Episode 181: There wasn’t a sign that said I was in a drum circle zone

You can now pay open source developers directly, well, those in the closed beta. Seems like a good idea, really. Also, the Commonwealth and Friends club doesn’t like Huawei, and thought lords can be bores.
Hey! Want to get Coté’s book, a collection of writing on DevOps, agile, and THE DIGITAL? Go to leanpub.com/digitalwtf and use the code SDT to get $20 off (https://leanpub.com/digitalwtf/c/sdt) Digital WTF (https://leanpub.com/digitalwtf/c/sdt), so $5 total. And, if you want a free copy, contact Coté and tell him you’ll help market it (advertise it, put it in Twitter, by post to your uncle, whatever!) and he’ll send you a code for a free copy.
Also:
What kind of hippy were you, Coté?
Any whistles?
Low-tech rave.
3 slides in Guam.
Thought-acting.
New hire announcements need to be auto-deleted.
Not for you.
I can assure you conference organizers… I am not polished.
YAML for good.
No YAML for payment.
It’s going to be more than $10,000 for LDAP.
Can’t tell if I like American Gods, but I keep reading/watching it.
German crossbow guys, aka, c (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48257713)rossbow bolt cult in Germany (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48257713).
A crossbow only does d4 of damage.
Every time I log into Skype there's an upgrade.
British people totally into yelling at their kids.
