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.

Transcript

What Have We Learned Over the Last Decade of Microservices?

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

Show Notes

Alex Qin on Leveraging Technology to Create Positive Social Change

In this podcast, recorded at the Agile India 2019 conference, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Dave Farley about what it means to build a real profession of software engineering. 

Why listen to this podcast:

•	At the very hard end of computing you need genuine engineering disciplines to be successful
•	Most of the previous definitions of software engineering have got it wrong because they tried to be too prescriptive
•	In many ways software development is a fashion industry – we chose technologies, languages and approaches based on who if the most persuasive orator rather than empirical evidence
•	Extreme Programming and continuous delivery have the characteristics of genuine engineering disciplines because they are focused on the engineering practices that enable you to build high-quality products fast
•	Pair programming unlocks the capability of individuals and teams to learn
