What if, instead of paying for business software with a huge investment in hopes for a return, you could pay for it when you started to realize the benefits?

I was recently asked to speak with TK Kader about SaaS, Custom Software and the journey to build a business. I certainly didn’t have all the answers, but I really enjoyed the conversation and hopefully shared some helpful insights.

It's been too long since I published an article. After 35 years in this industry, I learned a few things about sustainable software and what it requires, so I thought I'd share: https://t.co/MiDmJtXBz0

[Ken Auer @kauerrolemodel]

A good intro to why DevOps is critical. I'm considering a follow-up that discusses why TDD is important to exploit DevOps...

[RoleModel Software @rolemodelsoft]
