Transcript:
ADRIANA: Hey, fellow geeks. Welcome to Geeking Out, the podcast about all geeky aspects of software delivery DevOps, Observability, reliability, and everything in between. I'm your host, Adriana Villela, coming to you from Toronto, Canada. And with me today, I have Rizelle Scarlett. Welcome, Rizel.
RIZEL: Hi. Thank you for having me. It's super fun already, even though the podcast has just started.
ADRIANA: Yay! I'm so excited to have you on. And where are you calling from today?
RIZEL: I'm calling from Boston, Massachusetts, right now.
ADRIANA: Awesome. So, fellow, fellow east coaster. As someone who lives in Boston, I gotta ask. So I just came back from a vacation trip to Stowe, Vermont. Have you ever been up that way? Because I have a bunch of family that. That goes up to Stowe, so I'm wondering if that's, like, a destination for Bostonians.
RIZEL: Interesting. I never really go to Vermont or Maine, but it's like a place I want to go. Like, it looks. When I see the pictures, it looks pretty. It's really weird. Like, sometimes when you live close to places, you don't go visit them, but you go to the far place.
ADRIANA: It is so true. Because it's like, it'll always be there. Whatever.
RIZEL: I take it for granted.
ADRIANA: It's so true. It's so true. Well, before we get started with the meaty bits, I always subject my guests to some icebreaker questions. So are you ready?
RIZEL: I'm ready. Let's go.
ADRIANA: Okay, first question. Are you a lefty or a righty?
