Practical Operations is about the difference between running
your IT organization the "Right Way" and the Practical Way.
Where look at Hollywood’s inability to get technology in movies even remotely correct… this time, we’re talking about “The Net”, a 1995 Sandra Bullock movie, where so many things are just… wrong.
Where we discuss interviewing - good versus bad questions, cultural issues, and how to avoid common pitfalls, bias and other things that are problematic.
Where we discuss human input and output. Who are we kidding? We talked about mechanical keyboards, with very mild diversions into trackballs, trackpads and monitors. This is a notes-heavy episode, please look at the shownotes!
Where we discuss one of the fundamental physical constants that is always trying to bring us down - the speed of light - and how latency for round trip times impacts programming, systems design, and organizational behavior.
Where we discuss getting control of an existing, organically built cloud environment, and how to structure said control. Monolitic terraform? Hundreds of terraform projects? CloudFormations? Control Tower?
