DevOps Paradox Darin Pope & Viktor Farcic

#263: In an era where technology is evolving at an unprecedented rate, the role of a DevOps architect has become increasingly significant. This career path is not just about overseeing development and operations. It involves a deeper understanding of the entire system, requiring a unique blend of experience across development, operations, and beyond.
The role of a DevOps architect is nuanced, blending the lines between a developer, an operations professional, and ultimately, an architect of comprehensive systems. It's a position that one doesn't simply step into right out of college. Rather, it is the culmination of years of evolving through the tech ranks, acquiring a deep understanding of both the development and operational sides of the aisle.
In this episode, we speak with Ádám Szücs-Mátyás about his role as a DevOps Architect at a large SaaS company.

#259: Terminals have been around for decades, serving as the backbone of many workflows and operations in the tech world. From managing servers to local file manipulation, terminals offer a direct line to the heart of computing. However, with the advent of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), the terminal's prominence has waned among the general user base, though it remains a powerhouse for those who know how to wield it.
Wave Terminal has emerged as a beacon of innovation in the static terminal landscape, bringing with it a host of features that leverage today's technology without abandoning the terminal's foundational principles. This modern terminal solution integrates technology, specifically Electron and Go, to create a user interface that feels familiar yet vastly more powerful.
In this episode, Darin and Viktor discuss these topics in depth with Mike Sawka, the founder of Wave Terminal, shedding light on the innovative features and the vision for Wave Terminal's future.
