When Colleen Bowman didn't get into her dietetics internship—twice—she thought her career was over before it began. Instead, that rejection became the catalyst that launched her into becoming a transformative HR leader at one of the most unique companies in America. "I had a little too much fun in college," Colleen admits with a laugh. But that social experience—building networks, connecting with people—turned out to be the foundation of everything that followed. Today, as VP of Human Resources at IAC, she oversees benefits for a portfolio of brands you know and use every day: Angie's List, People Magazine, Food & Wine, and dozens more. This conversation with host Laurie McGraw isn't just about climbing the corporate ladder—it's about how the detours define us. For Colleen, those detours included a boss who told her she wasn't ready for a promotion (spoiler: she was), mentors who took chances on her, and the realization that sometimes you have to stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them. What makes Colleen's leadership philosophy unique? "Empathetic with expectations." She leads with understanding but refuses to treat her team "too preciously." She believes in them too much for that. She sets high standards because she knows they can meet them. Now, as healthcare costs explode and benefits become the single largest line item on corporate balance sheets, Colleen is tackling one of business's biggest challenges: How do you get employees to care about their health before it's a crisis? How do you communicate complex benefits to diverse populations—from magazine editors to home repair professionals? And how do you treat a benefits program like the multi-million dollar business it actually is? In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Colleen also speaks about:  Why saying "yes" to everything early in your career is essential—and when you need to start saying "no" How to build trust and partnerships that actually move the needle in organizations  What happens when benefits become too big for leadership to ignore  Why HR's "seat at the table" debate misses the real point How to navigate the coming healthcare crisis with transparency and trust  What "fake it till you make it" really means for women leaders Chapter Markers 03:37 From Nutrition Dreams to Benefits Reality  08:17 When Your Boss Says You're Not Ready  10:51 Building Relationships as a Leadership Superpower  14:49 Raising Your Hand vs. Reaching for Opportunities  16:24 Empathetic with Expectations: A New Leadership Model  19:38 The Business of Benefits in Divisive Times Guest & Host Links Connect with Laurie McGraw on LinkedIn Connect with Colleen Bowman on LinkedIn Connect with Inspiring Women Browse Episodes | LinkedIn | Instagram | Apple | Spotify

Episode SummaryDive into the ever-evolving world of platform engineering with Cory O'Daniel, CEO and co-founder of Massdriver. This episode explores the journey of DevOps, the challenges of building and scaling infrastructure, and the crucial role of creating effective abstractions to empower developers. Cory shares his insights on the shift towards platform engineering as a means to build more secure and efficient software by default.Show NotesIn this episode of The Secure Developer, host Danny Allan sits down with Cory O'Daniel, CEO and co-founder of Massdriver, to discuss the dynamic landscape of platform engineering. Cory, a seasoned software engineer and first-time CEO, shares his extensive experience in the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) space, tracing his journey from early encounters with EC2 to founding Massdriver. He offers candid advice for developers aspiring to become CEOs, emphasizing the importance of passion and early customer engagement.  The conversation delves into the evolution of DevOps over the past two decades, highlighting the constant changes in how software is run, from mainframes to serverless containers and now AI. Cory argues that the true spirit of DevOps lies in operations teams producing products that developers can easily use. He points out the challenge of scaling operations expertise, suggesting that IT and Cloud practices need to mature in software development to create better abstractions for developers, rather than expecting developers to become infrastructure experts.  A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the current state of abstractions in IaC. Cory contends that existing public abstractions, like open-source Terraform modules, are often too generic and don't account for specific business logic, security, or compliance requirements. He advocates for operations teams building their own prescriptive modules that embed organizational standards, effectively shifting security left by design rather than by burdening developers. The episode also touches upon the potential and limitations of AI in the operations space, with Cory expressing skepticism about AI's current ability to handle the contextual complexities of infrastructure without significant, organization-specific training data. Finally, Cory shares his optimism for the future of platform engineering, viewing it as a return to the original intentions of DevOps, where operations teams ship software with ingrained security and compliance, leading to more secure systems by default.LinksMassDriverAnsibleChefTerraformDevOps is BullshitElephant in the CloudDockerPostgresOpenTofuHelmRedisElixirSnyk - The Developer Security Company Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn

Cuando están activos, los agujeros negros supermasivos desempeñan un papel crucial en la forma en que evolucionan las galaxias. Hasta ahora se pensaba que su crecimiento se debía a la violenta colisión de dos galaxias seguida de su fusión; sin embargo, una nueva investigación sugiere que las fusiones de galaxias por sí solas no son suficientes para alimentar un agujero negro, también se necesita un depósito de gas frío en el centro de la galaxia anfitriona. Nos lo cuenta Cristina Ramos Almeida, investigadora en el IAC y responsable del proyecto QSOFEED.

Você já parou pra pensar no real papel da segurança em ambientes DevOps e Cloud Native? No episódio 164 da sétima temporada do Kubicast, recebemos Alexandre Sieira, fundador da Tenchi Security, para um papo direto sobre riscos, maturidade e os dilemas que rondam a segurança na nuvem.Com uma bagagem de quem vive segurança no campo de batalha, Sieira compartilhou experiências práticas e provocou reflexões importantes sobre o quanto (ou o quão pouco) estamos preparados.Problemas enfrentadosFalta de maturidade em segurança, especialmente em estruturas que escalam rápido demais.Risco cibernético de terceiros, muitas vezes ignorado por times técnicos.Conflitos entre times Dev, Ops e Sec, gerando lacunas críticas na operação.Uso indiscriminado de ambientes compartilhados (como o namespace default).Soluções adotadasConstrução de ambientes segmentados, com compartimentalização de acesso.Aplicação de princípios como Zero Trust e Least Privilege desde a infraestrutura.Uso consciente de Infraestrutura como Código (IaC) para garantir rastreabilidade e governança.Fortalecimento da comunicação entre times e redefinição de responsabilidades.Ao longo do episódio, algumas lições importantes ficaram muito claras: segurança não é responsabilidade de um time só — ela precisa ser compartilhada entre Dev, Ops e Sec, desde a fundação da infraestrutura. A busca por agilidade não pode justificar decisões que negligenciam riscos estruturais. Invulnerabilidade não existe, mas estar preparado para lidar com ataques é o que separa ambientes resilientes de verdadeiros pontos cegos operacionais.Entre as boas práticas discutidas, ficou evidente a importância de evitar o uso do namespace default, que muitas vezes vira um terreno sem dono e sem governança. Pensar em blast radius ao definir permissões é essencial para limitar o impacto de qualquer falha ou invasão. A centralização inteligente — onde faz sentido — aliada à delegação consciente ajuda a equilibrar autonomia com controle. Por fim, ficou reforçado que segurança não pode ser um impeditivo, e sim uma parte natural da cultura do time, que viabiliza entregas melhores e mais sustentáveis.Apresentado por João Brito, seu host favorito (@juniorjbn). O Kubicast é uma produção da Getup, empresa especialista em Kubernetes e projetos open source para Kubernetes. Os episódios do podcast estão nas principais plataformas de áudio digital e no YouTube.com/@getupcloud.

AI agents are set to transform software development, but software itself isn't going anywhere—despite the dramatic predictions. On this episode of The New Stack Makers, Mark Hinkle, CEO and Founder of Peripety Labs, discusses how AI agents relate to serverless technologies, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and configuration management. Hinkle envisions AI agents as “dumb robots” handling tasks like querying APIs and exchanging data, while the real intelligence remains in large language models (LLMs). These agents, likely implemented as serverless functions in Python or JavaScript, will automate software development processes dynamically. LLMs, leveraging vast amounts of open-source code, will enable AI agents to generate bespoke, task-specific tools on the fly—unlike traditional cloud tools from HashiCorp or configuration management tools like Chef and Puppet. As AI-generated tooling becomes more prevalent, managing and optimizing these agents will require strong observability and evaluation practices. According to Hinkle, this shift marks the future of software, where AI agents dynamically create, call, and manage tools for CI/CD, monitoring, and beyond. Check out the full episode for more insights. Learn more from The New Stack about emerging trends in AI agents: Lessons From Kubernetes and the Cloud Should Steer the AI RevolutionAI Agents: Why Workflows Are the LLM Use Case to Watch Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

We last spoke mid-2023. For those that missed that show, tell us about your background…Topic 2 - When we last spoke, we talked about DevOps 2.0. Give everyone an update on the state of the industry. DevOps 2.0, IaC, etc. Where are we at in that journey? For instance, what's broken with IaC in the existing approaches and why a new approach?Topic 3 - One thing I've noticed in research for this topic is the move to visual and UI to conceptualize the environment and the corresponding actions. APIs and command lines will always have a place but what are your thoughts on this trend? I personally fall asleep every time someone gives a talk an industry conference and they pull up the command line for their demo. But, I'm also a visual learner.Topic 4 - When I've thought about both DevOps and IaC in the past, my mind immediately jumps to both complexity and dependencies. What do developers today have to consider and have we made any advances here?Topic 5 - Are there new metrics for success? With DevOps is was number of code commits, with IaC it was number of seamless deployments and actions. What do development teams look for today as the consider new platforms and tools?Topic 6 - I can see this being an area that could be impacted by AI in a few ways: 1. the summarization of large amounts of data 2.

Den senaste tiden har en lång rad kända varumärken, som Buttericks och Nathalie Schuterman, gått i konkurs. Bakom siffrorna döljer sig ofta personliga livsöden och krossade företagardrömmar. Och stora skatteskulder. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Rekord i konkurser2024 blev ett rekordår för konkurser. När IAC gick i konkurs hade bolaget en skatteskuld på över en miljard kronor. Även byggbolag som Serneke Sverige, som kastade in handduken för några veckor sen, hade stora skulder. Det är pengar som är att betrakta som förlorade för staten. Högst skuld just nu har Åhléns och SAS. Fiffel och kriminalitetFörutom skulder, höga hyror och dålig försäljning gömmer sig även en del fusk bland konkurserna. Skatteanstånden som infördes under pandemin var “attraktiva för missbruk”, enligt en ny granskning från Riksrevisionen. Och nu har ansvaret för ett annat populärt stödsystem bland kriminella – utbetalningarna från lönegarantin – flyttats från Länsstyrelserna till Skatteverket.

Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The 6.9% yield is the average annualized yield to maturity (YTM) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of 8/28/2024. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore a bond's YTM is “locked in” when the bond is purchased. Your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTM is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTM of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity, or if the issuer calls or defaults on the bond.

The Palisades and Eaton fires have been raging for more than a week now. Restaurants and food vendors have played a huge role in the relief efforts, stepping up in a big way to feed first responders and evacuees.  Father Sal and I discuss a couple of excellent articles on restaurants in the midst of the wildfires, and we speak with three people who've experienced the fires from different perspectives: First is Matthew Schodorf, the co-owner of Cafe De Leche whose Altadena location was completely destroyed by the Eaton fire. We talk to Matt about how they're navigating the situation and what we can do to help.  Second is Liz Gutierrez of Fiorelli Pizza in Venice, one of the first operations to spring into action to help first responders and evacuees. We talk to Liz about what they're doing and how we the public can support restaurants as they carry out this important work.  Finally, we're joined by Inclusive Action for the City's Rudy Espinoza to hear about their fundraiser for outdoor workers - aka the men and women whose livelihoods depend on selling goods or executing jobs on the street. From a food perspective we're talking about taqueros, fruteros, eloteros, and everyone in between.  Helpful Links: Cafe De Leche www.cafedeleche.net Cafe De Leche's GoFundMe for staff https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-CDL-employees-after-the-eaton-fire Fiorelli Pizza https://www.fiorellipizza.com/ Inclusive Action for the City https://www.inclusiveaction.org/ IAC's relief fund for outdoor workers https://www.gofundme.com/f/cash-aid-for-outdoor-workers-impacted-by-la-county-wildfires LA Community Meals https://www.instagram.com/lacommunitymeals/ Khushbu Shah's article on restaurants leading the relief efforts https://khushbushah.substack.com/p/restaurants-were-the-first-to-step Meghan McCarron on food service workers in the Palisades https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/us/los-angeles-fires-service-workers.html Other Relief Efforts: World Central Kitchen https://wck.org/relief/california-fires-jan25 Slice Out Hunger https://sliceouthunger.org/ – Go check out The Lonely Oyster in Echo Park! ⁠https://thelonelyoyster.com/⁠ – Get 10% off at House of Macadamias using code "LAFOOD" https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/pages/la-foods

Guest: Josh Silverman, CEO of EtsyWhen Josh Silverman joined the board of Etsy, he had one condition: “Don't ask me to the be the CEO.” And technically, they didn't ask. One day, he got a phone call informing him the board had elected him as the new CEO, just days before an earnings miss. He knew the odds were against him — layoffs would be necessary, and “I was going to have to be the villain” — but decided to say yes out of a sense of duty to Etsy's users and workers. “If I can be helpful, I have a responsibility to do it,” Josh says.Chapters:(00:55) - Energy management (02:42) - Meetings (09:56) - Etsy's strategy (13:36) - Learning to delegate (17:10) - Setting an example (24:17) - Evite's rise and fall (27:46) - Self vs. company (30:22) - Legacy (34:21) - Control and agency (37:44) - Joining Etsy's board (40:40) - Becoming CEO (46:16) - Culture shock (48:09) - “We need you, trust us” (51:25) - eBay and Skype (57:15) - Pushed out (01:00:40) - Accountability and family (01:03:53) - Time horizons (01:05:55) - Gen AI-supported art (01:08:29) - Who Etsy is hiring and what “grit” means to Josh Mentioned in this episode: Ken Chenault and American Express, Nick Daniel, Rachana Kumar, Ticketmaster and IAC, Etsy Studios, Silverlake, Shopping.com, Google, Microsoft, and Austin City Limits. Links:Connect with JoshLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

In this episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we dive into our Software Professional Resources Board, a dynamic Trello-based hub designed for software professionals looking to enhance their learning and collaboration in the industry. Join us as we share the board's origin story and our journey in creating a comprehensive resource for everything from Extreme Programming (XP), mobbing, and leadership to cloud infrastructure, agile retrospectives, lean principles, and much more. ### What Makes Our Board Unique? We start by exploring why we chose **Trello** for our resource board and how it has become a cornerstone for organizing, sharing, and discovering knowledge. With its flexibility, Trello enables us to create an easily navigable environment, where resources are not only organized but can also be searched, linked, and explored across various software domains. Our conversation touches on other similar boards we've seen, like our popular "Retrospective Techniques for Coaches, Scrum Masters, and Facilitators" board, as well as spin-offs we've created for specific topics. ### A Variety of Topics Our board covers a broad spectrum of topics that are essential for modern software professionals, including **mobbing**, **refactoring**, **leadership**, **Infrastructure as Code (IaC)**, **agile** practices, and more. With resources curated for both technical and strategic learning, the board has become a go-to reference for articles, blog posts, videos, academic papers, book links, and quotes on various disciplines within software development. ### How We Use the Board for Continuous Learning Discover how we leverage the board not only to organize information but to foster continuous learning. We discuss Chris' “community-supported learning binges” and our process for capturing insightful book quotes and key takeaways, turning the board into a knowledge-sharing powerhouse for software teams and individual contributors alike. ### Refactoring the Mind: Evolving the Board to Stay Relevant Our discussion also delves into the concept of "refactoring my mind by refactoring the board"—an idea about how reorganizing knowledge can improve our mental clarity and adaptability in complex projects. This involves regularly revisiting, reshaping, and expanding board content to reflect the latest insights and trends in software development, keeping it a living, breathing resource for our community. ### The Impact of Public Knowledge Sharing One of the most inspiring aspects of this board is its role in **public knowledge sharing**. We highlight feedback from the community, stories of how others have used the board in their professional journeys, and our own experiences with learning in public. By sharing this resource openly, we invite others to benefit from it, create connections, and add to the body of knowledge that supports software development excellence. Whether you're a developer, coach, Scrum Master, or technical leader, this episode offers valuable insights into how to create and use a resources board to drive personal and team growth. Listen in for tips on organizing knowledge, capturing valuable insights, and using community feedback to make a resource board that truly enhances your software development journey. ### Topics Discussed: - The board's origin story and why we chose Trello - Organizing, searching, and sharing resources in Trello - Similar boards, including "Retrospective Techniques for Coaches, Scrum Masters, and Facilitators" - Variety of topics: mobbing, XP, leadership, IaC, agile, cloud, business, tech, retrospectives, and more - Types of media: articles, blogs, videos, book quotes, academic papers, and beyond - Spin-off boards and community learning sessions - Feedback from the community and lessons for public knowledge sharing **Subscribe on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform to catch this episode and more!** Video and Show Notes: https://youtu.be/GmfWWiIeaVY 

In this week's interview, Melinda Marks' joins us to discuss her latest research. Her recent report Modernizing Application Security to Scale for Cloud-Native Development delves into many aspects and trends affecting AppSec as it matures, particularly in cloud-first organizations. We also discuss the fuzzy line between "cloud-native" AppSec and everything else that refuses to disappear, particularly for organizations that weren't born cloud-native and still have legacy workloads to worry about. Integrating security into the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC) trends, best of breed vs platform, and other aspects of AppSec get discussed as well! This week, in the Application Security News, we spend a lot of time on some recent vulnerabilities. We take this opportunity to talk about how to determine whether or not a vulnerability is worth a critical response. Can AI fully automate DevSecOps Governance? Adrian has his reservations, but JLK is bullish. Is it bad that 70% of DevSecOps professionals don't know if code is AI generated or not? All that and more on this week's news segment.

La visión de nuestra galaxia ha cambiado radicalmente desde que en 1995 se descubrió el primer planeta orbitando alrededor de una estrella distinta al Sol. Desde entonces, el número de exoplanetas descubiertos crece a tal ritmo que la posibilidad de encontrar alguno semejante a la Tierra, y con alguna forma de vida, ha dejado de ser una idea descabellada. ¿Por dónde empezar la búsqueda? Parece lógico pensar que debería comenzar por las estrellas situadas más cerca del Sol. En 2016, se descubrió un planeta del tamaño de la Tierra, situado en la zona habitable, alrededor de Próxima Centauri, la estrella más cercana a nosotros. Ahora le toca el turno a la siguiente: la estrella de Barnard, situada a tan solo 6 años luz del Sol. Un artículo publicado en Astronomy & Astrophysics, cuyo primer autor es Jonay I. González Hernández, investigador del IAC, revela la existencia de un exoplaneta con un tamaño tres veces superior al de Marte alrededor de la estrella de Barnard, además de la posible presencia de otros tres candidatos más.

Paul Delory (@pacdelory, Research VP @Gartner_Inc for Technical Professionals) shares insights about cloud computing, cloud costs, VMware, Platform engineering and IaC.SHOW: 853CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwNEW TO CLOUD? CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCAST: "CLOUDCAST BASICS" SHOW NOTES:On The CUBE discussing VMware in April: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wIClYI6bDQSoftware Development Times discussion Platform Engineering: https://sdtimes.com/softwaredev/analyst-view-whats-new-whats-now-and-whats-next-in-platform-engineering/Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Before we jump into a broad set of topics today, give us a little bit about your background and what you focus on today.Topic 2 - The hyperscalers have grown quite large over the last decade, but as we came out of COVID, many of their customers were concerned about the cost of cloud. Are we seeing a new rationalization coming around cloud costs and accountability of costs? Topic 3 - We've all read the headlines regarding changes to VMware by Broadcom. Alternatives to VMware would be big decisions for many companies. As a neutral independent, how are you framing your thinking about the VMware ecosystem and the decisions being made about the future of virtualization? Topic 4 - Over the last decade, we've seen so many new technologies. To get value from them, they require more cross-functional collaboration. These days we tend to call that Platform Engineering. How well do you see the evolution of people and processes being adopted, and how much more needs to happen?Topic 5 - Behind the scenes of every transition over the past decade (Cloud, AI, Cloud-native) is the adoption of automation. This seems like a no-brainer, but actual adoption is lumpy across companies. What are some of the hard parts of automation that aren't discussed enough? FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod

Ross shares a talk he gave at SkeptiCamp LA 2024 looking at how practitioners of non-science wall themselves off from criticism. With examples from our prior investigations, Ross examines why an individual or organization might ignore its critics, fight back, vaguebook, flood the zone, cut ties, wall off itself and its members, or elect to positively engage. Plus, some very important and salient information about the communal behaviors of naked mole rats.We have social media: X! Facebook! You can add our RSS feed here.See Ross's talk on YouTube.
