What needs to improve? Join us as we deep dive with Adobe and the CNCF about how easy (or not) it is to run different types of data workloads on Kubernetes – and what is being done both inside and outside of Kubernetes to make data workloads easier. Xing Yang is a Tech Lead in the Cloud Native Storage team at VMware. She is a co-chair of the CNCF TAG Storage, a co-chair of the Kubernetes SIG Storage, a co-chair of the Kubernetes Data Protection WG, and a maintainer in Kubernetes CSI. Before joining VMware, Xing was the Lead Architect of OpenSDS while working for Futurewei. She also worked at Dell EMC for many years and has developed deep expertise in storage, data protection, disaster recovery, cloud, and virtualization technologies. I find myself working at the intersection of OpenSource, Cloud Native software, SRE, and DevOps. My goal is to help bring a pragmatic opinion and shepherd organizations to stay focused on delivering value to their internal and external customers
https://go.dok.community/slack https://dok.community/ From the DoK Day EU 2022 (https://youtu.be/Xi-h4XNd5tE) We know from the first Data on Kubernetes Report that 90% of respondents believe Kubernetes is ready for stateful workloads, but significant challenges remain. The DoK Community continues to grow and build a unique space where people share knowledge and have conversations that are shaping the next decade of data on Kubernetes. Melissa Logan and Sylvain Kalache will discuss the growth of DoK, DoKC, and introduce a new project to help end users on their journey to running data-intensive workloads on Kubernetes more easily and with better control.

On this episode Abadesi talks to Sylvain Kalache, co-founder of Holberton School, a project-based alternative to college where you can become a software engineer in two years. They have campuses in the United States and Colombia. Sylvain formerly worked at Slideshare and LinkedIn.In this episode they talk about...The story of founding Holberton and why a new type of school is needed“Some companies are tech and the ones who are not, are either becoming a tech company or they are going to die. Even a non-tech company, like healthcare, retail, media, transportation, you name it, they all need software engineers.”Sylvain talks about how they came up with the idea for Holberton and the experiences he had that convinced him of the need for the school. He explains how he and his co-founder decided to set out to fix those issues with Holberton. He says that many people he interviewed when he was working as an engineer had spent a ton of money on an education but didn’t have the right skills for the job they were applying for.How they designed their software engineering curriculum“It’s really hard in the first place to find a good software engineer, so it’s exceptionally hard to find a good software engineer who’s also a good teacher.”He talks about the hectic first year of working on the school and what it was like getting everything ready for the first cohort of students in January 2016. They needed to create a curriculum for their school and says that they relied on the community to help them figure out what to include in their education. He also points out that the world of software engineering moves at a really fast pace, so it’s important to have a curriculum that can be flexible and always up-to-date.How to find motivated and passionate people“Most of the people I would interview were right out of college and spent a fortune or took out huge student loans to take this training. They were not prepared to take on the job. They knew things, but not the type of skills that we would need from these people.”Sylvain talks about how to find motivated people in general, which is useful for both admissions at Holberton — when it comes to figuring out who to accept or not, as well as hiring at Holberton — because in the early days of the company it is difficult to match the perks that huge companies offer, so you have to find people who believe in the product or vision and have a lot of motivation and passion. He says that looking at someone’s side projects, blog, and GitHub can give you a good indication of how self-motivated they are.How they are working to increase representation in the tech industry“We gave a lot, as much as we could, not expecting something in return. The power of community is something that we find in Holberton in the learning methodology itself, where students are pushed to work in groups and where helping is not cheating, but helping is collaboration.”He says that admissions at Holberton are completely blind and that the system for admissions that they’ve developed is automated. He says that there is talent everywhere, but that a lot of that talent is missing the education, which is where Holberton comes in. He says that their program is comprised of half people of color and nearly half of their students are women. He says that they baked in inclusiveness into their philosophy and operations from the very first days of the company.We’ll be back next week so be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Breaker, Overcast, or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Sylvain is the Co-Founder of Holberton School, a community driven school offering a two-year program to become a Full Stack Software Engineer using project based and peer learning methodologies. Holberton graduates earn more than similar CS grads from Stanford and MIT, but unlike these colleges, Holberton has no professors or teachers.
Austen Allred is the cofounder and CEO of the Lambda School, a coding academy that provides free training for students to become software engineers and data scientists in exchange for a percentage of their income for two years. It's a model that has moved people from low income to high income salaries. Austen talks through the school's pedagogy, shares what students need to succeed in the program, and explains why one of the most valuable aspects of the school is the community.

Where can someone learn how to become a software engineer? Computer science programs at universities usually focus more on theory than on what's actually required to become an employable programmer—and then there's the matter of cost. The Holberton School offers an alternative: a two-year training program for software engineers where there are no formal teachers or lectures, favoring project-based learning instead. It's learning by doing, and it's one of a new breed of schools reinventing education.
