In this podcast Michael Stiefel spoke with Randy Shoup about how to build resilient systems. We discuss why it is a serious mistake to fail to acknowledge that software’s interaction with itself and the real world produces fragility. Therefore, software systems must be built to be resilient to that fragility.
We also discuss where to use workflows, orchestration or choreography, the role of architecture in building good teams, and the wisdom of letting each team use their own set of tools.

Weekly Podcast discussing the Egyptian IT industry, and various other technology related topics 
راديو عربي على الانترنت من المبرمجين المصريين للمبرمجين, باللغة العربية و باللهجة المصرية

Software engineers, architects and team leads have found inspiration to drive change and innovation in their team by listening to the weekly InfoQ Podcast. They have received essential information that helped them validate their software development map. We have achieved that by interviewing some of the top CTOs, engineers and technology directors from companies like Uber, Netflix and more. Over 1,200,000 downloads in the last 3 years.

O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators. At O’Reilly, a big part of our business is paying attention to what’s new and interesting in the world of technology. We have a pretty good record at having anticipated some of the big technology developments in recent history. For instance, we launched the first commercial Web site, GNN, in 1993; we organized the meeting at which the term “open source” was first adopted; we were early investors in Blogger, which helped launch the blogging revolution; and more recently, our Web 2.0 conference launched a world-wide meme. We call this predictive sense the “O’Reilly Radar.” And while we’re certainly not always right, we are, at least, good at making interesting guesses.

Our methodology is simple: we draw from the wisdom of the alpha geeks in our midst, paying attention to what’s interesting to them, amplifying these weak signals, and seeing where they fit into the innovation ecology. Add to that the original research conducted by our Research team, and you start to get a good picture of what the technology world is thinking about.
