The holiday season is almost here, and for that reason, it's easy to drift off and go window shopping for gifts within the very screen that you're looking at all day as a developer. In this week's show, we talk to Sean Breiman, a developer at Softheon, about productivity techniques and how to tackle the biggest pain points when the days grow long and mental bandwidth dries out. 

In our last episode coming out of the DevOps Enterprise Summit, we talk to Derek Weeks from Sonatype about how developers can work around the security vulnerabilities that come with open source code. Open source is in now more than ever, but how will DevSecOps provide developers with the peace of mind to use open source in their applications. 

In this episode of What the Dev(Ops), we talk about value stream management which is regarded by some as the most important tool for effective DevOps. We talk to Lance Knight from ConnectAll at The DevOps Enterprise Summit in Las Vegas on how to get the most out of Agile with value stream management. 

Data isn't very useful if it's not accessible. And while it might be safer to restrict developers from having sensitive data, but it doesn't help them. We talk to Robert Reeves from Datical at the DevOps Enterprise Summit in Las Vegas about how to jump over the roadblocks keeping developers from using data to its full potential. 

Straight from the DevOps Summit 2019 in Las Vegas, this week's special edition of What the Dev(Ops) is about what skills the modern developers need to thrive in today's DevOps culture. We talk to Jayne Groll from the DevOps Institute about how the mindset of developers is as important for DevOps as the agility and the automation of processes

In the very first episode of What the Dev? created by the editorial team at SD Times, we are on the ground at the Strata Data Conference, we talk about the latest advancements in VR/AR technology and lay out the themes for our upcoming episodes.
