DOP 288: The Laws of Software Evolution

Episode 288

mercredi 6 novembre 2024 • Duration 32:12

#288: Let's journey back in time, roughly 30 to 50 years ago, to an era where systems were relatively simple. These foundational systems were built with fewer components, making them not only easier to understand but also simpler to manage. At that time, the stability of a system was often directly correlated with its simplicity. Fewer variables meant fewer potential points of failure, and system operators could focus on optimizing the core elements. The mantra of the day was straightforwardness and robust design.

Fast forward to the present, and we find ourselves surrounded by systems that are more interconnected and interdependent than ever before. While each individual component or subsystem might be meticulously engineered and robust by today's standards, the sheer volume and interconnectedness introduce a new layer of complexity. However, this is not a detriment to technological progress, but rather a testament to our boundless ambition and innovation.

In this episode, Darin and Viktor discuss an article from 44 years ago titled Programs, Life Cycles, and Laws of Software Evolution by Meir Lehman.

DOP 189: Code Anywhere on Any Device With Gitpod

Episode 189

mercredi 14 décembre 2022 • Duration 46:00

#189: In the distant past, we used punchcards and dumb terminals to program. Then came the advent of the personal computer and we started developing locally on our machines. There are now new offerings that allow us to use pretty much any device that has a web browser to do all our programming. One of those offerings is Gitpod.

On this episode, we speak with Chris Weichel, CTO of Gitpod, about the history of Gitpod and why the standard developer machine is ripe for disruption.

DOP 188: Foster a Culture of Resilience With Steadybit

Episode 188

mercredi 7 décembre 2022 • Duration 37:34

#188: Just because you’ve run some chaos experiments against your system doesn’t mean you are ready to fend off wide ranging and prolonged attacks. It just means that you might be ready for the attacks you’ve created experiments for. Why? Because you probably didn’t actually fully load your systems with persistent and ever-changing attacks.

In this episode, we talk with Benjamin Wilms, CEO of Steadybit, about why just running chaos experiments is just one part of helping make your systems resilient and why capturing what happens in real-life incidents can help you create even better experiments.

DOP 187: Simplify Testing With Testcontainers

Episode 187

mercredi 30 novembre 2022 • Duration 45:51

#187: When writing tests that need to talk to a data source, you're usually faced with a couple of options. The first one is that you setup a database server on your machine. The problem with that is what happens when other developers need to run those same tests? They have to setup the database too.

The other option is you can mock your database connections. However, it's hard to keep your mock up to date with the latest features of the database you are using. What if there was another option you could use? Enter Testcontainers.

In this episode we speak with Sergei Egorov from AtomicJar about the history of Testcontainers and how to implement it into your development processes.

DOP 186: Easily Get Your Code to the Cloud With Amnic

Episode 186

mercredi 23 novembre 2022 • Duration 34:41

#186: Most companies say they want their application developers to be shipping more code faster and faster. However, those same companies don’t do enough to help the application developers be successful at doing that.

In this episode, we speak with Ankit Bhati, co-founder and CEO at Amnic, about how by providing a unified operating platform for your application developers will not only help speed up the work that those developers do, but also reduce the risk in running the applications that go through this platform.

DOP 184: How To Reduce Cloud Costs Using Tenacity

Episode 184

mercredi 9 novembre 2022 • Duration 43:58

#184: The public cloud is a powerful tool that allows businesses to outsource their data and compute to ensure security, availability, scalability, and reliability. But like many tools, they cannot be used best without understanding the total cost of ownership. By cost, we really mean cold, hard cash.

In this episode, we talk with Jason Yaeger, Co-Founder & CEO of Tenacity Cloud, about how Tenacity is tackling the problem of helping businesses understand their true cloud costs and why you shouldn't trust your cloud provider to give you the best possible discounts.
