Got my feedback from my last job interview. tl;dr I didn't specifically answer one of the questions about OOP design. So basically turned down for not knowing exact Computer Science Trivia™. Why are we still hiring people based on trivia regurgitation & not on actual skills?

Pro-tip: If colleagues complain your C code is "unreadable" try using these variable names: • char broiled; • double burger; • short cake; • float icecream; • long story; • signed sincerely;

Continuous Deployment leads inexorably to the build/test/deployment pipelines being an essential part of the live system. They are how critical fixes get deployed. They influence architecture. The tooling must be operated as a live environment, not as a development environment.

The bosses we remember: 1 provided safe space to grow 2 opened career doors 3 defended us when we needed it 4 recognized and rewarded us 5 developed us as leaders 6 inspired us to stretch higher 7 led by example 8 told us our worked mattered 9 forgave us when we made mistakes

My latest blog post - time to stop asking whether the cloud is secure enough. The right question is the opposite: whether you can be secure enough outside of the cloud.
It's time to ask yourself: "Are you secure enough outside of the cloud?" amzn.to/2SsiWrO

If we truly want to improve, we need to be open to things that challenge our existing worldview. Let new information and data teach you new things.

You can replace your entire environment using #Containers and get rid of malware, frequently. I have one customer that does this every three days @cdavisafc #DOES18

The reason why “it depends” is the most common (& in actionable) response to the Q: “How do we do SRE”? (or devops?) .. is because it’s not about implementation. It’s about outcomes and those vary dramatically because it’s tied to the relationship you have with YOUR users.

I bet that almost every one of you is using open source... basically all applications contain open source. It’s important to understand the risk #DOES18 Jamie Specter from @CapitalOfficial

Burnout is like a canary in the coal mine... it warns you of a toxic work environment. Don’t make the person better or more resilient. MAKE THE WORKPLACE BETTER. @CMaslach #DOES18
