Building Code More Responsibly: A Mental Model Shift - DevOps 112
Enjoy this philosophical conversation around building code more responsibly and how ethics and accountability is to be integrated into the DevOps industry. Eric Tank joins the show and shares his perspective on how to “develop for deprecation”. Building a code that is documented, tested, monitored, and deployed is important, but can you easily pass it off to someone else, or be able to walk away from the code it entirely? Johnathan joins by saying that “software is never done until it’s deleted.” They finish the discussion referencing apprenticeship models and how accountability in this way could parallel other industries.SponsorsTop End DevsRaygun | Click here to get started on your free 14-day trialCoaching | Top End DevsLinksEvolutionary Design Without* TestsMastering Evolutionary Design - Jonathan HallTwitter: Erik Tank ( @eriktank )PicksEric- GitHub: ajeetdsouza/zoxideJillian- Get an elliptical for health and exerciseJillian- BookBubJonathan- Razer Kiyo Pro Streaming WebcamJonathan-Jonathan Hall's Boldly Go YouTube ChannelWill- PulumiSpecial Guest: Erik Tank.Sponsored By:Coaching | Top End Devs: Do you want to level up your career? or go freelance? or start a podcast or youtube channel?
