DOP 250: From Godfather of DevOps to Godfather of AI Feb 14, 2024

Show notes

#250: Sure, we can use Generative AI to write code for us and generate cool pictures...sometimes.

But who has the responsibility for making sure all that infrastructure stays up and running? Look no further than your favorite sysadmin or cloud engineer. There is nothing new under the sun...

In this 250th episode, we have our friend Patrick Debois back on to talk about how he's researching we can use Generative AI beyond just the typical use cases that we see today and why understanding how to integrate all these new tools together may be more important than learning how to be a prompt engineer (whatever that means).

DOP 249: How To Choose Between Open Source and Commercial Software Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

#249: One of the prominent discussions in the software industry is the concept of 'build versus buy.' Often the argument focuses on creating a whole system from scratch or opting for pre-built solutions.

But think about it. You never start from absolute zero. When you begin developing an application, it isn't devoid of pre-existing libraries or systems. It's about identifying the point on the spectrum from which you initiate your development journey.

In this episode, we speak with Hadi Chami from LEADTOOLS about how the key factors such as pricing, licensing model, support, maintenance, and the impact on the end product play significant roles in making this 'build versus buy' choice.

Show notes

DOP 247: Navigating the Nuances of Developer Relations Jan 24, 2024

Show notes

#247: What do you think of when I say "Developer Relations"? Is it a person that flys from conference to conference giving talks? Is it someone that is chasing you down to scan your badge in a booth? What if the answer to both of those questions is both yes and no?

In this episode, we speak with Lian Li about the realities of developer relations and how developer relations isn't just something you buy off the shelf.

DOP 245: Building Your Best Team Ever Jan 10, 2024

Show notes

#245: Imagine this. You think you've been hired into a team of all A players. Think Wayne Gretsky, Michael Jordan, Lionel Messi, etc. Instead, what's really happened is you've been assigned to the team that is nothing more than the people that played behind the people that played behind the A players. Yeah, you've been demoted to the third string team.

You think, ok, at least I made a team and I'm not bagging groceries (is that still a thing?) down at the local market. Now that you're on a team, how do you plug in and help make the team better?

In this episode, we speak with Dr. David Burkus about his latest book "Best Team Ever". We go into the 3 key areas that both the manager and the players need to understand in order to actually create a team that might even be able to beat a team of A players.
