Digital legacies and The Unicorn Project

Here’s an extra-length episode to keep you going over the holiday season. Ash selfishly relishes the upcoming Twitter username purge but realises that you need to be careful with digital legacies, even those which involve insulting footballers. Ian delved into 'The Unicorn Project', follow up to one of his number fave books, 'The Phoenix Project' and unwittingly creates a DevOps version of the 12 Days of Christmas.
