Hey! I’m trying something new: I’ve recorded a limited podcast series where I talk with people about software practices and ask: “Do we need it?”

“Turns out…it is a good podcast!” - Caleb Porzio

This week I am joined by Justin Duke to talk about staging servers:

  • Can we actually make a comparable environment to production?

  • What can go wrong (accidental emails, corrupting data)?

  • Why staging servers are tough to justify when you are very small and very big

  • Is software advice stuck in 2010?

  • The dark side of beginner friendly programming content

  • When are intentional roadblocks sometimes good?

  • Staging servers as a deferred blame mechanism

Listen here 🎧 Staging servers w/ Justin Duke


Stay boring!
