The 6 Figure Developer Podcast

  What is devops? DevOps is the union of people, process, and technology to enable the continous delivery of value to customers Key metrics for successful development Throughput Lead Time - from concept to deployed Deployment Frequency - how frequent new code is deployed Stability Change Failure - how often a deployment breaks some thing Time to Restore - how quickly to recover from broken (either fix or revert) Availability - how often service is good and available to be consumed Grouping Performers (4.5 groups) Elite Performers Deploy On Demand, lead time < 1hr, time to restore < 1hr, fail rate 0-15% High Performers Deploy 1hr > 1dy, lead time 1dy > 1wk, time to restore < 1dy, fail rate 0-15% Medium Performers Deploy 1wk > 1mth, lead time 1wk > 1mth, time to restore < 1dy, fail rate 0-15% Low Performers Deploy 1wk > 1mth, lead time 1mth > 6mth, time to restore 1wk < 1mth, fail rate 46-60% Misguided Performers like Low Performers but better fail rate 16-30% have often achieved better results by going slower, but platues with increased friction Elites vs Low, 46x More Deployments, 7x Fewer Change Failures Elites get to spend 50% on new work, low only 30% Everyone spends 20% on unplanned work and rework How to Improve Understanding the 3 ways The First Way: Systems Thinking, Work Flows Downstream The Second Way: Amplify and Shorten Feedback Loop, Downstream info effects upstream work The Third Way: Culture of Experimentation and Learning The Technical Pracices of DevOps Trunk-Based Development Deployment Automation Loosely Coupled Architecture Continous Integration Continous Testing Monitoring & Observability Managing Database Changes Proactive & Reactive Integrated Security   Resources MS Docs - What is DevOps?

  What causes burnout? Too much work? Possibly, but not necessarily Many people work crazy hours and do not suffer from burnout. Work/life balance? Again, this is possible The feeling of work/life unbalance is more of a symptom than a reason. Compound Stress This seems to be the real cause. Work asking for tight deadlines Spouse wanting more help around the house Kids needing help with homework or skills they are struggling with. Internal stress Putting unrealistic expectations on yourself Failing to complete projects Finances Basically Burnout is you not being able to keep up with the expectaions of your work, your family, and yourself. How does burnout affect you as a developer? Prevents you from working productively Unable to focus at work inability to make yourself work general loss of productivity at work a strong wanting to quit and find another job Harms family interactions Loss of affection to your spouse which leads to loss of affection from your spouse Lack of positive interations with your kids getting upset at them when you normally wouldn’t be General malaise at home not doing normal chores that you should basically sit on couch, watch tv, and ignore the world Could lead to divorce and/or missing important milestones in your families life. Spiraling descent into unhappiness Basically all the symptoms of depression Burnout affects every aspect of your life and prevents you from managing work, family, finances, exercise and eating habits, and everything else that is part of a healthy life. How do we prevent burnout from happening in the first place? It’s not real easy Ignore stress conditions or find a good coping mechanism for them. Deadlines at work of most often not as urgent or important as they are made to be seen. Relax and do the best you can, but don’t cave under the weight of a deadline Don’t rush to meet the deadline causes bugs causes bad code leads to more stress Assume that everyone is doing the best they can under the circumstances Even if you could do a better job Even if it’s not even your job The belief they someone else is slacking off leads to more stress leads to tension within the team doesn’t help anyone If you have a question, ask it. Ask for help This one might be difficult you are not an island you can’t do this on your own Personal projects and hobbys Don’t require the utmost professionalism You don’t have to TDD or Clean Code all the time. You can relax and write some bad code sometimes These projects are for practicing or learn a specific thing. Focus on that Are great for releiving stress when not taken seriously If the project or hobby stresses you out, it can wait. Family Your spouse doesn’t know or understand your work If you are stressed, talk to your spouse about it. If you have had a bad day, talk to your spouse about it. Children don’t know or understand your work

  Joey landed his first programming job in the '90s with a HyperCard (remember that?) resume and by going out for beer with the managers of the company where he wanted to work until they caved and hired him. Since then, he’s worked at a San Francisco startup during the dot-com bubble, done tech evangelism for Tucows, Microsoft, and Shopify, valiantly tried to make Windows Phone happen, and once had a very short stint as an accordion-playing go-go dancer at a Toronto nightclub. He's currently a mobile developer at Lilypad. Joey lives, works, and engages in nincompoopery in Tampa, Florida, where he runs Tampa iOS Meetup (and helps out at the Android and Xamarin Meetups, too!), plays unlikely rock and pop tunes on his accordion, and generally does what he can to avoid becoming a "Florida Man" news story.   Links http://www.joeydevilla.com/ http://www.globalnerdy.com/ https://twitter.com/AccordionGuy https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeydevilla/   Resources Microserfs iOS Apprentice (Eighth Edition) iOS 10 Programming for Beginners Android Apprentice Kotlin Apprentice Android Test-Driven Development by Tutorials Google Developers Group (Tampa)   "Tempting Time" by Animals As Leaders used with permissions - All Rights Reserved   × Subscribe now!
