By Jutta Eckstein and John Buck We hear people often say that an Agile transformation implies a culture change and that this culture change refers actually to a change of the mindset.

DevOps or SRE? We’re going over the two concepts, highlighting the differences between them and trying to understand how each one came to be. DevOps and SRE seem like two sides of the same coin. Both titles aim to bridge the gap between development and operation teams, with a unified goal of enhancing the release cycle without any compromises. And indeed, in most companies we can see that there’s a requirement for just one of these positions, with an overlap in responsibilities and abilities.

There once was an organization that was very hierarchical and authoritarian. People were accustomed to waiting until their boss told them what to do, even at the highest levels of leadership. Working, or even talking, with someone who was more than one organizational level away (like your boss’s boss) wasn’t “allowed.” As a result, no […].

Matt had just wrapped up work on a demo program for an IDE his company had been selling for the past few years. It was something many customers had requested, believing the documentation wasn't illustrative enough.

One of my weaknesses as a developer is relying on UIs to provide me the data I need. It’s not a fatal weakness but it does hamper me a bit. One prime example is relying on GitHub’s interface to review changes; git’s command line provides the information needed with commands but the UI is just so much nicer. I recently needed to trace back commits to find a problematic commit between a given date range.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

In late June, California passed a new consumer privacy law—the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This statute provides protections to California residents; but it will also have wide-ranging effects outside of California as it will apply to organizations that conduct business in California. The CCPA, which goes into effect on January 1, 2020, will be the broadest privacy law in the United States, granting more protections to personal data than any current privacy statute.

One of the central tenets of Lean is that the system people are in impacts them significantly. This does not mean, however, that one can just create a new system and put people in it - this would be a perversion of Lean-Thinking. Lean suggests sysetms support our people. But this presumes they are capable of getting their work done. Putting people into a potentially Agile system does not teach someone actual Agile skills. .

Zero Trust is a security concept that is centered around the belief that organizations should not trust anything inside or outside its perimeter and instead must verify anything trying to access systems. Zero Trust is rooted in the principle of “trust, but verify,” which became a well-known phrase used by President Ronald Reagan on multiple occasions in the 1980s in the context of nuclear disarmament.
