Once again, I’m off to a conference next week. This time it is DevOps Days Minneapolis. I haven’t been to a DevOps Days event, though I always enjoy DevOps events because the attendees and speakers are very passionate about building better software faster. Some of them have great stories and experiences (and successes), while many also struggle with the same restrictions, priorities, and lack of attention to quality that most of us do.

In any case, this is a fairly small event, but I like Minneapolis and I’m looking forward to the trip.

If you’re coming to the event, say hi. If you can’t, there are lots of other DevOps days events coming up.

I’m headed back to Wisconsin Dells next week for THAT! Conference 2024. This is my second time in Wisconsin and third THAT overall. This time I didn’t submit, but Redgate is sponsoring the event and they asked me to deliver a session. I’ll be talking about Best Practices for Seamless Database Deployments on Tuesday morning, but there are a bunch of other good sessions taking place on Tue-Thur.

Each time I’ve gone, it’s been an enjoyable experience, learning about various developer and database technologies from others. It’s a fun family atmosphere and I recommend this conference as one to consider if you want to learn about any development topics.

Last year I learned about Rust and hummus in one talk, about containerized builds, and TDD. I also learned about Mind Over Milkshakes, which inspired that piece.

If you’re near Madison, this is a short drive. It’s worth checking out THAT and trying the conference if you want a family friendly developer event.
