Niko Naredi studied chemistry, and got his PhD in Biophysics in 2014. During that time when working on super-resolution microscopes, he unintentionally found himself drifting into the enchanting realm of automation. With a short detour in Berlin for Picoquant (a laser and research equipment manufacturer) and the ETH Zurich for Microfluidics, he joined National Instrument Switzerland as Applications Engineer in 2016 where he got (and gave) lots of LabVIEW and TestStand training. He changed to the Systems Engineering department, which was shortly thereafter renamed to Applications Engineering, so he became an Applications Engineer again until they closed the Swiss branch of NI. Niko joined Zühlke Engineering in 2019 as a Systems Engineer, originally working on test systems with his focus shifting more into the med-tech and consulting direction. Along this path, he had an epiphany: what if we could borrow some secrets from our rockstar DevOps colleagues in software engineering and apply them to our non-DevOps world? And just like that, a new passion was born: exploring how we can infuse our little corner of automation with the awesomeness and buzzwords that make up DevOps. In this episode, Sam and Niko talk about DevOps, and how we all have shared pains in development. https://www.thelabviewexperiment.com/episodes/season2-episode12-a-broader-perspective-of-labview monthly 0.5 2024-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bf4aca629808658587960f/276b2d78-8bff-4317-8bb7-f8bc3d4a7ece/s2e12+IG+thumb.jpeg Episodes - Season 2, Episode 12: A Broader Perspective of LabVIEW | Ben Leedom - What are we discussing today?

Kyle started writing code in '81, and started work at his dad's software shop in '82. He gave up code for teaching in '92 when he discovered his love of helping people improve. He gave up teaching kids for teaching code in '97 when he discovered teachers don't get paid. In '00, he converted to evangelical eXtreme Programming, doing, teaching how, and proselytizing. Since then he's become a generalist on "lets build software better" and has concluded that the biggest problem along the way is a poor understanding of "better". For a couple years, he was CIO for Swanleap, the Inc #1 fastest growing startup in the US. Now he's again looking for work building software better. In this episode, Sam and Kyle talk about the five goals of software development and how distinguishing between them can help you run projects better. https://www.thelabviewexperiment.com/episodes/season2-episode10-the-biggest-lie monthly 0.5 2024-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bf4aca629808658587960f/8e8598ee-3718-4c96-9cfa-5b8e5527834f/s2e10+IG+Thumb.jpeg Episodes - Season 2, Episode 10: The Biggest Lie | John Wu - What are we discussing today?

Who doesn’t need a good sparring partner? Jörg Hampel is one of my favorite people on the planet, and one of the reasons for that is our differing opinions. Our conversations force us to grow and think about things in a way that allows us to find new solutions. Speaking of new solutions, what is the “best” way to do anything? What makes it the “best”? Your “best” practices could be holding you back from the creative solutions that make everything better.
