How do you explain Continuous Integration/Delivery and how has the explanation changed since you started the company? How has the culture around this topic changed?

CI/CD allows you to bring your product(s) to market faster. That's what it is all about at the end of the day in my opinion. It's a technical framework, but why every company that's creating software should use it, is because it allows them to create more value for their customers faster.

I think the dev community and our whole industry became more sophisticated when it comes to CI/CD. When we started, simply doing CI and still deploying manually every other week was considered "good". Now we see a lot more automation, a lot more tools in the space (e.g. Percy for visual testing, SourceClear for continuously scanning for security vulnerabilities, etc.) that companies can pick from (which is not just great; also means more tools to integrate for you as a company).
