Book excerpt: Authors: Chris Riley, Dr. Cherry Vu, Eliza-May Austin, Marc Cluet, Jaclyn Damiano, Rob England, Jasmine James, Sladjana Jovanovic, Ryan Lockard, Larry Maccherone, Bill McArthur Another year, another nine failures. That's just the way it goes when you ask to hear stories about Epic Failures. Everybody's got one. Last year, in 2019, when we published the first Epic Failures book, we had no idea whether anyone would be interested. Thousands of downloads later, with literally thousands of printed books being handed out at conferences, we now know the truth: the community loves failure. At least hearing about other people's failures. Volume Two builds on the momentum created by Volume One. The quality of this set of stories is outstanding, starting with "Question Everything" by the DevSecOps Contrarian herself, Eliza May Austin. Larry Maccherone, "SHIFT Left. NOT S#!T Left", runs through a list of six ways to fail on a project, while "Making Everyone Visible In Tech" by Jaclyn Damiano tells a personal story of life transformation through tech. Sladjana Jovanovic and Bill McArthur from TD Bank take on the Herculean task of breaking down silos to create a collaborative environment in "Collaboration vs Silos". "What Not to do When Rolling out DevSecOps and Other Learnings" comes from Jasmine James in her work as an IT Manager at Delta Airlines. Marc Cluet takes on cultural transformation, "Cultural Approaches to Transformations: Staying Safe and Healthy", while Ryan Lockard focuses on "The Seven Deadly Sins of DevSecOps". Chris Riley asks us the meme inducing question, "Did you try turning it off and on?" when examining simple bugs that have debilitating outcomes, and we finish with IT Sceptic Rob England and Dr Cherry Vu encouraging us to "Kill the Restructure". One of the motivations for publishing a book like this is for you, the reader, to be able to self-identify with the stories. It is our hope that you will see yourself somewhere within these pages and know you did not screw things up on your own, you are not unique when it comes to hosing a project, and sometimes you can sit back and laugh after it's all over. It's important to be able to step back and get perspective when something goes wrong, and even better to let others know what happened.I'm proud to give these authors the chance to tell their stories and hope it encourages you to let others know about your Epic Failures. Who knows? You might end up telling your story in Volume 3 of Epic Failures in DevSecOps. Best wishes on your next productive failure.
