Thanks to the amazing books, blogs, videos, quickstarts, frameworks, and other software-related resources, getting started as a software engineer is easier than ever.  Although you can get started in a day, it can take years to become a master of the craft and most practitioners describe it as a profession of lifelong learning.

Titus Winters is a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Google and the author of the book Software Engineering at Google, often known as “the flamingo book”.  This book is not just tips for structuring, writing, and testing code.  It’s a resource that outlines all the facets of the software engineering practice that apply in professional settings through the lens of lessons learned at Google.

Modern businesses run on the cloud and increasingly so they run on multi-cloud infrastructure.  As any growing company can tell you, cloud costs can easily run far out of control.  Today’s enterprises are trying to deliver new products and services at a fast pace.  That needs to be done in a cost-effective, ideally cloud-agnostic way.

In this interview, I speak with Jake Reichert, VP of Engineering at Yotascale, we discuss Yotascale’s solution and how they’ve helped companies like Zoom navigate the challenges of rapid growth.  Yotascale offers a comprehensive spectrum of cloud cost management solutions and we get into how modern enterprises are using these tools for optimization, governance, and more.

One of the most painful parts of getting started on a new development team is getting one’s environment set up.  Whether it’s undocumented steps, overly complex setups, or simply the challenges of understanding how the pieces fit together, getting a dev environment up often feels like a chore to be suffered through in order to do what I want: contribute to the codebase.

Gitpod seeks to solve these and other common challenges.  With Gitpod, you can spin up fresh, automated dev environments, in the cloud, in seconds.  In this episode, I interview Sven Efftinge, CEO of Gitpod.

The last 15 years have seen the emergence of cloud-based developer APIs and services as dominant components of the developer toolchain. As a result, there has never been more power at developers’ fingertips. But making that power usable and accessible is a challenge that is shared between the providers and the consumers of these services.

Google’s Developer Relations team has spent the past 15 years bridging the gap between Google’s internal engineering teams and the broader developer community that consumes their APIs and services. Luke Mahé is a long-time engineering manager at Google DevRel. We talk about the history of Google’s developer offering and the critical role DevRel plays in shaping and promoting that offering.

This episode is hosted by Yaniv Bernstein. Yaniv Bernstein was until recently COO of Airtasker and is now a startup coach, adviser, and public speaker. He is the author of the People Engineering newsletter and is active on LinkedIn and Twitter.

The way we write, compile, and run software has continued to evolve since computer programming began.  The cloud, serverless, no-code, and CI/CD are all contemporary ideas introduced to help software engineers spend more time on their application and less time on the chores of running it. 

Darklang is a new way of building serverless backends.  It’s a cloud native programming language with several novel features including being not just serverless but deployless as well.  In this episode, I interview Paul Biggar, founder and CEO of Dark.

An application network is a way to connect applications, data and devices through APIs that expose some or all of their assets and data on the network. That network allows other consumers from other parts of the business to come in and discover and use those assets (mulesoft.com).

The company Tetrate provides the tools necessary for a highly efficient application (aware) network. Tetrate helps connect and manage applications across clusters, clouds, and data centers. It supports integrating traditional workloads into your cloud-native application infrastructure, defining access control and editing rights or teams on shared infrastructure, and out of the box conformance with NIST standards for microservices security.

In this episode we talk to Varun Talwar, Co-Founder of Tetrate.

Whether organizing projects, working from home, or conducting business, you need to use many necessary apps and cloud services to do the job. Despite these apps being necessary, switching between them and keeping them interconnected and updated is a challenge. They very easily become disorganized which makes using them less efficient.

The company ClickUp solves this problem by providing a platform that provides everything a business needs to efficiently operate, all in one place! ClickUp uses a unique hierarchy to see the big picture without missing details, and offers everything from docs, to tasks, to imports and integrations. With everything in one place and easily searchable and organized, ClickUp makes work much easier.

In this episode we talk to Zeb Evans, Founder and CEO of ClickUp.

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration service released by Google in 2014. It has quickly grown into a platform with a huge community of enthusiasts and professionals. Besides becoming the de facto standard for container orchestration, it has fostered an ecosystem of related tools and services with increasing power and sophistication (opensource.com).

Argo, a project developed by the company Applatix and acquired by Intuit, is a set of essential Kubernetes-native tools for deploying and running jobs and applications on Kubernetes. All the Argo tools are implemented as controllers and custom resources. Some of these tools are Argo Workflows, Argo Events, Argo CD, and Argo Rollouts (intuit.com).

In this episode we talk to Alex Collins, Principal Software Engineer at Intuit, about using Argo to manage Kubernetes applications.

Pay-as-you-go pricing has become a strong selling point for modern SaaS companies as well as cloud-based companies. Public cloud providers, for example, typically only charge you for only what you use. But implementing this option is challenging because it requires advanced platform analytics.

The company Octane is a drop-in metered billing system that gives you flexibility to bill how you want. They offer expressive price plans that bill on usage, include base rates, add-ones, discounts, and trials. Their services can be integrated easily with simple APIs and SDKs, and generate detailed breakdowns of customer usage and spending with customizable reports and dashboards.

In this episode we talk to Akash Khanolkar, Co-founder at Octane.
