There’s a bunch of people out there that think I don’t like docker, they are wrong.
I just never understood the hype about it since I didn’t see, (and still don’t) see it being used at large and people seem to understand that as being against it.
(aka the follow up to http://www.krisbuytaert.be/blog/testing-robomow-510)
Lennert was really helpful in dropping by and providing us with some extra isolaters for the cable… the RoboMow is now doing it’s work nicely again.
Yet we ran into another hickup. for some reason the Robomow stopped. The bleeping sound indicated yet another cable cut .. but I couldn’t find it …until I opened the the docking station … where I saw the cable had loosened , after fixing that … everything started working fine again ..
When I started writing this I wrote “Last week Opscode came” obviously now that is “A couple of months ago Opscode came with a bunch of announcements … one of them being that they are also going to support the Open Source Chef .. rather than only their own platform.
I’d love to see more companies formally do this .. Over the past couple of years I’ve had numerous situations where organizations where happy to pay for support to an commercial backer of Open Source software… but they were not interested in , software updates, fancy dashboards , unneeded features.
People often wonder why DBA’s used to hate developers, and with DBA’s also the System Engineers,
(note that I just expanded devops by adding dba’s to the picture..)
So let me tell you a story ..
A couple of weeks ago one of our customers wanted to start experimenting with a new type of CRM. A gamified CRM.
Zurmo …
So we set this thing up in a dev environment and started playing with it , while at first it looks nice ..
the application actually felt pretty slow.. however given that is a low resource development environment we looked no further.
Last month I gave an 5 minute Ignite talk at #devopsdays Amsterdam.
To summarize .. it was a rant against people that think that the end of a sprint their work is done, an idea they might have gotten from a broken definition of done.
Both the video recording and the slides are embedded below.
