The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance “Zone of proximal development”

(episode art by Ashton Rodenhiser) Ashton’s ignite at devopsdays Texas Mike Tozer’s talk at DevSecCon Visual Communication Method - ebook by Ashton

In this episode, Jess talks with guest Cat Swetel about her career, writings, and thoughts on DevOps. Jess: “Cat is known internationally for her Penguin Power Stance and for standing on the edge of now!” Cat: “I like working with things on the edge of now. So that’s either things that shouldn’t exist anymore or shouldn’t exist yet.” Jess and Cat talk about projects that fit Cat’s definition of the edge of now. Cat: “I do believe that DevOps is inherently feminist, because it puts the emphasis on that maintenance and reproductive work rather than producing working software.” Jess brings up Eric Evans’ concept of software as gardening. The panel discusses reproductive vs productive work. Cat talks about what she sees in healthy DevOps teams. Jess and Cat talk about the challenges of working with legacy systems. The panel discusses metacommunication and Gregory Bateson. Cat: “In that situation, everyone is operating as specified but it’s still not working! So that’s when it becomes necessary to not have so much of that transactional interaction…It has to be something more generative.” Cat and Jess talk about the ethics of “care vs fair”. Cat dives into how feminist theory has impacted her thinking on DevOps and systems. Cat: “If we valued caring for the systems and caring for each other, rather than thinking fair or unfair…Let’s check, are we caring for these systems, are we being mindful? Then rad, let’s keep going.”

Does tech ask more from its community than other industries? What does it mean to be part of a community and what is expected of us?

DevOps Party Games Took over from Bridget as global chair for devopsdays Did “less” speaking this year (“only” 9-10 talks) 90s Sci-Fi Roundup Joe’s Babylon 5 talk at DevOpsDays Madison 2016 Joe’s Top Babylon 5 Episodes Season 1, ep 3: Born to the Purple, Great Londo episode. Season 2, ep 20: The Long, Twilight Struggle. End of the Narn/Centauri War. One of the best FX shots of the whole show. One of the best Londo/G’Kar eps. Season 3, ep 20: And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place. More good Londo/G’Kar. Season 4, ep 14: Moments of Transition. End of the Minbari Civil War. Good Delenn ep, better Neroon ep. Season 5, ep 8 Day of the Dead. Duh. Joe’s Worst Babylon 5 Episodes Season 1 ep 10: Believers. Basically Christian Scientists in space. I could have chosen TKO (Bloodsport in Spaaace!) or Infection (“He took a pretty bad hit!”). Believers is super-preachy and it has the pedigree of being written by David Gerrold (wrote the tribbles ep of original recipe Trek) Season 2 ep 18: Confessions and Lamentations. A deadly plague threatens the Markab. Another weak Dr. Franklin ep. Also, a deadly plague, read the room B5! Season 3 ep 18: Walkabout. Hey, look!
