Twitter’s video deals mean it’s giving up on business model innovation
So says Ben Thompson in his newsletter today: This is why Twitter’s increased focus on securing these video deals feels like such an admission of failure: the company is basically admitting that, despite the fact it contains some of the best content — given to it for free — in the world, it simply can’t…

Cloud-native at Comcast, working with Pivotal – Highlights
I’m doing a podcast with Comcast in a few weeks, so I’ve been going over all their public talks on their cloud-native efforts. They’ve been working with Pivotal since around 2014 and are one of the more impressive customer cases with over a 1,000 applications now on Pivotal Cloud Foundry. Here are some highlights from the…

But it has a big payoff.” Prime momentum: “Mr Nowak reckons the company had 72m Prime members last year, up by 32% from 2015.” Cloud: “Last year AWS’s revenue reached $12bn, up by more than…

Advice on introducing DevOps from Merrill Corp & SPS Commerce – Highlights
Nicely moderated by Bridget. Some of my notes and highlights: Amy talks about pace of change, sustaining it in the beginning, etc. The amount of time it took us to get going was a surprise – was longer. If you can start to show results early, it helps build up momentum. “Having enough wins, like…

If compliance is so important, bake it into the platform
Can we take that governance and work with the platform team to codify, to automate that which they were doing on a per application basis – that’s, quiet frankly slowing down the delivery of the software – can we take that governance and can we have them work with the platform team to codfiy, to…

We’re getting exactly the government IT we asked for
If there’s one complaint that I hear consistently in my studies of IT in large organizations, it’s that government IT, as traditionally practiced, is fucked. Compared to the private sector, the amount of paperwork, the role of contractors, and the seeming separation between doing a good job and working software drives all sorts of angst…

Not actually a DevOps talk

Getting Started — picking your first cloud native projects, or, Every Digital Transformation Starts with One Project
This post is pretty old and possibly out of date. There’s updates on this topic and more in my book, Monolithic Transformation. Every journey begins with a single step, they say. What they don’t tell you is that you need to pick your step wisely. And there’s also step two, and three, and then all…

Deciding where the Docker ecosystem will make money
The Docker forking hoopla is providing an interesting example, in realtime, of how open communities figure out monetization. #RealTalk: Open communities are not immune to C.R.E.A.M. One of the most important decisions an open source community makes is where and how it will make money. I always liked Eclipse’s take because they’re mega clear on this…

Questioning DRY
tl;dr Recently, I’ve been in conversations where people throw some doubt on DRY. In the cloud native, microservices mode of operating where independent teams are chugging along, mostly decoupled from other teams, duplicating code and functionality tends to come more naturally, even necessarily. And the benefits of DRY (reuse and reducing bugs/inconstancy from multiple implementation…

Self-motivated teams lead to better software
This post is pretty old and possibly out of date. There’s an updated version of it in my book, Monolithic Transformation. In contrast to the way traditional organizations operate, cloud native enterprises are typically comprised of self-motivated and directed teams. This reduces the amount of time it takes to make decisions, deploy code, and see if the results…

A few weeks back I was on a panel for a Solarwinds conference (done all online, in Solarwinds style, of course). Check out the recording a above (or just a 1 minute excerpt if you don’t have time). There’s also an article covering the discussion. For some reason we started talking a lot about QA,…
