It's time for more DevOps fun as we continue learning about the Twelve-Factor app. This week we dive into the next three chapters: port binding, concurrency, and disposability.

The holidays are coming sooner than we realized, so we gotta get our wish lists together. After all, no one wants to sit around the Festivus Pole without their favorite dev toys. This week we discuss some of the toys we love, as well as the ones we drool over, and even the ones we're not so crazy about.

We're headed back to the Twelve-Factor app territory and this time we're picking up with the next three chapters - backing services, building and releasing and processes.  Jump in to get the shownotes and listen to the next three pieces of building a manageable and scalable twelve-factor app.

It's that time again.

This week we answer a question, Allen registers for school, Joe reads some numbers, Michael breaks out the survey results, and Joe cringes at the thought of bidets. It's time for episode 29! And we thought, what better to talk about than to continue our discussion on hierarchical data solutions.

So, how DO you persist hierarchical Data? We discuss two common solutions to this age-old problem: Adjacency Lists and Nested Set Models. Also, Build Atlanta, technical problems, multi-monitor vs ultra-wide, and utilizing gaming mice to up your game.

In this episode we discuss algorithms, puzzles and the best way to ensure you're prepared for an interview programming problem. It's not uncommon for interviewers to have software developers write code on a board during an interview process, especially with one of the larger tech companies out there. So in this podcast we discuss a number of resources to help you hone your problem solving skills and some step by step approaches that can be used to improve your ability to perform under pressure!
