AI DevOps Podcast

This week Jeffrey is joined by a fantastic return guest, Ted Neward! Ted is the Director of Technology Culture at Quicken Loans (where he has held several previous positions at). He is a self-described geek who takes great pride and joy in making other geeks into bigger and better (and hopefully more highly rewarded) geeks. Having recently stepped into a management role, Ted has been looking for more and more ways to leverage his skills as a "force multiplier" across his entire team to not only better the team itself — but the entire organization as a whole.

In the conversation with Ted today, he and Jeffrey talk all about development leadership and stepping into a managing position. How do you become a better leader? What can you do as a manager to bump up the effectiveness of your team? What does it really mean to be a team lead? How do you measure if your current plan and strategies are actually effective? What are the should-do's and the should-not do's of leading a team? Tune in to find out!

[1:20] About today's episode with Ted Neward!

[1:35] Jeffrey welcomes Ted back to the podcast!

[4:00] Ted introduces himself and shares about his current role with Quicken Loans. He also explains what Quicken Loans does and what some of his previous roles looked like.

[9:18] How they measure the productivity of their developers at QL. Ted also shares advice on how you can determine if a program or activity is successful.

[14:23] What can a manager do to bump up the effectiveness of their team?

[18:54] What it really means to be a team lead.

[19:59] A word from Azure DevOps Podcast's sponsor: Clear Measure.

[20:29] Why "rewriting" and replacing everything is almost NEVER the answer.

[27:29] Why do we keep making the same mistakes?

[28:30] What many development teams don't understand.

[29:38] How often do teams make true architectural decisions?

[32:11] Talking reactionary architectural changes.

[34:27] Why you don't want to teach your team an entirely new programming language.

In today's conversation, Jeffrey and Rob discuss database DevOps. Rob speaks about a user's journey through an application, delivering value, holistically understanding the DevOps system, how to get set up properly with database DevOps, database manipulation, different database DevOps approaches, and more.

This episode is jam-packed with tons of great information so be sure to not miss out!
