APOLOGIES - on our quest to find the perfect 'quiet' bar to record within we tried Rogue & Vagabond (way too loud), and ended up at HUSK which wasn't too bad ... but still.Have no fear though, because aurynn overcomes the noise factor by telling us all something VERY BLOODY COOL! And she sticks to telling us about despite Mike wanting to drink more beer (grrr him).Her New Zealand Mastodon project is nearing completion ... find out why she has done it, what it means for us all, and how we can get aboard ... in the coming weeks!- https://nz.linkedin.com/in/aurynn- https://twitter.com/aurynn- https://eiara.nz/------------------------------------------------------New Zealand tech, media, & startup podcast hosted by Mike Riversdale, Raj Khushal, Vivian Chandra, and others.

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Aurynn Shaw about how DevOps, Microservices and other “technical” approaches are in fact cultural constraints on technical ideas and what’s needed to make the culture sustainable. Key takeaways: * Running and testing a program on the developer desktop is not running the program * You must rethink the approach to building the software based on the way it will be deployed * DevOps isn’t about the tooling – it is about the context in which we find ourselves * Sustainable DevOps is about understanding the system that makes up the organisation ecosystem and what needs to change to enable the new ways of working * Design the system to help prevent dangerous actions rather than laying blame when something goes wrong * As a technologist you want to say “yes” – fix the systems around you that force you to say “no” * When examining the system we will discover that we’ve done things that we’re not happy about and must accept that they happened without apportioning blame

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Aurynn Shaw This week on My Ruby Story, Charles talks to Aurynn Shaw. Aurynn got into programming when she was helping clients at a contracting company deploy early web things using Perl. Programming really clicked for her when she was fascinated by how programs really work when she created her own language. Currently, she works with Python for Lambdas and is doing a lot of client work. This includes building deployment pipelines and helping them ask information security questions. She also discusses programming culture and her views on it. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: How did you first get introduced into programming? GameDove Matt’s Script Archive Perl What made programming click for you? Writing her own language Python, Java, and JavaScript Do you work a lot with Ruby? Writing software is less relevant to what she is doing now What are you most proud of in your career? Contempt culture OpenStack Cloud in New Zealand SaltStack DevOps StartUp Weekend Her Blog Post Changed perspective on coding Hacker Culture Her Ruby Rogues Episode What are you working on now?

We check in with aurynn shaw (@aurynn), continuing on from previous episodes, "The Culture of tech" and "Engineers disease" (jumping straight to proposing solutions rather than working with people to understand the problem first).We discuss ‘pattern match thinking’ and how to avoid it breaking down the barriers between Devs vs Ops as well as unpacking ’Contempt culture’ in tech a factor aurynn attempts to change within organisations.There is a lot in this one, enjoy the ride.------------------------------------------------------We share the stories from people that work in New Zealand tech, social media, startups.

“Culture is what do not what we do say”This is the continuation of the amazing chat we had with aurynn shaw (@aurynn / http://eiara.nz/ – part 2 of a chat we had last week). Mike and aurynn talk further about “Engineers disease” – jumping straight to proposing solutions rather than working with people to understand the problem 1st. “You think you know enough to solve the problem”.“Engineering is the easy part, but the talking to others and not ruining their day is the the hard part”.We also dive into (and some of the origins of) 'sexism in tech'. This may start a great debate, let it marinate and please leave comments or talk to us on Twitter and/or Facebook.------------------------------------------------------We share the stories from people that work in New Zealand tech, social media, startups.

We chat with aurynn shaw (@aurynn / http://eiara.nz/), part 2 of a chat we had months ago – The Default Human - as the team talk about devops in organisations, the cultural as well as the technical aspects, and how change can occur – for the right reasons. aurynn shares a story of how Devs can have a “we're better than you” mentality much like sports rivalry which isn’t important and then introduces us to “Engineers disease” – which is a conversation for another podcast.Anna (@where_is_anna) from PledgeMe is also back to give us an update on the amazing things happening on the site.------------------------------------------------------We share the stories from people that work in New Zealand tech, social media, startups.

aurynn shaw (@contraurnnian) from Eiara is one of those people we have long time admired from afar for her honesty, strength and passions. We talk photography, moving countries, working for Weta Digital, writing code and what's the default human?! During this chat it was a revelation to hear how hard it can for devops and how Aurynn went through it and out to the other side.Oh, and she challenges Mike big time and that’s why we are definitely working on having aurynn as a regular on the show, fingers crossed. Enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------We share the stories from people that work in New Zealand tech, social media, startups.
