[8:49] Donovan talks about redefining his success and the decision he and his wife made to go live the life they want to live. [12:03] Living paycheck to paycheck is a bad idea, regardless of how big the paycheck is. [14:02] The importance of paying yourself first and making good money choices. [17:50] If it's putting money in your pocket, it's an asset. Some houses are assets, while others are liabilities. [18:36] Your money is your number one employee. [23:42] Donovan gives his thoughts on inflation. [31:00] Donovan gives advice for those early on in their career in both programming and making wise money decisions, including avoiding credit card debt. [31:26] The importance of being tenacious despite not having a degree or experience. [40:47] Donovan encourages programmers to learn a language that allows them to dabble in all different platforms.   Mentioned in this Episode: Clear Measure Way Architect Forum Software Engineer Forum Programming with Palermo — New Video Podcast!

Donovan has traveled the globe helping companies develop solutions using agile practices in many industries. Donovan is an avid programmer, often finding ways to integrate software into his other hobbies and activities.   Topics of Discussion: [3:02] Donovan talks about the high points of his career and what led him to work in the Azure CTO incubations team at Microsoft. [7:14] What are the differences in a DevOps environment for microservices from an interior application? [9:49] There can be pure and perfect pipelines for microservices, but there's a whole bunch of gray there. [12:25] Microservices are as small as they can be but no smaller. [14:22] Donovan shares that what he is thinking about is which of these do I need to scale independently of everything else, and how can he then write it in such a way that it works. [18:44] Donovan shares why he calls himself “test aware.” [25:57] How do you decide if a microservice needs to scale separately from the rest of the application? [31:02] When Donovan thinks of Web3, the first thing that pops into his mind is blockchains. [32:18] To Donovan, the technology is about the blockchain that underlies it, the ability to write smart contracts that live on that blockchain, and being able to democratize a lot of things that today are centralized through the people who do our authentication for us and who own our data. [34:53] What's the current state of DevOps, and where are we on the Web3 curve? Donovan talks about the need to educate yourself about it, and to make sure you listen to a diversity of opinions. [41:35] NFTs can actually be used for really clever use cases that a lot of people just haven't seen yet.   Mentioned in this Episode: Architect Tips — New video podcast!

Hello best friends and introverts! This week we're welcoming our first guest: Donovan Brown. Donovan is my extroverted husband of almost five years who graciously agreed to sit in the podcast closet with me and chat about our decision to be childfree. He'll be dishing on what it was like to get a vasectomy and any regrets he may have about getting the procedure or deciding not to have kids. We'll also be talking about Netflix's "Drive to Survive." Spoiler: We are now officially Formula 1 people.

Trevor and Jason are joined by Donovan Brown at Microsoft Ignite 2018, and have a quick catch up on the event and the state of the DevOps world.

Time to rub a little DevOps on it! Carl and Richard talk to Donovan Brown about the state of DevOps at Microsoft - including some important changes! The conversation starts out talking about the latest tooling making it easier than ever to get a great automated pipeline of continuous delivery. But that's not enough, there's a cultural shift that has to happen also. Donovan talks about how IT folks can resist the changes that come with rapid deployment, and Richard argues back about how IT roles struggle - the solution is to create common goals around value to the customer. Meantime, there's big news at Microsoft - Visual Studio Team Services is becoming Azure DevOps, and opening the door to a more diverse way to rub more DevOps on everything you do!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations
