"Stop Hiring Devops Experts (And Start Growing Them)" by Jez Humble, Principal, ThoughtWorks. Presentation Overview: Everyone is putting "devops" on their LinkedIn profile, and everyone is trying to hire them. In this talk, Jez will argue this is not a recruitment problem but an organizations failure. This talk discusses how to grow great people and great organizations, and how the two problems are connected. Speaker Bio: Jez Humble is a Principal at ThoughtWorks Studios, and co-author of the Jolt Award winning Continuous Delivery, published in Martin Fowler’s Signature Series (Addison Wesley, 2010). He has worked as a software developer, product manager, consultant and trainer across a wide variety of domains and technologies.

Someone was asking me not whether I was qualified to fill a role, but whether I believed in a movement. Whether flow was of the utmost importance. Whether communication was more important than silos. ‘Of course not, are you an Agile?’” Dave Mangot | @davemangot | http://bit.ly/16YHqu3 Friday, August 23, 13
