[0.12 --> 6.12] I'm Gerhard Lassou and you're listening to ShipIt.show, a podcast about ops, infrastructure
[6.12 --> 7.68] and embracing change.
[8.20 --> 11.14] This is our ninth Kaizen with Adam and Jared.
[11.58 --> 16.46] We start today's conversation with the most important thing, embracing change.
[17.12 --> 21.10] For me, this means putting ShipIt on hold after this episode.
[21.62 --> 26.60] It also means making more time to experiment, maybe try a few of those small bets that we
[26.60 --> 28.28] recently talked about with Daniel.
[28.28 --> 31.76] Kaizen will continue, we are thinking on the changelog.
[32.22 --> 33.62] Stick around to hear the rest.
[34.20 --> 36.38] Big thanks to our partners Fastly and Fly.
[36.74 --> 41.66] This MP3 is served with minimal latency from the Fastly edge location, which is closest
[41.66 --> 42.10] to you.
[42.62 --> 47.48] Our app and database run on fly.io because it keeps things simple.
[58.28 --> 70.78] Change is constant.
[71.78 --> 78.30] And the one thing, the one lesson which really helped me was to not fight it, but embrace
[78.30 --> 78.54] it.
[78.54 --> 84.62] Some may think, oh, this sounds very agile-ish and I thought we are post-agile.
[85.18 --> 86.90] But this is one constant, right?
[86.96 --> 88.04] Change will always happen.
[88.18 --> 92.98] And if anyone has been paying attention to the world, things have changed so many times
[92.98 --> 94.26] in the last couple of years.
[94.26 --> 98.62] So that's the one thing that will always be constant change.
[99.18 --> 105.84] So with that in mind, me embracing change and change being constant, I'll be taking a break
[105.84 --> 108.52] from ShipIt after this episode.
[109.20 --> 110.42] That's a gut punch.
[110.70 --> 111.54] It is a little bit.
[111.54 --> 118.64] And that's why I want to make it sound as positive as it can be because it is.
[119.52 --> 127.16] So if you remember when we started, I was experimenting so much and trying so many things, crazy ideas
[127.16 --> 129.44] like let's use Kubernetes for changelog.
[130.22 --> 131.06] Remember that one?
[131.06 --> 131.24] I do recall.
[131.56 --> 132.04] I do.
[132.08 --> 132.36] For sure.
[132.78 --> 134.94] And then Jared came, no, let's use Fly.
[135.10 --> 136.06] And we try that as well.
[136.06 --> 142.06] So we were experimenting quite a lot before ShipIt or I was experimenting quite a lot before
[142.06 --> 142.44] ShipIt.
[142.56 --> 147.30] And then, you know, ShipIt was taking more and more of my time to the point that I was rushing
[147.30 --> 151.14] from one thing to another thing to the next episode, the next episode.
[151.80 --> 154.06] And I had less time to experiment.
[154.32 --> 156.18] So I'd like to do more of that.
[157.10 --> 160.28] More experimenting, less shipping of ShipIt.
[160.66 --> 162.18] Less shipping of ShipIt episodes.
[162.28 --> 163.40] Yes, that's right.
[163.74 --> 165.40] But definitely shipping.
[165.40 --> 168.72] So things will still continue changing on the changelog side.
[169.20 --> 171.26] The improvements will not stop.
[171.68 --> 176.00] And if anything, a couple of other areas are already picking up, like Dagger, for example,
[176.12 --> 183.02] for me, which means I need more of my headspace, more of my A game for that thing.
[183.52 --> 185.34] Embracing the change.
[185.34 --> 192.60] So the big why, if we say why in general, it's because you were stretched too thin in order
[192.60 --> 194.52] to do the experimentations that you love.
[194.84 --> 200.66] And you need some headspace, dagger, taking off, taking over.
[200.66 --> 213.98] And ShipIt being very much your passion project, a side project for you, you know, had some financial stability, but, you know, was never going to be, or at least in its current form, not going to be a full-time thing.
[213.98 --> 218.14] And something had to give because you were burning.
[218.36 --> 221.34] You're burning on both ends and we don't want you to burn out.
[221.84 --> 223.86] And so there you have it.
[223.94 --> 224.26] That's right.
[224.34 --> 226.12] I was checking myself basically.
[226.50 --> 234.28] And it's really important to know when to stop and what to stop and to know how to rearrange things.
[234.28 --> 235.34] And everything is temporary.
[235.80 --> 238.14] I think that's something that, you know, it's worth emphasizing.
[238.72 --> 240.16] Nothing will last forever.
[240.34 --> 241.04] Not even us.
[241.38 --> 241.52] Right.
[241.92 --> 244.22] But hopefully we've had some great time together.
[245.02 --> 247.68] More amazing things will come because this is not the end of it.
[247.70 --> 248.66] It's just a pause.
[248.88 --> 252.48] And we don't know how it will continue and what shape or form.
[252.90 --> 259.98] I don't think that the approach, nothing wrong with the approach, but we can improve on it some more.
[260.26 --> 261.28] Some video would be nice.
[261.28 --> 268.60] There are so many videos that we shot in the last two years since we had ShipIt, but we published very few of those.
[269.24 --> 273.64] Like working with various people, experimenting, but we never had time.
[274.42 --> 277.64] You know, I remember episode 33, very Shipmas.
[278.48 --> 281.18] We recorded with the Upbound folks.
[281.36 --> 283.84] We recorded with the Dagger folks at the time, right?
[283.86 --> 285.68] Because I wasn't part of Dagger back then.
