#139: When you sit down to write documentation, do you start with a Google Doc or Microsoft Word? Hopefully neither. Hopefully you start with plain text. But how do you handle formatting?

#137: Many application developers have either been hearing about or having thrust upon them the concept of shifting left. But now in some places, even infrastructure is trying to get in on the game. However, to believe that application developers can correctly build, maintain, secure, and govern infrastructure is a failed experiment unless they are getting a lot of help. In trying to answer this question from Momodu, we think that we have a few possible actions that organizations can take to take this from failed experiment to a success.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox/   Books and Courses: Catalog, Patterns, And Blueprints https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/catalog/   Kubernetes Chaos Engineering With Chaos Toolkit And Istio https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/chaos/   Canary Deployments To Kubernetes Using Istio and Friends https://www.devopstoolkitseries.com/posts/canary/   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
