Sessions
As of Dec 1st, I'm working for a brand-new startup: https://overmind.tech/ to help build a new company providing new infrastructure insights.
This talk is the story of my first 60 days as first employee: * onboarding (problem space, go, terraform, aws) * development environment (VS Code, remote containers, CI) * cultural foundations (collaboration, communication) * development (from prototype to demo site)
With this talk I want to give a pretty raw report on the things that happened in these two months in the hope that sharing this experience provides insights (e.g. if you're considering the step yourself) to at least entertainment of following along the ride.
