Hey, fellow geeks. Welcome to Geeking Out, the podcast about all geeky aspects of software delivery DevOps, observability, reliability, and everything in between. I'm your host, Adriana Villela. Coming to you from Toronto, Canada. And geeking out with me today is Denise Yu of HashiCorp. Welcome, Denise.DENISE:Thanks so much, Adriana. Very excited to be here.ADRIANA:I'm excited too. And where are you calling from?DENISE:I'm also in Toronto. We're neighbors.ADRIANA:Yes. Yeah. I always say on the podcast, I always get very excited when I have a fellow Torontonians on. We need, you know, we need to get some good representation in Canada.DENISE:Yes, yes, we are only 10% of the Cana... Actually, no, I think I think the GTA is 20% of the Canadian population.ADRIANA:AV: Oh, damn. That's. Yeah. DENISE:I mean, we are there's a lot of us, actually.ADRIANA:There are a lot of us. Well, with that, I think this is a great segway to get into our lightning round questions.DENISE:Let's do it.ADRIANA:Ready... Okay, let's let's see how lightning they are. They may or may not be. I roll with it. Okay, first question, are you a lefty or a righty?DENISE:I am right handed.ADRIANA:Okay. Do you prefer iPhone or Android?DENISE:I have an iPhone. I don't really know how to use Android anymore, but every time I try to use my friend's Android phone, I end up calling her mom by accident. I just don't know how to use it. So I'm going to go iPhone for the, like, basic reason: I know how to use an iPhone.ADRIANA:And it's funny because my my mom, had, an Android for a hot minute because even though my dad had an... he had an iPhone for work. That was his primary cell phone. He decides he's going to buy my mom a freaking Android. My mom was computer illiterate. Like, who would any, like, any panic. Like, if she hit the wrong thing on a phone and it took her to a different screen, it would be. Like, oh my God, my phone is broken. I'm like. So she’d call me for tech support on her Android. And it's like, okay, if I if I'm there physically with your phone, I can probably figure it out. But like you calling me, I have an iPhone. I have no frickin’ clue what's going on here.DENISE:Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's not just her. I consider myself pretty, pretty tech literate. And I also struggle.ADRIANA:Yeah, it's a bit of. It's a bit of a maze. I ended up buying her an iPhone eventually because I'm like, oh, I can't deal with this. You have an iPad get... Let's get you an iPhone, mom.DENISE:Yeah, exactly. Exactly.ADRIANA:Yeah. All right, next question. Do you prefer Mac, Linux, or Windows?DENISE:Oh, you know, I don't do that much development anymore, because I'm a manager now, but, for development, I think my brain is just most attuned to using Macs. I've developed in a Linux environment before, but, just having to think about every piece of software that you want to download does get in the way. I think. Yeah. So yeah, I'm going to I'm going to go with the, the boring answer here and say, Mac, I'm best at using Macs for development and otherwise, these days.ADRIANA:All right. Down for it, down for it. Yeah. Linux is fun. If you're, like, fiddling around, I find, I mean, I, I've, I've interviewed people who are like, yeah, Linux.DENISE:Yeah.ADRIANA:You know, I've had fun with Linux, but like, sometimes when all I need is for the damn thing to work...DENISE:Yes, exactly.ADRIANA:Yeah. Yeah. So. Okay. Next question. What's your favorite programing language?DENISE:Ooh. I trained as a Ruby developer, so I feel like Ruby still has a place near and dear to my heart.

Welcome to Geeking Out, the podcast about all geeky aspects of software delivery DevOps, observability, reliability, and everything in between. I'm your host, Adriana Villela, coming to you from Toronto, Canada. And geeking out with me today is Angela Blake. Welcome, Angela.ANGELA:Hi. Hi. Happy to be here. Thanks for having me.ADRIANA:Thank you for joining. I'm super excited to have you on. And where are you calling from today?ANGELA:I'm calling from a very humid Toronto, downtown Canada. I said that in such an odd order, but downtown Toronto and that. I'm on the waterfront down here. Very busy. Very warm. I'm loving it.ADRIANA:Awesome. And the waterfront is honestly, like, one of my favorite spots in Toronto in the summer. Same name. Beat that.ANGELA:Yeah. Yeah, I live down here. I work down here. I'm a waterfront person.ADRIANA:Oh, that's so perfect. Yay! Hooray for sunny days. Cool. Well, we're going to get started with some, I will say, lightning round slash icebreaker questions.ANGELA:I'm ready.ADRIANA:Are you ready?ANGELA:I think I am, I think I am.ADRIANA:Okay, let's do this. First question. Are you a lefty or rightyANGELA:Oh, a righty. 100%. Always have been.ADRIANA:All right. Are you an iPhone or Android user?ANGELA:I have to say I'm an iPhone person. I have all of the, I would say Apple products, so to speak. I love the compatibility.ADRIANA:I'm with you on that. Yes, I too am a “All things Apple.”ANGELA:Yeah. Yeah I just I like that everything just connects with each other. I don't have to really do much as a consumer or a user. I know Android has, like some amazing abilities to, personalize and customize, etc., but I'm good with what I get from Apple.ADRIANA:I'm with you. It's funny because all people are like, you can't customize Apple. I'm like, yeah, I'm okay with that. I'm don’t want to spend my days doing that.ANGELA:Yeah, yeah, I can customize my background just enough for me. I'm. Yeah.ADRIANA:Good enugh. Good enough. I'm down. I'm down. Okay. Similar question. Do you prefer Mac, Linux, or Windows?ANGELA:Oh, I honestly might not go along with my last answer, but I like Windows. Okay. I think because I've professionally always used Windows. So I'm that's what I'm used to. Like, you know, the Office suite, the the just the the usability of it, I think is kind of what I grew up. You think, so to speak. So it's just the most natural version for me.ADRIANA:Yeah, I feel ya.ANGELA:I do. Yeah, I do. Sorry I cut you off a little bit there, but I do have a MacBook at home that my son uses because I'm just like, I’m not as proficient...ADRIANA:It takes some getting used to, I have to admit, because I, I grew up in Windows Land as well. Like, you know, when Windows95 came out, I'm like, “whoa”. It can’t get any better than this.ANGELA:You're taking me back in time.ADRIANA:I know, right? Yeah. I mean, I remember Windows 3.1, and I was like, you know, the first time I saw a mouse, my dad's like, do you want to see something cool as a kid? He's like, you want to see something cool? I can show you a mouse right here. And I'm like, oh, and then he shows it to me and it's like it's a pointer on a screen. I'm like, what the hell is this??ANGELA:Oh my gosh. Yeah.ADRIANA:Letdown!ANGELA:I remember being able to customize my pointer like, functionality. Like to have it like, do the drag. The, the effects and whatnot. And that was like just that was the ultimate. Or the little fire. Like, people were actually putting effort into what the cursor did. They might still be. But I, you know, I've moved on, I guess.ADRIANA:Yeah, I know what you mean. Like when this stuff was very novel. Like, I remember when I got my first, computer with sound, which I think it was like, I want to say it was like a laptop. My parents bought me to go to university, and this was like in 1997. It had sound and it was like, not, it was like a it had a sound card, but it was like, not the greatest sound.ADRIANA:And I'm...
