DOP 146: Context Means Everything in Security
#146: Who owns security? Is it the Development team? Is it the DevOps or Shared Services team? Is the the Security team? In this episode, we with speak with Dean Agron from Oxeye to determine what happens when you actually have all the context you need and how that can make the call on what security issues are important to remediate immediately and which ones can wait or even be ignored.

DOP 142: Do We Need Coding for DevOps?
#142: We answer a new variation on a question that we get a lot. Sure, we all know we need to know how to code if we are doing DevOps, but do we also need to know how to use development frameworks and potentially even how to connect to and use databases?

DOP 139: Is Markdown Good for Documentation?
#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? That's where it starts to get interesting. In this episode, we answer a question from Karl Webster where he asks "what do you use for documenting all your notes and how do you take notes when learning a new technology / application?"

DOP 137: Shifting Infrastructure Management Left
#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.
