I often run into Business types or even Developers who are kind of fuzzy on what DevOps is. The TLDR I give is "you know your application and features? DevOps is *everything else*: databases, pipelines, permissions, networks, domains, certificates, architecture..." Here's a quick and breezy high-level explanation by National Treasure Nick Janetakis -- https://lnkd.in/gdMFCCbh

Insightful article by Jasmine Oliveira, Software Engineering Manager at Jellyfish. Jasmine explains why improving developer experience requires more than running surveys. By combining qualitative feedback with quantitative data, engineering leaders can finally push DevEx improvements to the top of the agenda. “Engineering leaders are in a great position to make the case for prioritizing developer experience by using data that’s easy to understand to business partners — drawing clear lines between experience, productivity, and business value. The result should propel developer experience to become the business priority it deserves to be.” To read the full piece from Jasmine, check out the link in the comments.

In our recent team retrospective at DNSimple, we recognized a growing concern: technical debt. Many teams face this challenge, but rather than viewing it as a burden, I approach it as a strategic deferred investment in our codebase's design. In my latest blog post, I define technical debt, its impact on software projects, and how we can align its management with our product and engineering roadmap. This post is for developers and non-technical stakeholders who want to understand the nuances of technical debt and how to manage it effectively. Check it out, and let’s continue the conversation on innovating sustainably while managing our technical debt wisely. https://lnkd.in/dcihZ4fE
