Psychological safety is something I have often talked about but have found difficult to find in my own work. There’s a lot of reasons for this. In a previous life, I couldn’t talk about my day to day work and life. As I have gotten further away from that time, It has gotten easier to adjust to being more transparent.

It was a holiday week here in the United States. On Wednesday, we celebrated our independence. It is rather fitting that the DevOps’ish newsletter blasted past 1776 subscribers this week (the year the US declared Independence). After eighty-three weeks of doing this newsletter, I would like your help in improving it. I’ve put together a quick sixteen question survey that will ultimately improve the format and content in DevOps’ish. The data from the DevOps’ish Summer 2018 Survey will be a vital measurement to guide the direction of the newsletter going forward.

Twelve hours after this newsletter was published last week, I was on a plane back to my old stomping grounds in Raleigh, North Carolina. I started at Red Hat this week on the Ansible team as Principal Product Marketing Manager. After the first week, I feel like this is the best career move I’ve ever made.
