Extinguishing Burnout

As tech companies implement all sorts of ways to increase their output, the often-undiscussed tradeoff is how it impacts employees. Most tech workers have struggled with burnout in a role, at a company, or even in the area of tech they’ve focused their career; some of us have even suffered through burnout without noticing it: we only became aware when friends and family intervened to let us know how off-the-rails our work/life balance had become. In episode 43, we take a look at the signs, symptoms, causes, and strategies for:

Your Profile Tells Me You’re Perfect for this Amazing Podcast Opportunity

Bring up the topic of tech industry recruiting with any developer and you’re likely to get an ear-full: stories of recruiters treating candidates disrespectful, clueless recruiters who don’t know any of the acronyms, recruiters continuing to talk to you even after you’ve asked them to stop… the list goes on and on. In fact, it’s so prevalent, Twitter and Tumblr accounts have popped up just to make fun of recruiters. But why is recruiting so broken in our industry? Are all recruiters like that? And is there anything all of us—companies, recruiters, and candidates—can do to make the experience a bit better (and more efficient!) for everyone? Join us as we put recruiter Sam Whooley through the gauntlet for:

Scaling Your Self-Service as a Service

Our topic for Episode 37 was originally on scaling self-service of configuration management (the source code kind, not the infrastructure kind!) good practices, but quickly morphed into a discussion of what organizations need to pay attention and foster to support their tools teams in their often-cited mission of creating a self-service culture and self-service infrastructure. Paul and Sascha square off over the notions of traditional “service” teams and the newer notion of integrated “tools” (“DevOps?”) teams. We also touch on warning signs for automating self-service processes, including in the CM space, really examining how and why you convert which processes into self-service, ways to get teams to buy into your self-service initiatives, and what’s in the best interests of the entire system that is your software development organization. Join us as we discuss the finer points of:

Infrastructure As A Service… You’re Responsible For

To ring in 2014, the panel discusses some of the core elements of release engineering infrastructure for all sorts of applications, from web services to shipped-software. We talk about the challenges of coming into a new environment and having to support an existing infrastructure, a few methods for changing taking the infra over and starting to really own, and the components every build and tool infrastructure needs to address to be considered “operationalized.” We revisit some topics we’ve discussed in previous shows, but it’s always a good checklist to run through to see if you’ve got them covered in:
