On Hiring (in a Devops World)
•
0 likes•4,925 views
Your organization has embraced the Devops philosophy, and is growing. So you set out to hunt for Devops practitioners, and quickly find that usual hiring approaches (e.g., recruiters looking on LinkedIn) simply don’t work. What do these these mythical Devops creatures look like? (Hint: a lot like unicorns and combs). What is their natural habitat? (Shockingly, they don’t hang out on LinkedIn). How can you capture them?

How To Be A Real Developer In Two Easy Steps
Have some imposter syndrome? Worried that you aren't a *real* developer? You're in luck! There's an easy, anybody-can-do-it two-step process you can follow to conquer your fears and become a Real Developer. What are those two steps? Well...that's where it gets complicated. Come with Anne as she recounts her path into the world of software development, overcomes her fears, questions the nature of reality, and shows off a super cool Ruby script.
Sharing our Coder Privilege
Closing keynote at Øredev2016 Day one about how I became a programmer and how it is our job now to teach others to create the web.
What is 'normal' anyway?
This document is a Twitter thread by Craig Abbott discussing his struggles with mental health issues like depression and anxiety, and his constant desire to fit some ideal of "normal". He describes changing his identity repeatedly, experiencing bullying and burnout at work, using alcohol to numb his feelings, and generally living to please others through most of his life. Later in life, he realized he didn't know who he truly was. He advocates being true to yourself, surrounding yourself with supportive people, not suffering in silence, and accepting that we are all imperfect in our own ways.
Design for Living (Chen Blume)
Session slides from Future Insights Live, Vegas 2015:
https://futureinsightslive.com/las-vegas-2015/
You might know the proverb: 'the shoemaker's children go barefoot'. One often neglects those closest to oneself. We, as designers, have some amazing tools and skills, so why is it that we rarely use these skills beyond client work? Why don't we use them to help us in our own work processes, to become better designers; better executors; better collaborators? In this talk, Chen talks about how we can apply our design thinking to solve the problems of our most important clients: ourselves!
What's the best advice anyone ever gave you about development?
At the opening party at SocialDevCamp, I asked attendees, all developers, what the best advice anyone ever gave them about development. Here they are passing on really helpful advice.
Humane software development
This document presents ideas for more humane software development focused on employee motivation, productivity, and freedom of choice. Some key points include:
- People choosing what and how they do their work, inviting those they like, and sharing a common goal
- Trusting freedom of self-expression and not telling others what to do
- Working on a new level, not just faster
- The presentation is from Sciworth Labs thanking others for their help.

CTO School - Practitioner's Guide to Devops
This document provides an overview of DevOps. It defines DevOps as not just a set of tools and practices, but as a culture focused on lean processes, automation, measurement, and sharing. Data is presented showing that organizations using DevOps see a 30x increase in code deployment frequency, 50% fewer failures, and 12x faster failure recovery. The document emphasizes that DevOps is about deploying a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement as a competitive advantage. It also lists upcoming DevOpsDays conferences in New York City.
Art museum presentation
The document discusses creating an iPhone application to enhance visitors' art museum experience by helping them learn about and appreciate the art in a more personal and meaningful way. The app aims to help adult visitors with a basic interest in art understand art vocabulary, recognize design elements, discuss works in historical context, and identify masterworks and styles, in order to make the most of their time viewing art and better remember the details of what they've seen. It seeks to balance learning about art with actually looking at art.

This document summarizes a startup idea to address unemployment by creating an online portfolio platform. The platform would allow users to create personal profiles showcasing their work and specialties, get rated by other users, access new applications, and connect with potential employers from various industries including media, arts, and universities. Revenue would come from paid subscriptions, a percentage of profits from agreements made through the platform, and advertising. The founders aim to develop users' professional opportunities through transparency, interconnection with the job market, and networking on the platform.

Candice Federal Resume (AFA Updated)
The document provides a summary of Candice C. Gresham's resume, including her contact information, objective, skills, accomplishments, work experience, research experience, and college research activities. It describes her various roles as a laboratory technician, administrative assistant, office manager, horticulture intern, and involvement in research projects related to fields such as marine biology, geology, and veterinary science. She has compiled data, created presentations and reports, and demonstrated leadership through positions like vice president of a 4H club.
UserEntityandBehaviorAnalyticsFriedman
The document discusses user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), which analyzes user and system behavior to detect threats and anomalies. UEBA goes beyond traditional security information and event management (SIEM) tools by using machine learning instead of rule-based detection. UEBA vendors study behaviors at the user, application, device and server levels to create profiles and detect deviations that could indicate insider threats, data exfiltration or compromised accounts. The UEBA market is growing as organizations increasingly need to detect complex, unknown threats like insider threats. UEBA has limitations but can be a valuable part of a security analytics platform when integrated with other tools.
Flipbook (3) (1)
The document discusses how increased use of media and technology is negatively impacting people's attention spans. It notes that the average attention span has declined from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8 seconds now. Heavy social media use makes it difficult for people to focus on tasks. Multitasking across devices reduces effectiveness and causes more mistakes. Frequent technology use can lead to cognitive failures and difficulty filtering important information. These issues are also impacting children at younger ages.

ARTE Y ROMANIZACIÓN
La romanización de Hispania involucró la asimilación gradual de la cultura romana, incluido el latín y el derecho romano. Roma estableció ciudades que servían como centros administrativos, y construyó calzadas, puentes, acueductos y otras infraestructuras. La cultura romana floreció en Hispania, como se evidencia en los templos, teatros, anfiteatros y villas romanas, así como en intelectuales e imperadores hispanorromanos notables.

The document introduces Sous Chef, an open source tool for testing cookbooks.
Watch Your Language! - What my Mother Taught Me about Being an Engineer.
Software Engineers use programming languages to build something awesome. When I was a kid I did the same thing with Legos. In a way Lego builds and Software builds can be very similar. They have to be well designed, kept clean, and maintained in order to stay functional over the years.
Although the original 8-stud Lego brick is still fully compatible with the latest NXT 3.0 robotics kit over 50 years later, the languages we program in today are not the same languages our parents, supervisors, or teachers used coming out of college. If the language you have been programming in was deprecated overnight, what would happen? This presentation will cover what I have learned about languages over 30 years, and specifically the changes I have seen in programming languages at home, school, and work. Starting from copying a game out of 3-2-1-Contact Magazine in BASIC in 1991 to hacking Quake 3 in C++ in the computer labs at Missouri State, to replacing a COBOL project two years ago that was written before I was born on punch-cards, to co-writing a Chef cookbook at 3am via Lync while drinking Monster Energy.
Find out why some languages behave the way they do. Learn why business don't just pack up their expensive IDEs and go open source overnight. See some esoteric languages that will make CCL look like Python! And hopefully leave with a better appreciation of what your tools are doing for you now that just weren't available when this industry started over 50 years ago.

Chasing Elephants - Alberto Brandolini - Codemotion Rome 2017
This document discusses common problems that arise when companies experience accelerated growth in developing software. It describes four phases of growth: inception, ramp up, outsourcing, and aftermath. Key issues discussed include a loss of purpose and energy as companies prioritize features and hiring over working with real users and experts, resulting in purposeless code of declining quality over time. The document advocates for creating an environment where developers can learn, experiment, and focus on users' needs rather than production metrics.

UX Therapy - Don't Jump
We find comfort in hanging out with like-minded people. It feels good to hear similar war stories or even better when other's stories are more horrific than our own.
In this session, I will share my challenges working as a UX team of one in a large organization. You’ll gain knowledge on how to educate and collaborate with your teams, tools to keep documentation to a minimum, and ways to share with executives how a UX team of one can make an impact.
Your Testing is a Joke
My presentation from EuroSTAR 2015:
Your testing is a joke. Or, rather, some parts of some of the testing done by some people reading this will be somewhat analogous to some subset of what some people would accept as jokes. Sometimes. Language can be tricky like that. And that’s one of the things that makes it such a productive tool for jokes, and such a flawed tool for specification.
Edward de Bono, in his Lateral Thinking books, makes a strong connection between humour and creativity. Creativity is a key to testing, but jokes? Well, the punchline for a joke could be a violation of some expectation, the exposure of some ambiguity, an observation that no one else has made, or just making a surprising connection. Jokes can make you think and then laugh. But they don’t always work. Does that sound familiar?
At Linguamatics we have a weekly caption competition. I wondered what my process for creating entries was and as I spent more time thinking about it, I started to notice parallels with the way that I think about how I test. For instance, I might take each of the key entities in the picture and “factor” them – generate a list of features, related concepts, synonyms and so on. In testing I might then look for overlapping factors for potentially interesting test ideas, in the quest for a caption I might try to use the same approach to find an ambiguity and hence a joke.
In this talk I’ll take a genuine joke-making process and de-construct it to make comparisons between aspects of joking and concepts from testing such as the difference between a fault and a failure, oracles, heuristics, factoring, modelling testing as the exploration of a space of possibilities, stopping strategies, bug advocacy and the possibility that a bug, today, in this context might not be one tomorrow or in another.
Yes, there will be some jokes in the session. And I’ll try explain why the groans you’ll hear are a good sign too.

Yoav Goldberg: Word Embeddings What, How and Whither
This document discusses word embeddings and how they work. It begins by explaining how the author became an expert in distributional semantics without realizing it. It then discusses how word2vec works, specifically skip-gram models with negative sampling. The key points are that word2vec is learning word and context vectors such that related words and contexts have similar vectors, and that this is implicitly factorizing the word-context pointwise mutual information matrix. Later sections discuss how hyperparameters are important to word2vec's success and provide critiques of common evaluation tasks like word analogies that don't capture true semantic similarity. The overall message is that word embeddings are fundamentally doing the same thing as older distributional semantic models through matrix factorization.
Code Of Our Own
This document summarizes Liz Henry's talk "Code of Our Own" about supporting women developers in open source communities. It discusses challenges women face such as impostor syndrome, lack of mentorship programs, and isolation. It provides suggestions for bringing more women into open source like starting from basic skills, pair programming, and hosting informal events like house parties. The overall message is that solidarity and creating spaces for women to learn together is important for retaining women in open source development.

It's been a turbulent relationship but there's still a lot of love left to give.
Practical tips, pitfalls and stories of integrating user experience design into iterative delivery.
Software Process... the good parts
This document summarizes Andrew Clay Shafer's talk on software processes. It discusses that Agile processes like Scrum have been oversimplified and lost their original spirit. It promotes focusing on frequent delivery, automated testing, minimizing work in progress, prioritizing quality, and inspecting and adapting processes based on outcomes. Context is important in choosing a process, and processes should promote building software to fulfill a vision rather than just completing tasks. Measuring outcomes and having conversations around user stories are also discussed.
Coding For Fun And Profit
This document summarizes a speech about coding for fun and profit. It introduces the speaker, Jeff Schoolcraft, and outlines that the speech will cover why coding for fun is useful, some relevant research on skills acquisition, and ideas for having fun coding both individually and with others. The speech aims to encourage coding for enjoyment rather than just as a job in order to reduce being in a rut and feeling like skills are declining.
Катя Кубасова
The document discusses various scrum events:
- Daily scrum meetings where team members discuss what they did yesterday, will do today, and any impediments.
- Sprint planning where the team plans the work for the upcoming sprint and estimates effort.
- Sprint review where completed work is demonstrated to stakeholders at the end of the sprint.
- Sprint retrospective where the team reflects on what went well and improvements for the next sprint.
Code Katas Spring 2012
This document discusses code katas and different methods for practicing programming skills. It defines code katas as focused practice exercises and discusses their value in improving skills away from work pressures. The document contrasts katas with other practice methods like solo and group randori, koans, code retreats, and recommends practicing katas daily and exploring other techniques. It provides resources for finding katas and practicing with a local software craftsmanship group.
Mlw
This document summarizes Peter Scott's talk "Mind Like Water: The Path to Perl Bliss" given at OSCON in Portland, OR in July 2006. The talk discusses different programmer personalities like the Perl Parser, Impatient Coder, Glory Hunter, and Good Samaritan. It emphasizes the importance of balancing these personalities within oneself and on a team. The talk also provides excerpts of wisdom from expert Perl programmers like Dominus, Damian Conway, brian d foy, and chromatic about practices like testing, learning from others, and experimenting regularly.
How to go from structureless to structured without losing your vibe
The document discusses moving from a flat organizational structure to one with more hierarchy and leadership roles at a company. It notes that as engineering teams grow past a certain size, the flat structure breaks down, and it's time to consider roles like VP of Engineering or Director of Engineering. However, it emphasizes that these new leadership roles need clearly defined responsibilities and expectations to avoid confusion and ensure accountability. It advocates creating an engineering ladder or level system to establish clarity around hiring, pay, promotion criteria and growth opportunities for team members at different career stages.
Chenblumefutureinsights2015 150615132842-lva1-app6891
The document discusses how designers often fail to apply design thinking principles to their own work processes, leaving them "barefoot". The author describes her own experience of this, where she struggled with certain parts of her process like specifications. She realized she needed to redesign her process to eliminate pain points and have more time for creative work. She developed Specctr, a tool to help with specifications, to solve this problem for herself and others. The key lessons are to critically examine your own work, establish priorities through hierarchy, use contrasting ideas to spark innovation, break conventions, create whitespace, and learn to love the process of working on your process.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

It's pretty rare that DevOps positions gets coding test [sic], since one generally doesn't write code as part of the job (one does write scripts, and things like chef 'recipes’ for example). That's why I answered it in 'bash' - it's the lingua franca of DevOps. So if you're measuring the potential quality of DevOps guys using the measuring stick for developers, you're likely to run into a disconnect.”
