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 spit.
Right now I’m up in Chicago at an EPA tech summit where I gave an overview of agile for orginizers such as theirselves. They have some pretty impressive desires to go agile and lean. Their distinction between those two is interesting: one is for exploring, the other for optimizing.
SpringOne Platform
We have our Pivotal conference, SpringOne Platform, coming up this August 1st the 4th. There’s a bevy of talks across developer and management concerns, but all focused on creating and delivering better software. I’ll be there speaking on DevOps, and the agenda is chock full of the kinds of “cloud native” and “digital transformation” topics I’ve been interested in of late.
For some previews of the content, my colleagues have been doing interviews with speakers, and I did an interview with Matt Curry at Allstate about how they’ve been transforming their orginizations, down to t-shirts.
