About

Software delivery is changing fast. For the engineers doing the building, every day feels a bit like entering a brand new game: the rules we thought we finally understood yesterday have been rewritten today, and the only way to win is to talk to other players about the moves they’re making in real time.

What’s been preventing our team from feeling blocked, stuck, or discouraged has been reading real-life experiments and stories from our peers. And it made us wonder: What if we launched a place to share our own stories, our most useful tips and tactics, minus the fluff, exactly as the experiments unfold?

That was the genesis of the Confident Commit Substack. We’re glad you’re here.

When you subscribe, one of three things lands in your inbox every week:

Our Loop Lab column is field notes from CircleCI engineers: these are the real experiments, as they ran, written by the engineers who ran them. The kind of thing you’d only hear if you were in the room.

Our newsletter uncovers the data behind how software actually gets delivered. We dig into millions of real workflows to surface the benchmarks, trends, and signals worth paying attention to, then translate them into something you can actually use.

Our podcast is CTO Rob Zuber in conversation with the engineering leaders and practitioners navigating what’s next in software delivery. What they’re seeing, what they’re trying, and what they’re learning along the way.

Whether you’re setting the strategy or deep in the loop, this is your invitation into the conversation.
