Thank you to the greater Columbus developer community for an exceptional Stir Trek 2026! This was a conference recommended to me multiple times and finally got invited this year. It was such a pleasure to be invited and present to the community here.
This blog post is a reference for those who attended my presentations as well as a thank you letter to everyone involved.

My presentation was "The DevOops Handbook" and is always a favorite to present. The session focused on satirically talking about all the mistakes we frequently make in the software development lifecycle for the reasons DevOps is so important, but are antithetical to the principles of DevOps. We talked about the three ways: masochistic deployments, project mismanagement, and the quality void. The slides and additional resources are available below:
Thank you again if you attended my presentations or any of the other amazing sessions at Stir Trek 2026. I hope to see you again next year at the 2027 event! Also thank you to the organizers and volunteers who made this event possible. And a special thank you to the sponsors. These are the companies helping to make this event happen and investing in the future Midwestern developer community:
