    Keep it small to make big changes, with Betty Junod

    Keep it small to make big changes, with Betty Junod

    You always hear that making a series of small changes is better than BIG BANG change. How does this really play out though? Doesn’t that seem a little...naive when it comes to large organizations doing the BIG and MISSION CRITICAL work? 

    In this episode, Coté talks with Betty Junod on this topic. She draws from many sources like her first hand experience as an executive and working with the DevOps and cloud native community. They also discuss making culture changes in organizations and how recent work to figure out how to determine ”business value.”

    What is a Service Mesh? And Why Would You Want One?

    The three of us are back to discuss what a service mesh is and why it exists as a stand-alone thing. The result we come to is that you want this kind of network control and management as its own layer, not something that’s built into the stack.

Interesting, thoughtful discussions about tech and people

I just finished the episode about HR at Pivotal, and really enjoyed it. The interviewers and guest had a lot of good, smart perspectives about how to treat employees and customers, and it was really interesting to hear what Pivotal is doing in the HR space. I've enjoyed previous episodes as well, and the guests are well-chosen. Audio quality with the guests has not always been the best, but they're understandable and it's worth listening to.

Bad Audio Bad Host

Terrible audio in almost all of the episodes. Host calls everyone GUEST instead of by their name.

Long time listener, first time caller

I’ve listened to every episode at least once, and several of them multiple times. Many of my favorite speakers appear in these episodes! I don’t always agree! But it’s so easy to listen to opposing views when they are supported with great data and stories!
