Kayla Cinnamon and Rich Turner on DevOps on the Windows Terminal Team - Episode 54

On this week's podcast, Kayla Cinnamon and Rich Turner are joining the show! Kayla is a Program Manager on the Windows Terminal Team and has been working for Microsoft for the last 8 years, and Rich is a Senior Program Manager, also on the Windows Terminal Team and has been with Microsoft for nearly 4 years.

Kayla and Rich are speaking with Jeffrey today to discuss how the Windows Terminal Team does DevOps. They'll be speaking about all the recent news regarding the new Windows Terminal, the history of what it has meant to the command line on Windows (as such a critical part of the operating system), and all that they do to ship code and set up their DevOps environment! They also share information on which dependencies and environment you need to have in place to actually build it and run it locally for yourself.

Tune in to get the full scope on this really critical piece of software!
