#145: In this episode, we discuss a blog post from spike.sh that analyzed 29 DevOps engineer job postings from a number of the large technology companies. The overlap of the job requirements wasn't very surprising. However, some of the requirements seemed pretty silly.

What does a DevOps Engineer do? We analyzed 29 job postings to find out.

#142: We answer a new variation on a question that we get a lot. Sure, we all know we need to know how to code if we are doing DevOps, but do we also need to know how to use development frameworks and potentially even how to connect to and use databases?

#139: When you sit down to write documentation, do you start with a Google Doc or Microsoft Word? Hopefully neither. Hopefully you start with plain text. But how do you handle formatting? That's where it starts to get interesting.

In this episode, we answer a question from Karl Webster where he asks "what do you use for documenting all your notes and how do you take notes when learning a new technology / application?"

#137: Many application developers have either been hearing about or having thrust upon them the concept of shifting left. But now in some places, even infrastructure is trying to get in on the game. However, to believe that application developers can correctly build, maintain, secure, and govern infrastructure is a failed experiment unless they are getting a lot of help. In trying to answer this question from Momodu, we think that we have a few possible actions that organizations can take to take this from failed experiment to a success.
