Coté Memo – Issue #3
Things are thin this episode as I took some time off for family. “An ongoing battle” “Beer versus scientist represented a kind of schism between the banality of speech versus the originality of thought. An ongoing battle.” From Authority, delightfully “new weird.” Coté Content DevOps isn’t just about the new: It’s about cleaning up the…

Coté Memo #081: The best steak I’ve ever eaten, and the slow train problem
Tech & Work World How Microservices Fixes the Slow Train Problem I write little columns for the internal Pivotal newsletter we have sometimes. Here’s one that’s about to go out. The ideas of “dependencies” and “coupling” are important touch points for understanding and conveying the software delivery benefits of a microservices approach to architecture. “Coupling”…

Coté Memo #080: Come on, register for this God damn webinar
This week is a lull in travel. I’m closing out the year by going to lots of DevOpsDays (Charlotte, where I’m speaking, and Silicon Valley next week), a few internal summits, and my first Gartner show, where I’m speaking in a sponsored slot.

Coté Memo #079: No Comment, Slack Behavior
Tech & Work World No Comment Big news for the company I work in this week. Sadly for my desires to write about and link to interesting stories on it, I have to take a pass. It’s bad form for employees to comment on any of this stuff; and since I worked at Dell on…

Coté Memo #078: Spiceworld 2015, Spiceworks Momentum, Enterprise Use, and DevOps
Tech & Work World I was at Spiceworld, briefly, last week. This is Spiceworks’ big user, annual conference in Austin; they have one in London as well.

Coté Memo #073: If you like tater-tots, go to Minneapolis
I’m in transit between Minneapolis and San Francisco right now. The MSP airport is delightful, with a long mall at the base and concourses reaching out, it seems civilized.

Coté Memo #072: Since last time…
It’s been forever since a memo! Here’s this week’s. I’ve tried to craft a work-flow that will allow me to collect links I want to share, in addition to shameless self-promotion and the occasional commentary in here…and actually send these out weekly. We’ll see what happens. Travel I’ve been traveling a lot recently and have…

Coté Memo #069: Chili Cheese Tots, shift key avoidance syndrome
Follow-up, Follow-forward The column I excerpted from last time is up, over at FierceDevOps: Software-defined businesses need software-defined IT departments. Tell me what you think; they asked me to write a monthly piece, so I’d love to get some ideas for topics going: got any? I got some good feedback on the podcast sponsorship meanderings.…

Coté Memo #068: Are they really making $48,000 a month just talking about Apple?
Tech & Work World Podcasting Rates Brandon shared some podcast revenue estimates with me from the Hot Pod newsletter recently. I’m all for there being lots of money in podcasting, but they seem bonkers high: Then there’s Standard Broadcast Co., independently produced shows that hang a banner under the same ad sales network. This includes…

Coté Memo #000: No jokes here.
Tech & Work World “What kind of company do you think we are?” Here’s some excerpts from a FierceDevOps column I submitted yesterday.
