[10:11] Rod talks about Code Magazine and how it has developed over the years. [11:01] Rod speaks about the state of remote work, and how it's giving people time back for more creativity. [15:29] What are the important factors and Rod's process when planning for applications to live a long time? [21:26] Rewriting applications is a lot of times harder than building from the ground up. [23:22] There are a lot of ways to build, and that includes both planning and a little bit of luck. [24:02] When do you know if it's time to rebuild a current application? [26:08] You have to know where your problems and pain are, and every system has pain. [29:34] Why is laziness a good thing for a software developer? [36:50] People are very resilient and very resourceful, and they will figure out how to make your software do stuff you would never expect.   Mentioned in this Episode: Architect Tips — New video podcast!

Eugene S. Robinson is a multihyphenate of the highest order  — a singer-writer-artist-punk-ass-kicker-Editor-at-Large — and the first dude I'm going to call if I get into a fight. We talk about starting a hardcore band at 19, Black “authenticity,” life at Stanford University and getting invited to an orgy at 18-year-olds. We finally talk about the rise and fall of Code Magazine, and how Lenny Kravitz' nipple may have short-circuited the greatest men's magazine in history. I ask what Franz Fanon would think of an Oxbow show and Eugene has a really good reason for disliking Ohio.” Resources: Twitter: https://twitter.com/eugeneSrobinson (@eugeneSrobinson) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EugeneSRobinson (https://www.facebook.com/EugeneSRobinson) Buy some cool shit: http://oxbow.merchtable.com/ (oxbow.merchtable.com) Listen to https://open.spotify.com/artist/4m47y2u5lJBKbakAv5YAh1 (Oxbow on Spotify) https://www.patreon.com/thestomper (The Show Stomper) https://www.amazon.com/Fight-Everything-Wanted-Ass-Kicking-Afraid/dp/0061189227 (“Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking But Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking”) https://www.amazon.com/Long-Slow-Screw-Eugene-Robinson/dp/1439244243 (“A Long Slow Screw”) https://www.amazon.com/Inimitable-Sounds-Love-Threesome-Four/dp/0956674623 (“The Inimitable Sounds of Love: A Threesome in Four Acts”) Let's Talk: Website: https://conversationforadults.com/ (conversationforadults.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conversationforadults/ (@conversationforadults) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/conversationforadultswithjimiizrael/ (facebook.com/conversationforadultswithjimiizrael) Twitter: https://twitter.com/convoforadults (@convoforadults) Conversation for Adults is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

Today’s episode is all about recognizing middle-of-the-day deployments; how teams such as Netflix, Facebook, and even the Azure DevOps Product Team are doing them; and taking a look at how other teams can achieve that for themselves!   Jeffrey Palermo’s guest today is Eric Fleming, a Software Architect at Clear Measure. Eric leads an intense team, developing and operating a mission-critical software system in the financial sector. He lives in Alpharetta, Georgia, and is a host of the Function Junction Youtube Channel, which is all about Azure functions. He’s also written articles for MSDN Magazine and CODE Magazine.   In this episode, Eric takes Jeffrey through his journey of inheriting a monolithic software system and the major transformations he had to execute to get it where it is today; deploying in the middle of the day! He explains the key steps he took in breaking up the monolith, the development process, who was involved, what the structure and DevOps environments looked like, and all of the details you need to know if you’re finding yourself in a similar situation!   Topics of Discussion: [:52] How to get your hands on Jeffrey’s book, .NET DevOps for Azure. [2:04] About today’s episode and featured guest. [3:00] Jeffrey welcomes Eric to the podcast! [3:06] Eric begins the story of how he inherited a software system and the journey it took getting it to deploy in the middle of the day. [9:58] Fast forward to today, what does this software system look like now? [11:50] What does Eric attribute to his ability to handle a high-throughput in only four app servers? [15:52] Eric’s process for deploying the 50-sum processes that need to be deployed. [17:32] A word from Azure DevOps sponsor: Clear Measure. [17:59] Eric speaks about their Git Repositories. [19:25] Eric explains what the structure and DevOps environments of one of his applications looks like (that is a Windows service with its own Git Repository). [21:45] Who is involved whenever part of the system is being deployed? [25:37] Has there been development process differences during their monthly deployments/monolith time? [26:22] Now that they are shipping every day/whenever they need to, what has become of their sprints? And how do they get some features done in just a day and ready to deploy within days? What does this look like and how do they implement this pattern? [31:50] Do sprints even exist in this new world? [33:31] The major transformations that Eric had to execute to get to where he is today with the software system, and some of the first steps he took to breaking up the monolith. [36:27] Would Eric have been able to start breaking the monolith apart if he didn’t have automated tests? [38:47] Resources Eric recommends to listeners in a similar situation to where he was!   Mentioned in this Episode: Azure DevOps Clear Measure (Sponsor) — Reach out to Jeffrey @JeffreyPalermo on Twitter if you have a user group or conference and would like some free copies of .NET DevOps for Azure! .NET DevOps for Azure, by Jeffrey Palermo bit.ly/dotnetdevopsproject — Visit for an example of .Net DevOps for Azure Function Junction Youtube Channel MSDN Magazine CODE MagazineEric Flemming’s Twitter: @EFleming18 NServiceBus Particular SoftwareTeamCity Octopus Deploy Sumo Logic New Relic Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations, by Nicole Forsgren PhD, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim The DevOps Handbook: How to Create World-Class Agility, Reliability, and Security in Technology Organizations, by Gene Kim, Patrick Debois, John Willis, and Jez Humble The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win, by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, and George Spafford   Want to Learn More?

John Petersen has been developing software for over 20 years. It all started when, as a staff accountant, he was asked to get involved in a system upgrade to replace an old IBM Series 1 computer (about the size of a large refrigerator!). Those first programs were written in Clipper in the summer of 1987. Since that time, tools he has used include dBase, FoxBase, Visual FoxPro, and Visual Basic. An early adopter of .NET, he then decided to go to law school. After practicing law for a few years, John realized that technology was a lot more interesting than the law. Today, John focuses on ASP.NET development and is having more fun than ever solving problems for clients. John is a Practice Director for Custom Application Development at Neudesic, a Microsoft Gold Partner and the Trusted Technology Partner in Business Innovation. A 9-time recipient of Microsoft's Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award, John is currently an ASP.NET/IIS MVP. John is also an ASP Insider and is the INETA Mentor for Pennsylvania and West Virginia. John is the author of several books and is a frequent contributor to Code Magazine and DevConnections Magazines. John holds a BS in Business Administration from Mansfield University, an MBA in Information Systems from St. Joseph's University, and a JD from the Rutgers School of Law – Camden.John Petersen has been developing software for over 20 years.

Walt's enthusiasm for crafting software interfaces blossomed early.  Just a few days after discovering how to make pixels move around the screen of a borrowed computer he was devouring books on the topic of computer graphics and UI design.  Now he travels the world speaking at software conferences and teaching a diverse portfolio of programming topics for corporate clients. On the consulting side he continues to work with customers like Microsoft, HP, Intel, and Intuit and enjoys being part of the Wintellect consultant group.He has over fifty hours of video training courses available in the WintellectNow, Lynda and Udemy catalogs.  He writes for several publications including Code Magazine and has a new "HLSL and Pixel Shaders for XAML Developer" book available from O'Reilly Media. His current UI obsession revolves around the Windows 8 Metro, Mobile, ASP.NET MVC and WPF APIs.  This year he is learning as much as he can about Xamarin. You can find his blog at xamlwonderland.com. Walt is also a Microsoft MVP and author of the free Shazzam Shader Editor (shazzam-tool.com). He is also deeply involved in the local developer community — founding the .NET Developers Association in Redmond, WA and continues to help organize the Seattle Code Camp, developer hackathons and other local events.
