Hello fellow HN readers. I'm starting a podcast on building, deploying, and running software. The intended audience is people like you all who read HN and care about improving the build-deploy-run lifecycle. Topics are mix of straight up software engineering, infrastructure automation, configuration management, continuous delivery/deployment, and product development.<p>I've started collecting ideas in the [issue tracker](https://gitlab.com/slashdeploy/podcast/issues). That should give you a feel for what ideas I have in mind initially. However I really want your opinion and perspective. I want to know what things interest you and what things what help build better systems. Here are some ways you can get involved:<p>1. Nominate people you'd like to hear from
1. Propose topics/conversations you'd like to hear
1. Propose books you'd like reviewed
1. Nominate people for some of the topics already in the issue tracker
1. Propose anything else you think of! :)<p>Don't hesitate to create new issues with your ideas. Thank you everyone :)
I've listened to a a fair number of tech podcasts over the past few years. The gold standards for me are Hanselminutes and SE-radio. But they got that way through alchemy, the early episodes are rather leaden compared to the where each is today after a <i>decade</i>.<p>On the other hand, Hanselminutes is still true (most of the time) to its core idea of not wasting the listener's time. SE-Radio is still true to its core idea of introducing and then going deep into a technical topic.<p>So what do I want in a devops podcast? A vision that the presenter believes that is sustainable over a decade and a ruthless pursuit of not wasting my time.<p>My advice is to research those podcasts - Software Engineering Daily has episodes discussing both and how they work.<p>Good luck.
