I'm absolutely thrilled to finally share the highlights of my Ph.D thesis journey: Achieving Successful DevOps Adoption in IT Organizations. It has been a fascinating deep dive into DevOps’ adoption, untamed ocean.

For years, I've been passionate about this DevOps problem. From arguing about siloed teams to geeking out at open-source meetups, I've seen firsthand the virtues – and the difficulties – of trying to bring Dev and Ops together. And let's be honest, while everyone and their cousins seem to be talking about DevOps benefits like swifter releases and more satisfied customers, the reality...

The recently upgraded Large Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) captured the signal on Sept. 14, 2015. Not every scientific discovery gets this kind of reception, so what exactly is all the hype about, and what's next for LIGO now that it...
