## Description

You spent hours on code review and static code analysis and STILL broke production. It happens to the best of us, despite our best efforts. But were you looking in the right places, using the right set of tools, and making the most out of your tools?

In this talk, we will discuss why breaking production is still a problem today, despite the rise of AI and so many developer tools. What are some best practices to help improve the software development workflow and reduce rework? 

Join us for a live coding session with real-life examples of different scenarios of how vulnerabilities, legacy code, bugs, or even human errors were responsible for breaking production and could have easily been avoided.
