We also talk about Ashley's own developer-focused podcast (The DevTools Podcast with Ashley Roach), and the perils of parenting in the digital age. Enjoy!

Should you be containerizing your monolithic applications? If so, which ones, and how? Where do you get started with an IT modernization initiative? Who should lead it?
