 Code & Coffee - 3/4/2022

  • How to properly spectate at a cross country event
    • Cheating is ok for parents ;-)
  • Topic of the week: Spring cleaning
    • Cleaning out the tech debt
      • CI/CD betterization
      • Better deployments with Ansible
      • Better branching strategy
        • Tag the production branch
        • First admit that there is a problem
      • Checking with the sr engineers about what problems there are
      • Roadmapping the items - seeking funding for low hanging fruit
        • Maintenance
        • Documentation
    • Database change management
    • Tagging git repos as things are deployed
    • The batman will answer the call
      • Retraining the production support requesters to use the bat-signal
      • Developers are happier not
    • Watch out for the Velociraptors
      • They sneak in and eat your velocity
    • Over optimization
    • What is success for the tech debt exercise?
      • Response:
        • Better automation
        • Sonar runs against the code
        • unit tests with some coverage
      • Challenge:
        • Inspire the team members to:
          • Identify tech debt
          • Start taking steps to remediate the tech debt
        • This is an indication of growth of the members of the team
    • Time to clean up the passwords in the source files
      • -- anonymous
      • It ain't easy to nuke passwords from github, change the password and don't commit any more passwords to github
    • "I need you to fail, so that things get better"
      • Oh and no more working until 4am
    • Cleaning up the home theater after the raid failure
Good stuff as usual, thank you to all for stopping by.
