Ep. 056, A Solid Foundation

Episode #056 features Josh West, founder of Foundation.io. Josh is passionate about the foundation of software development - how do we make it easy and productive and FUN to be a software developer at a given company? How do we get developers writing code quickly instead of burning weeks on ramp-up and development environment setup tasks? (hint: Kubernetes!) A company where it is hard to "get up to speed" is at a disadvantage in a hot job market for developers. Also discussed - developer conferences ranging from HOPE to Bose to KuCon, and Scotch/bourbon budget picks (are there any left?)   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers_on_Planet_Earth https://xenproject.org/ https://www.cncf.io/case-studies/bose/ https://people.brandeis.edu/~jwest/netreg/ http://foundation.io
