To Be Continuous - Ep. #17

I have been an admirer of Jung's discoveries and the insights I've seen from those who built on his work for a couple of years now. I hope this music helps you think. Find your pattern. You're not crazy.

The bass was fun to deal with on this track, as were the vocal samples. I purposely found some video from 1955 to cut from lol. I hope there isn't any conceivable copyright issues with this, as I'm making no income from it. This is simply to be enjoyed. Much love to all of you who encounter and choose to stay with and enjoy this track to the end. It was made for <<YOU>>.

GitLab exemplifies, in many ways, what is possible in the open source world. Created from scratch with the goal of solving a problem — in this case, how to offer developers a collaborative software platform; GitLab exemplifies the mind and spirit of the open source community.

But in the fast-changing world of software development and as tech giants Google, Amazon and Microsoft seek to redefine how software is made and distributed with unparalleled capital resources, open source enterprises face many challenges and threats — some of which border on the existential for many projects.

During this first podcast episode in the relaunched The New Stack @ Scale series, hosted by Alex Williams, founder and editor-in-chief of The New Stack and recorded during the Open Source Leadership Summit; Sid Sijbrandij, co-founder and CEO, of GitLab, discussed the state of development open source development today. He also discussed emerging threats, such as those posed by the hypercloud model and what many say is the menace of what Sijbrandij describes as Amazon AWS’s “fork and commoditize” strategy.

The choice of cloud native development tools and platform options have grown exponentially during the past couple of years. But with such a wide range of choices comes uncertainty, and sadly, confusion in many cases when deciding which option represents the best fit for software production pipelines.

Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and vice president of developer relations at the  Linux Foundation,  recently described the state of affairs in the cloud native landscape where there are “at least 20 to 30 tools out there, and it’s constantly growing, with a mix of startups and cloud providers,  as “an opportune time amongst vendors and users to bring sanity to this space.”

Much of this much-needed “sanity” involves the availability of common standards for continuous delivery (CD). To this end, the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) was created to foster collaboration for deployments using Jenkins, Jenkins X, Spinnaker and Tekton.

During this podcast episode of The New Stack @ Scale series, Alex Williams, founder and editor-in-chief of The New Stack, discussed CDF’s mission and what the development community can expect.

The podcast discussions recorded at the Open Source Leadership Summit also covered hopes, as well as concerns, about what such a foundation might represent. Other speakers, in addition to Aniszczyk, included:

Matt Klein, a software engineer at Lyft and creator of the Envoy Proxy;
Kit Merker, vice president of business development, at JFrog;
Dan Lorenc, a software engineer on Google’s Cloud Platform;
Kim (Vogt) Lewandowski, a Google product manager.
