Technical debt isn't a dev problem; it's killing business innovation. Good news: Teams managing debt actively see improvements in 3-6 months. Read the full analysis: caparra.ai/blog/the-hidde…

Most organizations have no idea what this is costing them. Our analysis reveals: ✅ Real case studies with metrics ✅ How to measure your debt cost ✅ Strategies that recover 25% of lost time

🔎 So @caparraai did a deep dive, and the hidden costs of tech debt are stunning: 💸 $300 billion lost globally each year ⏰ 41% of developer time on bugs vs. innovation 📊 50% of developers likely to quit over tech debt 💰 20-40% of budgets diverted from new features

If you've worked with software devs, you've heard about "technical debt." It's the friction that makes launching new software features take so long. Sometimes it sounds like excuse-making, or "this is why we can't have nice things" negativity. #TechnicalDebt #DevOps

Today we remember the 81st anniversary of D-Day. May we never forget the bravery and heroism displayed on Normandy’s beaches on June 6, 1944. #VFWSalute #DDay defense.gov/Multimedia/Exp…

Today we remember World War II Medal of Honor recipient 1st Lt. Jimmie W. Monteith Jr. During the Omaha landings, Monteith rallied his men in the face of withering fire and led them in a daring assault across the open beach. He then personally guided tanks through minefields to reduce enemy strong points. Despite fierce counterattacks, he inspired his men to capture critical high ground and unhinge the enemy defenses. Monteith was killed in the fighting and received a posthumous Medal of Honor for his courage and leadership. He is buried at Normandy American Cemetery, plot I, row 20, grave 12.

Armed with a pistol and a cane, Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. landed with the first wave at Utah Beach on D-Day. This is the epic story of the first General to land on D-Day, who was also the son of a U.S. President. 🧵

This blog post walks through exactly how to set up your first CI workflow in GitHub. Follow the steps, and your team will have a powerful new tool to improve both the speed and the quality of code. Check it out, and have a great weekend! 😎

One of the big buzzwords in DevOps is Continuous Integration (CI), which is the idea that when a team member adds new code, you should have automation set up to function as a bouncer: only new code that meets your team's standards is allowed into the club.

Have you been meaning to get into Continuous Development, especially with a tool like GitHub Actions? Check out this Deep Dive, with step-by-step instructions for helping your team: 🚀 Ship Code Faster 👍 Improve Code Quality
