source methods Kirby uses at MURAL to onboard new team members
