Today on the show, Will and Jonathan discuss the latest tools they have been using for CDIC deployments.  Specifically, they discuss the Next.js framework, which allows DevOps teams to provide richer application experiences without relying as much on backend infrastructure.  That shift has implications for everything from the amount of network bandwidth consumed to the performance of web applications. Moreover, within the Next.js family, the Vercel platform employs caching, routing, and a React framework to optimize application performance.

Enjoy this philosophical conversation around building code more responsibly and how ethics and accountability is to be integrated into the DevOps industry. Eric Tank joins the show and shares his perspective on how to “develop for deprecation”. Building a code that is documented, tested, monitored, and deployed is important, but can you easily pass it off to someone else, or be able to walk away from the code it entirely? Johnathan joins by saying that “software is never done until it’s deleted.” They finish the discussion referencing apprenticeship models and how accountability in this way could parallel other industries.Sponsors

Ready to show off your coding skills to the world? Not so fast. In this episode, Will and Jillian discuss why developers need to simplify their product with the end goal in mind—the customer. They share some awesome examples of how to do this, how you can win Future You’s approval, and the steps to create a smooth user experience.“I think it’s a hard mental shift to say that my area of expertise shouldn’t be visible in the product. But, you need to understand the end goal. My goal is to automate myself out of a job, then move on.”

• Will Button

In This Episode:
 Jillian shares a killer example that should inspire all DevOps people to simplify their process
 As a programmer, you want to tell the customer how great your programming is, right? Hold on…Will shares a different perspective
 How Will approaches his programming that avoids all customer confusion and creates a seamless experience
 What Jillian believes is MORE important than learning how to code (sometimes)
