Episode 374: Is there no Dev in DevOps?
1:05:50
This week we discuss DevOpsDays Dallas, devs not wanting to do ops, Twitter Security issues and Apple playing the long game. Plus, some thoughts on Dr. Pepper and Burger King.

Don’t have the USB cable
Barton, can you get me a drink?
Just like a beer
This is my own podcast, I can do whatever the fuck I want!
One day, I’m going to stop being the the butt of all the jokes
Throwing a lot of Harvard shade.
If you are in France, eat at the Burger King
They came for the DevOps glory
The jury’s still out for the Dev in DevOps
The same sane things
Security, always a problem
What if there was just one company?
