Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Hearing aid care
- 1. Hearing Aid Care: Do’s and Don’ts Cleaning and taking good care of your hearing aid every day is very important. The better you care for your hearing aid, the less often it will break down and need to be sent in for repair. Below is a list of things you can do every day to help keep your hearing aid working properly. If you ever have questions about your hearing aid, call your Audiologist.
- 2. Carry extra batteries with you or keep them at school because you never know when your hearing aid battery will stop working.
- 3. Check the battery with a battery tester. If the battery is low or not working at all, replace the old battery with a new one right away. Leaving old batteries in the hearing aid will cause corrosion, which can cause your hearing aid to stop working. If the light is bright red, the battery is good! If the light does not light up or dim, the battery needs changed!
- 4. Wax Loop & Brush Tool Check the earmold and tubing for clogging or cracks. If the earmold has earwax or debris in it, use your wax loop tool that came with the hearing aid to gently remove the blockage. If the earmold or tubing is cracked, please tell your audiologist.
- 5. Check the hearing aid case for damage such as cracks, broken battery door, or exposed wires. Check buttons, dials and switches for ease of movement or breakage. If you notice any damage to the hearing aid case, please tell your audiologist.
- 6. Check for feedback (whistling). Feedback is usually caused by one of these problems: 1. The connection between the hearing aid, tubing, and/or earmold may not be tight, 2. The tubing or earmold may be cracked, 3. Earwax is blocking the ear or hearing aid, or 4. The hearing aid may not be fitting properly. Make sure the hearing aid is in the ear correctly and it is in all the way. If feedback occurs even after all of these things have been checked, talk to your audiologist.
- 7. Keep your hearing aid away from heat. Exposure to high temperatures (such as in the car on a sunny day) can damage the hearing aid circuit.
- 8. Do not get the electronic parts wet! Exposure to moisture is the number one reason for hearing aids to need repairs. Moisture problems in your hearing aid can be caused by direct contact with water, excessive sweating, steam from a shower, high humidity, and bad weather such as rain, sleet, snow, and fog. *Clean your hearing aids as instructed. Wipe the hearing aid case with a dry, soft cloth. When at home, detach the earmold and tubing from the earhook (the half-moon shaped plastic connected to the hearing aid) and clean in warm, soapy water. Make sure earmolds are completely dry before re-attaching them
- 9. Turn off your hearing aid, open the battery door when not in use. The batteries will last longer. If you received a drying kit when you were first given your hearing aid, place the hearing aids in the dry kit container with the battery door open, nightly. This allows air to circulate through the hearing aid. The drying kit draws moisture out of the hearing aid. Nightly drying keeps the hearing aid in good condition, and it will be less likely to need repair.
- 10. Protect your hearing aid from shock by changing the battery over a towel, on a table, or over a bed. This will cushion the fall if you drop the hearing aid. It will also help keep your battery from flying across the room.
- 11. Keep hearing aid batteries away from children. The batteries can look like candy to children, but batteries are poisonous and can be fatal if swallowed. If you think a child has swallowed a battery, call your local poison control center right away.
- 12. Keep hearing aids away from pets. Dogs and cats love hearing aids and will eat them quickly if they get a chance! If your hearing aid becomes damaged, it is important to collect as much of the hearing aid as possible and call your audiologist.
- 13. Carry a hearing aid case with you. Do not put your hearing aid in a purse or backpack unprotected because it may become damaged. Forgotten hearing aids placed in pockets often get washed.
