"So now, we’ve arrived at The Platform. Note the capital ’T’ and ‘P’. This is it. The time has come. We brought all this stuff, now we have to make it work together.
The reality is, much of the effort around platform engineering is NOT about empowering developers, it’s about hiding the towering pile of crap we’ve assembled and now have to hide from the people we apparently got it for in the first place"
"If you're a team who cares about empowering developers, you'll think about offering training, doing outreach, embedding yourself in delivery teams to help them use the tools and also get feedback on if the solutions you are offering are appropriate. All of those things seem like they'd be the responsibility of the Delivery Enablement team, don't they? The Platform Team though? Sorry, I've got a Kubernetes cluster to polish."
