DevOps Enterprise Summit (DOES) 2021 I had the high privilege of attending the DevOps Enterprise Summit (DOES) 2021 virtually this year with John and Dakota at Omnitech (it was great to have them to bounce ideas off, attempt to summarize and help me remember what track I was going to and when). I’ve followed Gene Kim for years, read most of his books and promoted them and I’ve also recently read Project to Product by Dr.

A week of Omnitech and life in the Black Hills
May 13, 2021 - https://www.aligneddev.netA week of Omnitech and life in the Black Hills Omnitech opened a Rapid City, SD office in July, 2019 with Elevate Rapid City on the SD School of Mines & Technology campus.

It was great to spend time with some co-workers I don’t see much, even if we were working on different projects.

I’ll admit, I was skeptical of how smart bulbs could be life changing, and it took a few years until I would get there. But this isn’t that story, this is about how I converted my plain ol' dumb fan into a Wi-Fi enabled smart fan for my OpenHab system.
Coding Guidelines
April 29, 2021 - https://www.aligneddev.netCoding Guidelines Software Systems can easily pile up technical debt (see my Clean Architecture for more thoughts on that). One of the reasons is that people rush. Another common one is not thinking about or knowing about good software practices. How do we teach this and rely the concepts? I don’t think a style guide and coding standards is enough, but I offer some principles to follow and share.
The Paradox of the Active User
April 15, 2021 - https://nhawdge.netRecently I was complaining to my boss about how difficult it is learning a new technology. He taught me about the Paradox of the Active User. Basically, the paradox states an active user will try to forego the tutorials and documentation in favor of a trial by fire. Why is it a paradox, your ask? Well the mentality of the Active User is that they are able to started and moving faster on my… their own.
