📺 ChatOps interview with devops.com

Alan Shimel from devops.com and I talk about ChatOps

Ops and Chat

In 2015, as we were spending time with Ops team, to understand how they were actually working (not how the process documented how they were working), we came to realize that chat was very central in their workflow. A couple of weeks later, Slawek Zachcial shares with me a video with Mark Imbriaco - from GitHub at the time - and it blew my mind.

From IRC to rich chat with bots

Since then, we have pushed ChatOps everywhere.

Here is a short video interview with Alan Shimel from devops.com where we discuss ChatOps.

Beyond text chat

I have also been looking at controlling hubot through voice. This works quite well, and definitely has a wow effect (albeit not that useful in an open space).
