Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Rob: I make people feel comfortable.Ranching today on the central Oregon land his grandfather homesteaded more than 100 years ago, Rob Rastovich also works as the Chief Technology Officer for IoT company ThingLogix, based in Silicon Valley. Sustainability has become the common thread between these two worlds.Within broader discussions of sustainability, water has become a focus for Rob both in Oregon and in Silicon Valley.the U.S. Geological Survey or USGS is a client of ThingLogix. The work focuses on water.“I don't care whether you're a rancher or whether you're a golfer or whether you're a recreational enthusiast, or whether you just want to live in a house and turn on the tap,” Rob says. “Everybody needs water.”Using ThingLogix technology, Rob says the USGS is monitoring the volume of water flowing through drought-prone western waterways to better predict and manage water. “Their interest in it is not just for irrigation and farmers and all those other things—for flood prevention and whatnot—but also for wildlife,” he says. “If you can't measure it, you can't management can't manage it.”One of the products Rob has helped develop is a “fertigation” system, “a combination irrigation and fertilizing system.” He describes it:There is a sensor that goes in the soil, and that sensor reads the data coming out of the soil and tells the irrigation system, you know, how much moisture it needs and what nutrients it needs. Does it need phosphorus? Does it need nitrogen? What does it need? So it sends a message back to the pump. The pump turns on, the valve opens, sends that plant exactly what it needs. No more, no less.In all his work, Rob leverages his superpower, making people feel comfortable.Enjoy every episode!How to Develop Making People Feel Comfortable As a Superpower“You can’t get more down-to-earth than [ranchers and farmers],” Rob says. That underpins his well-honed ability to help people feel comfortable around him.Rob says, “A lot of technology guys, they like to come in, and they start throwing, ‘We're going to do DNSs and SQL statements, and we're going to do MQTT over HTTP, and we're going to do..."In contrast, Rob has another approach. “ I like to talk about the solution; I think that's the rancher in me. It's like it has to be a practical solution that is is is viable, is affordable, and, and we know how to do it.”Rob highlights three things that contribute to helping people feel comfortable. “You listen first,” he says. There is magic in simply listening to people.Hard work is the second key. “There's a work ethic that comes with when you're on a ranch. I always, always tell them, tell anybody. I mean, you'll be smarter than me, you'll be faster than me, you'll maybe live longer, but you won't outwork me. That's that'll be one thing that I will be on top of.”The third key is the old axiom “keep it simple, stupid.” He says, “The more complicated you seem to make something, somehow there's this perception that it must be more valuable. But the reality is, the more simple it is, the more artful it is.”“It's got to be simple enough that everybody can understand it. I always tell my guys, when I hire kids, I go, “If you start getting too complex where you have to have these complicated…, you're doing it wrong. The more complex it is. The less scalable it is. The less understandable it is. The less sustainable it is.”By following Rob’s example and advice, you can develop your ability to make other people comfortable into a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.

In this week's show, Phil talks to Rob Rastovich, the Chief Technical Officer at ThingLogix, a provider of Internet of Things solutions, solution components and advisory services. He has been actively involved in technology for nearly 30 years including what is now known as Amazon's AWS IoT. As CTO of ThingLogix he is the chief architect behind the company's ground-breaking IoT platform that eliminates the need for code. Rob talks about the importance of continual learning and how it can advance our IT career paths. He also discusses why we must never feel boxed in by the career we choose, and why it's okay to follow our passions into other fields.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:   TOP CAREER TIP We must always be learning. The IT industry is never static, and so we must endeavour to keep abreast of what's new, and master the skills and tools that push us forward.   WORST CAREER MOMENT While working on a job, Rob accidentally deleted some invaluable information on a server. It taught him to always make sure that he is aware of the consequences of every command entered.   CAREER HIGHLIGHT The Amazon acquisition was a particular highlight. The early development of these systems were a period of experimentation and discovery, and provided much insight and motivation.   THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T The disappearing of laptops, computers and browsers, and the advancements that will replace them. The internet will become less of a service that we plug into, and something that becomes more ubiquitous – more device agnostic.   THE REVEAL What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? – After his first successful attempts at coding, Rob was hooked. What's the best career advice you received? – To go all in on ideas, and never live with any regrets. What's the worst career advice you received? – That Rob would be paid when the company went IPO. What would you do if you started your career now? –To have focused more time looking at the possibilities of cloud computing. What are your current career objectives? – Rob is focusing on stepping back from the cutting edge of innovation, and spending more time in guiding the next generation of thinkers and dreamers. What's your number one non-technical skill? – Ranching has taught Rob the value of balance. How do you keep your own career energized? – Rob is always researching and looking for the next big thing. What do you do away from technology? – Rob spends his time on his ranch, and enjoys outdoor pursuits.   FINAL CAREER TIP Rid yourself of the idea that your career path is permanent. Remain fluid, and if you find diversions that thrill you more than the path you're already on, follow your heart and diversify.   BEST MOMENTS  (6:37) – Rob - “The ability to discern and learn and absorb quickly has been the cornerstone for me” (6:50) – Rob - “That's a skill that you learn – how to learn” (15:09) – Rob – “Being on the cutting edge is fun and exciting, but it's not as profitable as being right behind that” (18:55) – Rob – “Shoot for the stars, and if you miss you'll end up on the moon”   ABOUT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS  Phil Burgess is an independent IT consultant who has spent the last 20 years helping organizations to design, develop, and implement software solutions.  Phil has always had an interest in helping others to develop and advance their careers.  And in 2017 Phil started the I.T. Career Energizer podcast to try to help as many people as possible to learn from the career advice and experiences of those that have been, and still are, on that same career journey.   CONTACT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS Phil can be contacted through the following Social Media platforms: Twitter: https://twitter.com/_PhilBurgess LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/philburgess Instagram: https://instagram.com/_philburgess Website: https://itcareerenergizer.com/contact Phil is also reachable by email at phil@itcareerenergizer.com and via the podcast's website, https://itcareerenergizer.com Join the I.T.

I'll give an hour with anybody to go over about your IoT solution. We've just recently announced, the open sourcing of our platform. We can give you some free training around that. Probably the biggest one right now, is our SMS management and SMS communications. I would be happy to get that installed and show you the advantages. If you are interested in seeing how SMS can change how you manage your customers and your customer relationship. I am happy to get you installed with that and get you started on that for free for a few days as well. Rob's Advice I'm not one to, wax poetically. But I would say probably the most important thing that that I do every day is just be grateful and be thankful for what we've got. I would say start each day like that. You'll see great changes in your life, whether it's technology or farming.

Leveraging TMMi to focus DevOps test process improvements Re-Read Saturday News  This week we focus on Chapter 3 of  Monotasking by Staffan Nöteberg.  The chapter this week is titled, Focus on One Task Now.  An update on the continued experiment using Monotasking. In Chapter 2, Staffan describes how to create a short list of five items and then to push everything else to the “grass catcher” list. I have been working on using this approach this week with a special focus on capturing the date an item was added to the list and the stakeholder for the item. In the past, I trimmed my list on a quarterly basis. I use the dramatic approach of starting a new list saving only those items on my short list. This week I tried Staffan's weekly approach, trimming off a few older items on a weekly basis. The date added is useful but what I found more useful was asking myself the question, “am I really going to do this or is this an aspirational item?” Cue the chainsaw; even though I started a new list on July 1st I was able to remove several items from my new grass catcher list.

Despite the unpredictable outcome, jumping the queue is practiced by many in traffic and even more when funneling work to teams. The consequences when working on information technology products are far more predictable than driving, and they are ALWAYS bad. We will also have a visit from Susan Parente, who brings her I Am Not A Scrumdamentalist column to the cast.  We discuss risk management when using hybrid agile approaches.

In this episode, we feature our interview with Christiano Gherardini. Chris and I talk about the impact of using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) packages on businesses and as importantly, the impact of packages and consultants as a tool to influence the direction of software development in a firm.  Christiano Gherardini is the President/Owner at Turnkey Technologies Inc.

Leveraging TMMi to focus DevOps test process improvements Re-Read Saturday News  Finally, we have reached Chapter 2 of Monotasking by Staffan Nöteberg, titled, Cut Down On Tasks To Do.  I think it is ironic that a failure in my ability to control WIP in my personal life led to a two-week delay in delivering the re-read of this chapter. All the hand wringing aside, the delay has allowed me to reflect more on the chapter and to hone my use of the short list and panorama cues and sessions. Long swaths of meetings still give me trouble but getting the short list down to tasks that I missed in my first read of Chapter 2 has made a ton (imperial or metric) of difference.   This Week Week 4 - Cut Down on Things to Do - https://bit.ly/3wt1ENL    Previous Monotasking by Staffan Nöteberg Entries Week 1 - Logistics, Game Plan, and Preface - https://bit.ly/3x1oVap  Week 2 - Introduction - https://bit.ly/2TXVfwt  Week 3 - Monotasking In A Nutshell - https://bit.ly/3gGMb72    Next SPaMCAST In the Software Process and Measurement Cast, I speak with Rob Rastovich, CTO of ThingLogix.
