DOP 230: Simplifying End-to-End Encryption With Smallstep Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

#230: In today's digital age, it's no secret that relying solely on passwords for security is no longer an effective solution. We all understand the risks associated with using just passwords, but the question remains: what other alternatives do we have at our disposal?

What if you could eliminate passwords all together and still make all your communications completely secure?

In this episode, we speak with Mike Malone, Founder and CEO at Smallstep, about his background with OpenID and OAuth and how increasing security today doesn't mean also increasing budgets.

DOP 229: The Evolution of Installing Applications into Kubernetes Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

#229: When Kubernetes was first released in September 2014, the only way we could get applications installed to the cluster was by using kubectl apply and big, ugly YAML files. Since that time, many tools have been introduced to help manage application installation into Kubernetes clusters.

However, no matter what tool you are using in 2023, under the hood, we're still just submitting those big, ugly YAML files to the Kubernetes. Once you realize this, things become much clearer.

In this episode, we take a stroll down memory lane of how it all started and what you should consider doing today when creating (or maybe not creating) the YAML files for your application.

DOP 228: The Customer Is the True North Star Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

#228: The Agile Manifesto is now more than 20 years old. However, even after all this time, instead of helping organizations create and deliver software faster to satisfy customer needs, many times Agile principles are turned into rigid processes that stifle innovation and limit customer satisfaction. Have far have we strayed from the core principles of the manifesto?

In this episode, we talk with Paul Stovell, CEO and founder of Octopus Deploy, about the realities of Agile in 2023. Also, find out about the backstory of how Paul was able to snag the octopus.com domain.

DOP 227: Layoff-Proofing Your Career Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

#227: Imagine this. You walk into your office and your manager pulls you to the side and says "Pack up your belongings. You've been made redundant. We wish you the best in your future endeavors."

Just like that, you no longer have a job.

In even more extreme cases, just because a company exists today does not mean that it will exist tomorrow. Think about Enron, Blockbuster, Compaq and many others.

At this point in history, it's not if, but when, will you be laid off and what will you do?

In this episode, we speak with Dagna Bieda, founder of theMindfulDev.com, about strategies to "layoff-proof" your engineering career, touching on topics like the role of AI in the industry, the importance of mental health, and the impact of our belief systems on our careers.

DOP 226: When Cloud Services Let Us Down Aug 30, 2023

In this episode, we break down an article that discusses what level of support and services we should expect from third-party providers.
