Posted: GitOps is a placebo stevesmith.tech/blog/gitops-…
Why #GitOps:
1. is just a rebadging of #ContinuousDelivery and #InfraAsCode ideas
2. has no new ideas of substance
3. contains 'best practices' that won't always work
3. offers no benefits that can't be achieved without GitOps

Want to build better roadmaps? Come along to @mostalive and @marcevers discussion session to learn from others - "How do you map your roads?" - at June's Agile Cambridge conference. One of 30 great sessions. bit.ly/3w3Wiuk - #agilecam

If you're looking for a well-regarded book on what object-orientation is really about, from folks who really know this stuff - then you can't beat this book. So it's wonderful that you can get such a great book as a free PDF download.
Our classic OOD book, Object Design: Roles, Responsibilities, and Collaborations is available for free to download as a pdf from Pearson's website ( they've graciously made this available). You can download it at informit.com/promotions/obje… and share w/ students

In a world full of opinions and statements, I really like @mattwynne regularly asking questions #appreciation

Last week I gave a lightning talk for @Aginextio called “Are you passionate?” I’ve given it a few times over the years, but as far as I know, this is the first time it was recorded: youtube.com/watch?v=KgYEPmRy…

One of the most effective ways to reduce developer performance: add threads.
(Often also an effective way to reduce runtime performance...)

Act as if everything you do now right now matters. Not just for yourself, but for everyone around you. That's what we have to do in the face of this uncertainty.

Tomorrow I'll be running an "Introduction to Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD)" webinar.

I'm running it twice, so hopefully you'll be able to come to one of them.
Registration is free.

Practicing #TCR has led me to a new assertion:
forNow(boolean) {
assert(boolean);
}
I kept wanting to say, "This is the current answer, not the right answer, but I want to commit because further changes would be risky."

It was 1979, this lost video shows Adele Goldberg of Xeroy PARC give a demonstration of precisely what Steve Jobs saw—just a few months earlier.
We see Smalltalk, the mouse, graphical user interface, windows, pop-up menus & browsers.
This demonstration changed Steve—forever.
