Podcast 308: What are the young developers into? Everyone’s getting AWS certified.
This week we sit down with Brian Gracely, a senior director of product strategy at Red Hat Open Shift. He hosts The Cloudcast and had lots to say about Kubernetes, Heroku, Docker, and the proliferation of certifications you can earn to break into the industry.
Episode Notes
You can follow Brian on Twitter. and check out the Cloudcast here.
If you’re just getting started, he has a cloud basics podcast that covers a new topic each month.
And if you are just really, really into containers, well he’s got you covered.
Paul was talking with someone who mentors a lot of young coders. What are they all into these days? Typescript? Web Assembly? Nope, they’re all getting AWS certified.
A certification for AWS , Azure, and GCP has become an efficient way to break into the job market. Companies like Cloud Guru make it simple to understand what you need. We discuss what this new on-ramp to the world of software means for the rising generation of coders, or those looking to become programmers down the line.

I wanted to comment on the 2019 security issue, but that blog… I’m addicted to commenting, you can’t take away the comment sections.
There’s an old saying regarding privacy: “Real security costs money.”
The reason why OS’s such as Ubuntu are virtually impervious to viruses is because user approval is required every step of the way, for every little change. But this requires human presence and interaction, which costs money – lots of it. So we automate access control and occasionally slip up here and there – shortcuts for everyone!
One day perhaps access-savvy bots will be entrusted with the task of user approval. That way a guard is there to interrogate you at the door regardless of your shiny new key.
