This episode is a panel discussion from the microservices track QCon Plus, held in May 2021. Track host Nicki Watt asks "What have we learned over the last decade of microservices." The panelists included Chris Richardson, James Lewis, and Katie Gamanji. The discussion started with looking at how the meaning of "microservices architecture" has evolved over the past ten years. There were some great insights about how successfully developing, deploying, and maintaining software depends as much or more on cultural and environmental factors, than simply adopting microservices and all the tools and technology that now exist.

Empathy as a Key Success Factor for High Performing Development Teams

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Alex Qin following on from her QCon London talk “Shaving My Head Made Me A Better Programmer”.

Why listen to this podcast:

- Casual discrimination and unconscious bias is rife in society, and very prevalent in tech
 - The need to have many more people in the field who don’t fit the preconceived mould of a programmer
 - The complexity of the overall system means we need to tackle discrimination at many levels in many different aspects
 - One person can make a difference
 - Call things out when you see things that are wrong – speak up, show up and shield those who can’t shield themselves
