Speaker in the video here. I recently gave this talk at Cloud Foundry Summit, and it's a very condensed version of a 45 minute talk that was less light with the research. The full notes detailing the sources I drew stuff from are at h

Disclaimer - I co-founded a Cloud Foundry consultancy. There are numerous folks running open source Cloud Foundry in production. Most I can't name for confidentiality reasons, but the Comic Relief payments system runs on open source CF

Is there any evidence for the provenance of this list?

I'd love to know the point of this article, but can't bear to wade through the waffle. Is this a print article reproduced online?

It's a tiny little utility, but handy for when you're switching between Go projects in your $GOPATH and other projects in ~/workspace, or for when you can't remember who made a Go project or what website they hosted it o

I'd rather candidates had empathy, a willingness to learn, and an appreciation of testing & CI, than the ability to implement a linked list in under 10 minutes. In over a decade of software development including web systems, games

You should consider getting in touch with the folks at Pivotal ( http://pivotal.io/locations/london ). They have a very progressive working practice, and are keen to attract diverse staff. They're based in Old Stree

Thanks for the TL;DR. I find these magazine-style articles that start with waffle instead of the conclusion very frustrating!

Agreed on both points. I find it interesting that the properties of Bosh are clear strengths when present in other systems; if what Bosh does is so intrinsically good, why didn't it take over the world? Because it's a PITA to use

Ha - if it was in 2014, I was probably in the office! I don't think it's hit version 1.0 yet, which would explain its rough edges. I find it interesting that it shares a lot of philosophies with Bosh.

You haven't seen that many publicly funded technology projects, I take it? I have as it happens. Ex-colleagues happen to be working on some, which is rather entertaining as some of those involved are particular left-leaning! Governme

(Disclosure: I worked at Pivotal for a bit, as well as a consultancy supplying services to Her Maj's Government) Yeah, and that's a good call in my book. Concourse + Bosh makes open source CF manageable. I've heard stories of

"Nage" is technique, and the person who applies a technique against an attacker is "tori". If the author can't get this right, I would suspect their understanding of the martial art is somewhat shallow.
