Nearly a year ago, Casey Stegman and I wrote a short blog<\/a> on how we had (big) plans to \u201cchange up our marketing approach\u201d\u2026 and how it might involve comic books. We also shared our new marketing mantra: Listen. Learn. Build. Well, I have some great news. We listened, we learned, we built\u2014and today I\u2019d like to share.<\/p>\n

Listening<\/p>\n

In the latter half of 2017 we took our show on the road. After that fateful encounter in Austin<\/a>\u2014where we learned that some developers just want the operating system to \u201cget out of the way\u201d\u2014we knew there was an ocean of knowledge and experiences to learn from. From Cape Cod (Flock<\/a> 2017) to Prague (Open Source Summit Europe 2017<\/a>) to Las Vegas (AWS re:Invent 2017<\/a>) to San Francisco (Red Hat Summit 2018<\/a>), we spoke with literally hundreds of passionate problem solvers. We also had a blast<\/b> discovering people\u2019s various superpowers and illustrating them as the (command line) heroes \/ heroines that they are. Some folks you may recognize:<\/p>\n

Learning<\/p>\n

From these interviews we learned a lot about the challenges that developers, admins, and architects are facing. We learned that while many people are struggling with technical challenges, from embracing containers and re-architecting for hybrid cloud, others are facing equally impressive turbulence as they adopt agile development practices and DevOps workflows. Fun fact here: We also learned a lot about our heroes \/ heroines \u201corigin stories.\u201d While many got their start via some form of video game (Colossal Cave Adventure<\/i> anyone?) others were given early access to various bits of hardware (think: \u201cmy father brought home this crazy machine\u201d) and began their journey from there.<\/p>\n

Building<\/p>\n

What did we do with all of this newfound knowledge and information? We built. Specifically, a podcast, called Command Line Heroes<\/a>, which we debuted earlier this year. It\u2019s a podcast about the people who transform technology from the command line up. We found a successful formula by taking the stories we heard, digging into some additional research, and diving deep into everything from<\/p>\n
