The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion. He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault. We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded. I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered. You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.

Microservices architecture is one of the most popular options for companies going through application modernization or migrating to the cloud. However, companies may end up abandoning them altogether as the hype comes to an end.

In fact, for Senior Principal Software Engineer Holly Cummins, microservices can be a bitter drink for migrating companies that didn't question whether or not they were making the right decision. Holly will educate us on the challenges microservices come with and share the right way to test them.

Holly Cummins is a senior principal software engineer part of the Quarkus team at Red Hat. Before that, she worked at IBM for 20 years, spending the last five years with the company as a cloud consultant at IBM Garage. Her role there was to help clients with cloud migration.

During this time, Holly guided clients to successful cloud migration stories. Moreover, Holly also helped to put back on track companies that were facing issues during their migration processes.

Cory O’Daniel on Infrastructure as Code 25:58

Cloud adoption has outpaced the development of corresponding expertise in cloud operations, leading to a significant skills gap across the industry. In this regard, many organizations have had to abandon cloud initiatives because they lacked the necessary in-house expertise to manage them. As a result, critical projects are delayed, and costs and operational risks increase. Recognizing this gap, Cory O’Daniel co-founded MassDriver, a platform designed to simplify cloud infrastructure management for engineers without extensive cloud or operations experience. In this episode, Cory will explain how MassDriver allows teams to focus on building business value rather than getting bogged down in intricate cloud configurations.
