Justinā€™s January update

Hi Everyone,

Itā€™s been a few months since I sent an email becauseĀ 

1) the subscriber sign up form was overrun with spamĀ 
2) I was mostly taking a break during holidaysĀ 
3) I lost the template I created for email and havenā€™t figure out how to make nice looking email from an iPad (my new writing device)

If youā€™re on this email and would like to unsubscribe please just reply and let me know. Iā€™m trying a new newsletter service (https://justingarrison.recur.email) to help cut down on spam but I have no idea how unsubscribing works.

The most important thing I wrote recently is about Amazonā€™s (and other companies) practices for silently forcing people out without severanceā€“ā€œsilent sackingā€. This includes me and many people I know.


The second big news is Iā€™m taking over the Changelog Ship It podcast! I have a great cohost and a lot of ideas for what I want to cover. If you run production software or are responsible for any part of the software lifecycle after `git commit` Iā€™d love to hear from you.

Please send an email to shipit@changelog.com so we can brainstorm ideas.Ā 

https://shipit.show

This new podcast means Iā€™ll be retiring my live stream/podcast ā€œFork itā€ soon. You can see the latest episodes where I ordered Dominos pizza with Kubernetes here

I also posted a video remembering my friend Kris NĆ²va. Itā€™s available here

I hope 2024 is a great year for you!

Keep rocking šŸ¤˜
