The culture of your programming community directly impacts your professional success. As Thunderbolt Labs Founder Randall Thomas explains in this episode, a community that practices openness and which warmly welcomes its newer members leads to greater career happiness. We open our chat with Randall by exploring his start in coding and how he discovered Elixir. He shares some of the teething problems that he had moving from Ruby to Elixir before we touch on how learning other languages expands your ability to both appreciate and code in languages that you’re already fluent in. Following this, Randall explodes the myth of the genius polyglot programmer by sharing his take on why all coders are polyglots. As the Thunderbolt CEO, we ask Randall how his company adopted Elixir. He provides listeners with insights into how they introduced Elixir into their practice without affecting existing projects. After highlighting the efficiency of Elixir and how community affects the feel of a language, we compare the culture and challenges of Ruby, JavaScript, and Elixir. Near the end of the episode, Randall reflects on why experts make for poor teachers. For Randall, Elixir gives his company a competitive advantage. Tune in to hear Randall’s perspective on why community matters and for his top advice on teaching your team Elixir.

However, year-over-year growth dropped from last year’s first quarter. Microsoft’s “Intelligent Cloud” unit, which includes Azure, grew 11 percent, to $6.8 billion. Microsoft doesn’t break out Azure revenue specifically, but said Azure saw a 93 percent increase in revenue over last year. Google Cloud is buried somewhere in “Other Bets” on Alphabet earnings, a segment that grew 50 percent to $3.1 billion. What’s the Halo Effect on this?

Welcome to another Front Line Friday with my very special guest (and Front Line Friday co-host), Bridget Gleason, VP of Sales for Logz.io.   KEY TAKEAWAYS [1:43] Bridget likes to finish with the panic before the end of the year. The last two weeks of the year, reps say, “I don’t have anything else to close this quarter.” Bridget says, “So start building up to where you need to be for the next quarter.” [2:56] By the end of January, Bridget likes reps to be well on the way to meeting their first quarter goals. As VP of Sales, Bridget needs to have the year’s structure — territories, hiring, ramping — all set, to focus on the year’s success. [4:45] Bridget sometimes postpones personnel issues until the new year, to focus on finishing the year well, but, as soon as possible in the year, has that difficult conversation. [6:08] Andy says to have those conversations back in October or November — because the problem is evident by then — so you have the team composition in place that you need by January. [7:01] In sales, the data identifies there’s something that’s not working. Millennials in particular, would like ongoing feedback. If managers provide feedback often and early, then the final conversation isn’t as difficult, because it’s not a surprise. [8:58] Andy wants to see successes in January — milestones, closes, shared successes — to build team confidence. It is crucial to keep the team motivated. [12:20] Angela Duckworth’s, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, says great performers are often made by the team, as opposed to great players making the team great. Bridget wants a team that makes people better for being on it. [13:13] Andy believes a team gives you more people to hold you accountable, because no one wants to let their teammates down. Everybody wants to contribute. [15:30] Bridget ‘feels that in spades,’ about her company, Logz.io. Team accountability applies not only to sales professionals, but to all levels of a company. It’s a mesh. [16:35] What has inspired Bridget recently? Angela Duckworth’s book on grit, teaches that intelligence matters, but if others are smarter than we are, we can do a lot to counter that by persistence, and by hard work. [18:19] Bridget shares a story of a personal sacrifice made by one of her managers, with quiet determination, to help close out the big year-end deals. Some sacrifices are needed and appreciated, without apparent martyrdom attached. [23:05] In the first month, pay attention to what’s going on; get early successes for the team; and deal with problems, regardless of sunk cost, whether personnel, or projects that will never close. Take a hard look at everything. CONTACT BRIDGET GLEASON Bridget is VP of Sales with Logz.io, in the U.S. office in Boston, and was previously VP of Corporate Sales at SumoLogic.

In this episode Kenneth turns the table on Kevin and chats about a recent successful migration between clouds and architectures. Kevin and his team at Platform45 recently migrated a well established application (www.resourceguruapp.com) from AWS and EngineYard to Google Container Engine. This was a non-trivial migration from a managed platform and a collection of third-party services to a containerised deployment with minimal external dependencies. We talked about the challenges they faced (turned out to be not too many), the new stack they're building on and how Google Container Engine works. We dive deeply into the various components offered by Google's Kubernetes project, the open source technology that powers Google Container Engine, and how Kevin leverages them to take control of his environment. Technology aside, this does highlight the fact that it is possible to move between cloud providers. The team retooled their deployments to take advantage of Kubernetes' rolling deployments, they migrated their state from AWS to Google Cloud, communicated clearly with their customers and handled one unexpected event gracefully.

Day two of the Tectonic 2015 Summit kicked off with a short stack and a panel discussion facilitated by The New Stack's Managing Editor Joab Jackson, with support from The New Stack's Technical Editor & Producer Benjamin Ball and contributor Lawrence Hecht. The panel: Gabriel Monroy, CTO at Engine Yard and the creator of Deis Matthew Brender, Developer Advocate, Software Defined Infrastructure team at Intel Corporation Alex Polvi, Founder and CEO at CoreOS, Inc. At the outset, Polvi promised, as a reward for those attending so early, that the panel would make things “as controversial as we possibly can,” the likelihood of which was increased by the numerous topics — container security, the enterprise adoption curve, DevOps as a job description, how to compete with AWS, the prospective lock-in with Kubernetes and which open source projects it will make redundant — served up in the electric atmosphere during this breezy session. Any and all controversy that was to be had has been captured for this edition of The New Stack Analysts podcast.

With more than twenty years of sales and sales management experience in the technology sector, Bridget joined SumoLogic’s executive team to lead and grow their inside sales organization. Her recent experience includes being VP of Sales for Yesware and SVP of Worldwide Sales for Engine Yard. Bridget and I focus on two sales topics in this episode that you won’t want to miss. First, what is the role of luck in sales? Is it really true in sales that the harder you work, the luckier you get? And, why do sales leaders often overlook the hard work that goes into making a deal look easy? Second, we talk about why sales leads aren’t consistently followed up. The problem starts with the lack of a defined process for managing leads and we’ll tell you what you can do to fix that problem.

With more than twenty years of sales and sales management experience in the technology sector, Bridget joined SumoLogic’s executive team to lead and grow their inside sales organization. Her recent experience includes being VP of Sales for Yesware and SVP of Worldwide Sales for Engine Yard. Bridget and I cover a lot of topics in this episode that you won’t want to miss. Among other issues, we discuss the overuse and misuse of the term “sales acceleration” by sellers and provide guidance about how to precisely define in order to align your sales process to help buyers make faster decisions. We dive into a discussion about how sellers need to understand their “lead deficit” and what the roles of sales and marketing should be in lead generation. Also, we talk in depth the sales metrics that individuals and teams should be using to measure their activity levels and outcomes.

Over the coming weeks we’ll tackle a range of topics associated with the challenges of rapidly growing sales and scaling a high performance sales team in a competitive market. In this episode we talk about how hard it can be to find sales advice that you can trust. Bridget and I examine some of the advice and wisdom that is found on sales blogs. It’s a free world and everyone is entitled to their opinion. But, is doesn’t mean that they’re right. We’ll help sort that out in this episode.

It has now been 25 times that Ed and Chris have fired up Skype and talked to each other and some friends, old and new, about whatever the hell they felt like talking about.

In this episode Ed talked about his experiences at CodeConnex, Chris tried to goad Ed into further ranting and arguments about the latest round of push-backs against the microframework manifesto and people crying about other people crying about dependencies in their code. The show then ended with Ed speaking about the very real challenge of creating awesome infinite scrolling experiences, which made Chris realize he is better off learning Javascript just to use Node and avoid the mess that is the DOM.

Nathan also discusses his previous life as a PHP guy, what XMPP is all about, and his book-in-progress on Lua scripting in Redis. Thanks again to our awesome sponsor for this episode Engine Yard.

First off, we now have a sponsor for the podcast: Engine Yard. This is something they will surely regret after listening to this episode. We started off with the idea of talking about technologies we wish we had time to play with. Ed was talking about his attempts at exploring Clojure, and how it’s likely he’ll be using Python for work in the near future. This leads into a discussion of what attracts us to certain languages and technologies, and when to try to work a personal interest in to your day job. Then Chris talks about how he will likely mess around with evented stuff like Node.js or Twisted for his next book about HTTP APIs or whatever. We also go off on a discussion about HTPC stuff. I can’t really remember how we got there. In reality we mostly bullshitted through the whole thing, and made fun of Engine Yard a bunch. Hopefully they know that they have awesome products and don’t hate us now. Feel free to hit us up on Twitter at @dev_hell or harass Ed and Chris directly.

Chris Matthieu and Steven Bristol interviewed Ezra Zygmuntowicz, the co-founder of Engine Yard! This 1 hour and 20 minute interview goes deep inside Ezra's mind. We covered his early programming days where he almost selected Python instead of Ruby but then came to his senses. We also discussed the early days of Engine Yard as well as the present infrastructure and the totally awesome new projects including: MERB, Rubinius, and Vertebra. Ezra is a really cool thought-leader in the Ruby/Rails community. Engine Yard is an incredibly innovative, business-class Rails hosting service with the ability to scale. My apologies in advance for some of the VoIP R2D2 experienced during this recording. The content is well worth it!
