Click-bait aside…I am tired of seeing articles and presentations about DevSecOps only to find out that it is just standalone security procedures shoehorned into a vague development and/or operations process. DevSecOps is more than just “Sec” smushed in-between “Dev” and…
An Introduction to Continuous Software Engineering
If you have read my other articles, I hope you can sense my passion for enabling continuous software engineering practices. This should be no surprise coming from a co-host of the ContinuousX Podcast series. I believe that if a process…
Agile 2: A New Hope
I definitely have a love-hate relationship with Agile. It’s not that I’m a fan of the Waterfall methodology. Far from it. But that’s a black-or-white logical fallacy. There are more than two ways to do things. And it is hard…
Let’s Rethink and Finally Adopt Continuous Deployment
Continuous Deployment is the familial outcast that no one talks about in the CI/CD world. It’s the “Jon Snow” of the Stark family for you Game of Thrones fans. And … no spoilers … like Jon, a true hero with…
Skill Tracks II: The Wrath of Kanban

AI and You – How AI Can Benefit From DevSecOps
If you are a connoisseur of trade shows and new product innovations like me, then undoubtedly you have heard that every known product in existence has a new feature that is driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and fueled by machine…
Embracing DevSecOps AND Separation of Duties? It is Possible…
I have heard that implementing DevSecOps along with Separation of Duties (SoD) security principles is akin to running a humidifier and a dehumidifier in the same room and at the same time. Two opposing forces working tirelessly against each other…
Why Now is the Time for Continuous Testing
At DLT we have seen many examples of software development processes across many agencies, and unfortunately, most of them suffer from a lack of automated testing. As a developer at heart, I find this particularly concerning as defect-free code is…
The Infinite Game of Software Development Through DevSecOps
In his latest book “The Infinite Game,” Simon Sinek, an inspirational speaker on leadership, empathy, and optimism, defines and contrasts leadership styles and their effectiveness based on the differences between playing finite and infinite games. Briefly, a finite game is…
In DevSecOps, Continuous Learning Equals Continuous Fun
On DLT’s ContinuousX Podcast Series we finish each episode by asking the guests, “if you could choose to have anything continuously, what would it be?” But we have never asked the questions of ourselves. For me, the question seems like…
