# Podcast recording — 2024-08-15
Recorded episode with Priya Sharma. Great conversation.

## Notes
- Episode theme: scaling mobile engineering teams and the unique challenges of shipping on platforms you do not control (iOS and Android release cycles, app store review, etc.)
- Priya described how her team restructured their mobile development workflow to support bi-weekly releases across both platforms, including the feature flag infrastructure and automated testing pipeline that made it possible
- Her experience as a mobile engineering director at a consumer fintech company gave her practical insights into the regulatory and security constraints that add complexity beyond what typical mobile development content covers
- Very well-paced recording; Priya is a natural communicator who balances technical detail with strategic thinking seamlessly
- Memorable insight: "The app store is your deployment pipeline's final boss. If you are not designing your release process around review times and rejection risks, you are going to have a bad quarter"
- Excellent audio quality; Priya recorded from a sound-treated room with a professional microphone setup

## Follow-up
- [ ] Send thank-you email to Priya
- [ ] Draft show notes with the bi-weekly release workflow diagram she mentioned
- [ ] Schedule editing with [[person-paco-furiani]]
- [ ] Create social media clips — the app store as "final boss" framing will resonate with mobile devs
