In the NOC for the Holidays
Firmly in the holiday season, the Crew discusses the duties this time of year for RelEng and DevOps teams: what kind of activities are these teams taking care of this time of year, should releases be going out the door, and does it make sense to keep these teams “spun up” this time of year? Join us as we discuss what it’s like to be stuck:

Languages Du Jour
To get into the holiday spirit, the Crew looks at the various programming languages used in the release engineering and DevOps space: is there a language that “binds it all together?” If so, what language holds that title, and why? Is that language shifting? And if so, what’s the driving force behind the shift? Join us as we look over the menu of:
