Support your SRE with Suhaib Naseem
03/03/20 • 35 min
In this episode I'm chatting to Suhaib Naseem, a Site Reliability Engineer for Bloomberg PolarLake here in Dublin.
Suhaib comes from a background in Object Oriented Programming and as such has a good prespective on the relationship and collaboration needed between software developers and SRE's.
In this episode we chat about what exactly is an SRE. How does their job depend on the software developer? The joys of monolith releases, why testing is so important, why you should be involved in outage retrospectives and how should the SRE work coincide with the product development work.
And Suhaib gives us a nice book recommendation for anyone wondering about the SRE world.

Forget the Comments with Raul Portales
Happy New Year.
In this episode I'm chatting to Raul Portales, a Senior Android Engineer in Workday, here in Dublin.
Raul and I talk about commit messaging how to make it usable. We talk about the use of comments and why you should be trying not to use them!! We discuss working with the product team and how ultimately they are nice people who would look for honesty from engineers. And we talk about the value of saying No!!
We also have a discussion around whether software developers should be writing QA Automation code or not.
Raul also kindly gives us two books recommendations, one which is as old as him!
The Mythical Man Month by Frederick Brooks and Reality is Broken by Jane McGonigal.

Will McGreal wants Honesty
Hey Everyone, in this episode I'm talking to Will McGreal, a technical recruitment team lead with Morgan McKinley, who specialises in the recruitment of senior technical appointments.
Will and I talk about the differing aspects of the relationship that recruiters have with Software Engineers, from the person who is a candidate for a role, to the engineer who is the interviewer. This brings up some interesting scope on how professionalism is understood from a recruiters point of view, and how the software engineer takes two different perspectives for a recruiter.
We talk about honesty on both sides of the table, whether being too flexible is a drawback, putting candidates at ease, how not to arrive for an interview, and how the importance of the technical interview is waning.
Will also gives us our most laid back book recommendation yet in Tyson Fury: Behind The Mask. A book that really opens up our thoughts about mental health.
As always, I hope you enjoy the show and if so, do please subscribe.
