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 Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Steve Crago about how leaders need to be coaches, being a good mentor and facilitating effective meetings

Why listen to this podcast

•	There is an expectation that leaders are able to be effective coaches for their teams today
•	There are tools such as the Leadership Circle Profile that can help you understand your own strengths and weaknesses 
•	You don’t necessarily need to work on weaknesses – often enhancing areas of strength can give better results than focusing on improving areas of weakness 
•	To effectively mentor someone in an area you need to have deep knowledge and experience working in that domain 
•	Facilitation is a skillset that is about helping others achieve their goals in a collaborative session
