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 Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Jono Bacon about building communities, the value of community when suddenly working remotely and remote collaboration. 

Why listen to this podcast:

•	In the suddenly remote environment caused by COVID-19, community becomes even more important than when teams were mainly collocated
•	Every business has got an internal community to a degree, often somewhat accidental in nature, but when you become remote you need to lean on that sense of connectedness with your colleagues a lot more 
•	One of the things that unifies communities more than anything else is a sense of purpose
•	There are three types of communities in the world - consumer, champion and collaborator
•	When working remotely it’s very important to be intentional about maintaining the relationships with your colleagues
