Private cloud, beans and franks, and bathrooms – Coté Memo #29
There was some interesting container orchestration news this week which we discussed in Software Defined Talk. If you’re into Slack, I started a Slack channel for Software Defined Talk listeners. There’s other channels in there, of course, but if you’re into extremely low-traffic stuff – or want to make it higher traffic, send me a…

Private cloud rules, containers, IT still (mostly) blows – Coté Memo #25
I’m at DevOpsDays Austin this week. This must be the 4th or 5th one, and I’ve been to all of them. It’s a good show, put on by good people. Next week I’ll be at OSCON in Austin (find a discount code over in this week’s show-notes). There’s mucho links this week, I even left…

No one likes being told their dead, dev skills, books to read – Coté Memo #23
It’s the end of the year – might as well be over once I wrap up today. On the other hand, if you’re in sales, it’s hardly the end of the year. It might be the most white-knuckling two weeks left. I’m sure glad I don’t do that work. Infrastructure Software in 2016 summerized Coté…

The many meanings of “DevOps,” legacy software, & adulthood – Coté Memo #22
I’m in New York today for a quick meeting, ostensibly on DevOps, but as ever on how organizations can do software better. “DevOps” has increasingly become the term people use when they mean “doing all that new stuff, in new ways.” Vendors, like Pivotal, have tried to use the phrase “cloud native” to describe it,…

Largile, living with nudists, containers, & jobs – Coté Memo #21
It’s turkey time! In the US at least. There’s a few pieces of my content below and some links. I’m hoping to just have two more trips this year, but we’ll see what Q4 demands have. I’ll be at the Gartner AS&S conference in December. Come on by the Pivotal booth to say hi if…

Getting paid to podcast, trump’s possible effects on tech – Coté Memo #20
The long break is coming up – Thanksgiving and then Christmas, the holidays as it were. For sales people, Q4 of course is anything but a break, so hug your sales person. Getting paid, podcast edition I got a few offers sponsoring the Software Definded Talk podcast. It looks like we could get about $75…

Help me finish this agile PDF, hear @bwhichard complain about Agile – Coté Memo #19
It’s the day before elections in the US. If you haven’t already, go out and vote. Kim and Cormac are up in Ohio block walking to get out the vote, which is amazing. In retrospect, I should have gone with them. I’ll have to remedy that for the next elections, about two year’s time I…

You’re not really Agile, airports, hitting yourself & absurd AI TAMs – Coté Memo #18
There’s not much to say at the moment, just some travel here and there before Thanksgiving and then Christmas. The end of the year is fun, it cools down and you get to see family. I’m trying to wrap up my big PDF for this year, the “second edition” of my cloud native journey book, check out…

Smelly coders, profitless stacks, & digtal whatnot – Coté Memo #17
Make sure to go vote, early if possible! This issue is a round-up of some links and content I’ve been up to since last time. I’ve had the iPhone 7 Plus for several weeks now. I really, really like it. I was afraid it’d be too big, but I think it’d perfect. I just updated to…

Coté Memo #16 – Outsourcing & DevOps, Lovecraft, 38% DevOps penetration
Fall is finally coming to Austin, which means it’s nice and cool. With a long lull in travel, I’ve been working on a second edition of my “cloud native journey” PDF. See a fragment of it below, on outsourcing. Meanwhile, I’m reading through the DevOps Handbook to write a review. Outsourcing and DevOps, it’s a…

Back at Dell, Docker Forking, Healthcare IT, & DevOps – Coté Memo #15
With summer over, there’s a new round of conferences, and my kids are back at school. My 6-year-old, Cormac, is starting 1st grade. We looked around at lot of schools for him and settled on the Lake Travis STEM Academy. I went to public school all my life – and a state college (I mean,…

Coté Memo #14 – Wet Phones, Podcasts, and #S1P
Since last time, I was at SpringOne Platform and took a week off for beach-time. Both were fun. I have very little travel over the next few, well, months. I’ll be speaking up at DevOpsDays Dallas, Sep 15th and 16th. With this “downtime” – we’ll see if I actually do it – but I’m hoping…

Coté Memo #13 – LAS Twice, Circle of Code
I’ll be in Las Vegas two weeks in a row, which is a rarity. Las Vegas was a frequent destination when I was an analyst at RedMonk and 451: big vendors like IBM and Microsoft love to put on shows here. I suppose it’s cheap, easy to get to, and has rooms a-plenty. The perfect…

Coté Memo #12 – The Gibberish of PaaS, Multi-cloud, Agile, etc.
Last week I had a tiny tour of Poland, speaking in Warsaw and in Devoxx in Krakow. It was fun! I got to give the long version of my “Surviving and Thriving in BigCo’s talk” and also the “Better Ways of Doing Software” stump speech, as it were. Tragically, I missed the pigs on a…

Coté Memo #11 – Why would MSFT buy LinkedIn? Lots-o-links too!
What’s more delightful than finding a cup of coffee you forgot about earlier in the morning? Bonus coffee, more than you thought was left. I have some trips coming up, not least of which is the week in Poland. I’ll be speaking at a meet-up in Warsaw and then twice at Devoxx.PL in Kraków. Hopefully…
