There are some interesting things going on in DevOps in Chicago! Matt is joined by Jeff Smith (GrubHub), Jerry Cattell (LifeQode), and Sameer Doshi (kCura), for a panel discussion on just what makes tech and DevOps different in Chicago. Plus, special updates on the Cubs/Dodgers game. Yay sportsball!
- ADO episode at devopsdays Chicago 2014 with J. Paul Reed
- Jerry started his career swapping out computers for Y2K in tropical locations. Nice job to have!
- Most sportsball talk on any episode of ADO to date!
- “You may not be able to move as fast as others, but that doesn’t mean you have to sit still” - Jeff
- Conversations Matt has had with local folks in the past two years have changed from “this will never work at my company” to “ this is really hard, and we aren’t moving as fast as I would like us to be”
