DevOps KC: The Art of Technical Decision Making
Details
Due to scheduling issues, we’ve had to adjust this month’s intended topic.
It's February, and hopefully Spring is right around the corner. With that, let’s talk about The Art of Technical Decision Making. We'll be joined by J.D. Hillen, Software Engineer II @ Garmin, who will be discussing the different technical decisions that practitioners are bombarded with: What language should I learn? What framework should I use? What software will make my life easier? The list goes on and on. A simple decision can have rippling effects in your organization, both good and bad.

Note: There will not be a livestream, but we will record and share out afterwards on our YouTube Channel
