People use JavaScript, Internet mattresses, password stink - Coté Memo #30
Just a few updates and links this week. I don’t list them all below, but there’s several interviews from OSCON and DevOpsDays Austin in the Coté Show Variety Podcast as well.

XML, all alone on its own. |
The RedMonk programming language index is out, as always it’s interesting to see how things rank and read over their explanation. Also, if you’re interested in coming to Spring Days in NYC or Atlanta this summer, they have a $50 off discount code right at the start as part of Pivotal’s sponsorship.
Best practices help - it's right there in there in the phrase

Best practices get best-er results. |
There’s two survey-based assessments of agile and DevOps out recently. The first is a survey and report from Gartner, with an excerpt above. Based on a survey conducted in October of last year, it shows how widely agile practices are used and attempts to make some judgements about the benefits of those practices, as show in the chart above.
Also, the 2017 DevOps Report is out. I must admit, I haven’t had time to read it yet. But, it’s always good, so it’s worth looking at.
