Covid-19 rules the world, so it determines the subjects for our podcast. Just like others, we moved from studio recording to home recording. Basically working from home (WFH).
Covid-19 Trilogy-part I - How Office Automation set the prerequisites for WFHChaos engineering. . .
Chaos Engineering - every incident is a missed experimentLike the Romans already said: Mens sana in corpore sano. A healthy mind in a healthy body. One sentence in an article from one of our colleagues triggered us: "Prepare for the unknown and unknowable".
Crossfit - fit for life and fit for purposeWe take a sneak peek into the Utrecht JAVA User Group (JUG) Meetup next week, February 24th. Topics will be: are End-to-End test architectures a Dead End road? And there will be some live hacking: Breaking into your Java web app. This will really give a feel for the importance of security.
Utrecht JUG - Test Architectures & Hacking into Java web appsWith only a few weeks to go to our peak season, we wanted to ensure that the chat app on our webshop was performing up to par. An important part of our customers' questions is answered via this chat app. You can feel the importance of it to be able to handle a load of questions during our peak season.
Performance testing the chat appThis episode has 2 subjects: PostgreSQL migration and performance. The two guests of our show will present during the PostgreSQL User group meetup at bol. com which started shortly after this recording.
PostgreSQL - Migration and PerformanceThe two guests of our show work in our experimentation team. They set a target at the beginning of 2019: Our goal is to help hundreds of people at bol. com to run experiments (more effectively).
Experimentation - it starts with courage and curiosityIt was briefly mentioned in our episode on Advent of Code. We also started an internal Coding Championship. Spaces Championship.
The Spaces Championship - our code competitionIn this episode, we talk to Marieke and Tadeusz since we were intrigued by the title of their meetup presentation: Everybody is a UX Researcher. Since we didn't consider ourselves a UX Researcher before we wanted to know more about the subject. And we wanted to find out if being a UX Researcher could also improve our daily professional lives.
