Good morning everyone! Excited for day 2!! 😊

Reminder: Day 2 is starting now – opening remarks and then plenary talks! Join the conversation in #ask-the-speaker-plenary.

I'm looking at job openings right now. I would be interested in a position where I could be working to improve healthcare outcomes. I haven't been to an in person DOES before to have a big network here. If there is someone working in healthcare or knows someone here to introduce me to, could you please message me?

Kia Ora, Greetings from New Zealand. How are you doing all? Looking forward to our day-2.

👋:skin-tone-4: Hello everyone! I’m Jen, an American tech culture journalist based in London and 4yo mom. I’m popping in and out to cover another DOES for http://thenewstack.io/author/jennifer-riggins/. It’s always a great thing to ask for y’all’s help by asking what are YOUR favorite talks? What should I be writing about because was just great?!

Hi did I hear Gene Kim say something about archiving the Slack channel while the conference is ongoing?

What sessions or forums would you recommend for developing opinionated/shared pipelines across teams, or an org, for example in jenkins? Are there sessions or places to have discussions here about what has worked, challenges encountered, what to avoid, and so on?

@jpetoff hello!, thanks for Sharing your experience at the event, i saw your post is from SRE Education, can you tell us why the need that role, the benefit of having it and how they are organized, thanks!

I am fan of DOES - I will tell you my friends DOES Leaves a long lasting impact on your thinking - by favourite quote "be a person in your org who is moving the business forward" - Jeffrey snover

👋 Happy DOES

The challenge - watching the talk, watching the Q&A, watching the thread in Q&A, making notes - How others are managing?

I had an interesting conversation with one of the cloud titan organizations yesterday about the Facebook outage. The outage may be related to a networking automation system they had created a few years back that allows them to make massive BGP changes sort of like software deploys. Possibly due to COVID-induced route changes they might have hit an edge case between BGP, Automation, and unusual internal routes. I'm trying to track down the paper they introduced a few years ago to see if the story fits. One of the possible meta topics around this might be how we always need guard rails around scaled automation. Complex systems will create complex conditions and the best we can do is work with probabilities.

@alex @annp which talks will NOT be available in the library this time? Super important to catch those live!!

Has anyone here been looking at OpenAI/GPT-3 stuff? It's scary but fascinating. It's also a tangled story. From my understanding, GitHu's Copilot is based on it. But it is can do a lot more than just generate code.

Reminder: Just a reminder we have some fun games to play. And maybe you’ll win some prizes! Get more info at https://doesvirtual.com/games or in #games https://devopsenterprise.slack.com/files/UATE4LJ94/F01CKEA9PAQ/book-children-fiction-toys-games-board-games-1082790-pxhere.com.jpg

Reminder: Don’t miss out on today’s networking time – a chance to connect with other attendees. We have two options starting at 2:55pm Central time: 1. Lean Coffee (#lean-coffee), sponsored by LaunchDarkly (#xpo-launchdarkly) 2. Birds of a Feather (in the Birds of a Feather room in Gather and any of the #bof-* channels), sponsored by LaunchDarkly (#xpo-launchdarkly) @suzette.johnson5 is also hosting a special Birds of a Feather session on Industrial DevOps (#bof-industrial-devops) today. https://devopsenterprise.slack.com/files/UATE4LJ94/F01CKG3EZ7W/image.png

Are there any conversations happening that discuss the relation between staffing and transformation of team structures? As a specific example, say you have 3 network engineers and your company decides they need 4 product teams. I'm interested how others have successfully handled situations like these. My guess is that this is being discussed somewhere and I just can't find it 🙂

Tip: The slack channel split view is great way to see two things at once 🙂 (There are so many things going on)

Reminder: The breakout sessions are starting in 5 minutes. Get in front of your browser and start navigating your way to whichever session you’re attending. https://devopsenterprise.slack.com/files/UATE4LJ94/F01D34MC2KS/image.png

totally random question - I'm using Slack in a browser - most (nearly all) of the images posted in the various threads are super blurry...is that a bug or a feature?

is the DevOps Handbook AMA happening? I'm just getting this

Love "The DevOps Handbook" Authors AMA - Great questions and great answers cc @jez @genek @jwillis @nicolefv. Entertaining and very insightful every author sharing their favourite case studies.

@jez - Nothing is more waterfall than writing the book 😂 (Answer to whether authors applied DevOps principles writing the book)

@jonathansmart1 thanks for the much more empathetic term "pressurized middle"!
