We had the pleasure of speaking with Dave Carroll, a DevOps engineer and former sandwich artist. We discussed the importance of psychological safety in the workplace, transitioning to DevOps, and learning Python as a PowerShell user. Dave also shared some great advice from Jeffrey Snover: “Do things in small patches and don’t be a jerk.” Tune in to hear all the great advice and tips from Dave! 

Guest Bio and links:

Dave’s been working in IT for nearly 30 years and in that time has worn many hats, from technician and cable installer, to systems and network administrator, to scripter and developer, to engineer and architect. He’s been using and learning PowerShell since version 2. In 2017, he joined the online PowerShell community by tweeting a picture of his fresh PowerShell tattoo. The next year, he started blogging about PowerShell and has published a few modules in the gallery, most notably BluebirdPS, a Twitter automation client.
