This week we celebrate the holidays and roll into 2019 with the legendary Venkat Subramanium (@Venkat_S). In this episode Venkat shares his philosophy towards work and his approach to lifelong learning. There is no more inspiring way to ring in the new year than to spend 30 minutes with Venkat absorbing a few pearls of wisdom. Enjoy!
Special thanks to hooksounds.com and Rodrigo Vicente for the special holiday music!
With the conclusion of ArchConf 2018 we've wrapped the 2018 tour. This week I sit with Neal Ford of ThoughtWorks. We talk about the trade-offs of software architecture, how to identify those, and the 19th edition of the ThoughtWorks Tech Radar. Neal co-authored "Building Evolutionary Architectures" along with Rebecca Parsons and Patrick Kua. You can learn more about some of the ideas in the book at evolutionaryarchitecture.com.
"Software Architecture is the stuff you can't google." There's no one answer.
In this episode, I interview hands-on architect, speaker and trainer, Mark Richards. He shares some perspective on analyzing software architectures, and what it takes to continuously review and iterate on existing architectures.
With the Thanksgiving holiday fast approaching in the United States, we've decided to change gears on the NFJS podcast, pulling back the curtain on what it's like to be a traveling speaker. In this episode, I sit with Steve Pousty, who shares his experience as a Developer Advocate. This episode is packed with advice for anyone who has ever considered speaking. Listen to the end for a special giveaway and, of course, reach out if you're interested in taking the next step and giving some tech talks yourself!
Enjoy and happy holidays!
This week I get to sit with Jessica Kerr (aka jessitron) to discuss a topic developers love to hate – yak shaving. Jessica takes a different approach to Yak Shaving and sees it not as an inconvenience, but as an opportunity. Listen to learn more!
This week I'm joined by Steve Pousty, author of Getting Started in OpenShift. In this episode he gives me some insight into what kubernetes is, why everyone is talking about it, and why we should give it a look even if we're outside of the traditional devops space.
This week on the NFJS podcast I'm joined again by LLewellyn Falco where we discuss Mob Programming.
Mob programming is a software development approach where the whole team works on the same thing, at the same time, in the same space, and at the same computer. This is similar to pair programming where two people sit at the same computer and collaborate on the same code at the same time. With Mob Programming the collaboration is extended to everyone on the team, while still using a single computer for writing the code and inputting it into the code base.
What are the strategies that make this more or less successful? How can we experiment with this in our team, Llewellyn gives us insights on this and more.
This week our host is joined in the studio with Rod Cope, speaker at the upcoming <a href="https://techleadersummit.io" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Tech Leader Summit</a>, and we Discuss the future of software development. With supercomputers in our pockets, self-driving vehicles, and software recognizing images better than humans, what we recently thought of as the future is already here, so how do we define the next future? In this interview we discuss how different aspects of artificial intelligence, augmented reality, high-performance computing, digital platforms, massive bandwidth, and an obsessive focus on user experience will be the fundamental drivers to future application success as we build upon lower barriers to entry and shift from improving technology to improving life.
We all have to deal with legacy code. As frustrating as legacy code can be, legacy code is important. Legacy code has users. Legacy code is in the wild delivering value making people's life's better. It must evolve, it must be maintained so how do we manage best this? How do we improve this codebase consistently, reliably, and safely?
This week I'm joined by LLewellyn Falco, Agile Coach, Creator of ApprovalTests, Co-Founder of TeachingKids Programming, and Legacy Code Expert.
This week I get to sit down with Jeff Brown of Object Computing and we talking about Micronaut, the latest framework designed for creating fast, lightweight microservices. Listen in and learn why this new framework is worth a look!
New software technology appears every year. Like clockwork, another language, library, pattern, or approach will arrive on the scene with plenty of hype and developer enthusiasm. As someone whose job requires making architectural decisions, you need to evaluate these new technologies with an eye toward the inevitable tradeoffs before deciding if a new framework or language is right for your project.
This week I sit with Nate Schutta and talk about how to approach software architecture and mastery of the craft of software development. Check out Nate’s latest publication.
In this episode I'm joined by Tim Burglund who heads up developer relations at confluent. Tim brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in distributed systems, stream/realtime processing, and all things kafka.
He gives us an insiders tour of the past, present and future of this exciting technology.
The NFJS podcast is back after the summer break. This week Michael Carducci is joined by Johanna Rothman talking about agile. How to do it right; especially when teams are distributed.
This week I gather around the microphone with Ken Kousen where he reflects on a life and career focused on the JVM.
This week I sit with Jonathan Johnson and talk all things containers. What are the current trends, what are currently recommended tools and best practices. We also get a steak peek at Jon's full-day workshop he's hosting at UberConf this year (<a href="https://uberconf.com">https://uberconf.com</a>)
Recorded Live in Reston, VA
At ArchConf 2017, leading engineers and software architects converged to teach, learn and discuss all the skills and elements necessary to be a great software architect in 2018. In addition to the in-depth content in the sessions, ThoughtWorks set up an informal "Tech Radar" both to poll attendees at the event on where various technologies are in their lifecycle, but also to teach the Tech Radar technique as a tool for evaluating technologies in your organization and industry.
I was able to sit down with a few ThoughtWorkers and dive a little deeper into the tool, it's uses, and learn more about the company as a whole. Listen to learn more about how to build your own technology radar.
This week we dive into evolutionary architecture.
The software development ecosystem is constantly changing, with a constant stream of innovation in tools, frameworks and techniques.
Over the past few years, incremental developments in core engineering practices for software development have paved the way to rethink how architecture might change over time, as well as how important architectural characteristics can be protected as it evolves. Learn more here.
GDPR is a regulation that requires businesses to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens for transactions that occur within EU member states. And non-compliance could cost companies dearly. This week on the NFJS podcast, I sit with Jeremy Deane to discuss the architecture challenges of GDPR in 2018.
