Motivating IT people to change, talking to developers

In the DevOps, cloud, platform world we're told that operations people starting working closely with developers. I've been asked "O RLY?" several times this week.

You know how things go.

Somedays, all of the sudden, it’s 4:17 and you have your last meeting of the day at 4:30, and it’s also your daughter’s third birthday, so you need to get to that. And while you managed to eat a really great sandwich, it also, turns out no one’s walked the dog all day!

Thankfully, I also had the pleasure of talking with Ben today about two topics I’ve been thinking a lot about this week: how can infrastructure and developers get over their acrimonious history and start talking with each more, and, some thoughts on the Spring Framework. I’m so harried that I don’t actually remember what those second thoughts were! But they were fun to talk about.

Check them out in this video:

Tomorrow should be the episode with just pictures. I have several fun ones saved up.

See y’all next time!
