Link: What’s Hot In Insurance Tech In 2019?
The business backbone, the core systems, burden digital transformation strategies. Insurers spend about two-thirds of finite tech budgets on these run-the-business systems. More nimble competitors are spending more on digital tech. And this run-the-business spend is growing. Tech leaders need to demonstrate business value of these maintenance and ops investments. Benjamin Clarke, the CTO of Bold Penguin, argued that “the project mentality of insurance companies leads to them not building anything interesting but just replatforming again, delivering the exact same experience.

And this is where DevOps tool vendors now see opportunity. The mounting tax of maintaining tools has grown so extensive that offering an all-in-one solution may just be the trick to get development teams unstuck and the innovation train rolling even faster.

Doing the @bobbrindley. (I asked for extra pickles. The clerk was confused. I asked again, even, “can I pay for them?” And the assistant manager type looked over his shoulder and said a firm “no.” I mean, I don’t want to fuck with McDonald’s global supply chain and bring down their whole ERP system, causing some kind of “unanticipated gherkin headwinds” on their quarterly call ["we took a q3 hit due to unexpected demands for extra toppings in the Netherlands. We can't really blame the Benelux managers, they can always be trusted. We've hired PwC to investigate and we believe it's the deliberate work of a rogue Texan. This person of interest ordered something they (we're not sure how this individual self-identifies yet and I’d like to take this chance to remind you that we are committed to diversity!) termed 'extra pickles.’ Due to our dedication to customer service, the staff on hand gave the individual five extra pickles. Rolled up to our EMEA and then global revenue for this quarter, this unexpected - and, frankly, bizarre - fulfillment of pickle satisfactuals has required us to adjust guidance for the quarter, sadly, downwards. We've notified local authorities and are cracking all US passports until this is solved. Now we'll take the first question from Goldman..."] or anything...but...pickles?) From instagram
Link: Ignore the hysteria, Cloud Foundry is just fine
Sure you can do a lot of things with Kubernetes. It’s great, but Cloud Foundry is designed to make “Happy developers,” as Comcast open-source senior director Nithya Ruff put it at the Cloud Foundry Summit. Cloud Foundry’s audience, as Karl Isenberg, one of its developers, explained on StackOverflow, is “enterprise application devs who want to deploy 12-factor stateless apps using Heroku-style buildpacks.”
