Are we going to see harness engineering teams? Yes: these are already emerging. It’s too early to say, but that feels wrong in the same way that DevOps teams were a misunderstanding of DevOps-the-movement. My belief is that while there is friction in having every team create their own harness, that friction is generative and creative. There’s value for your teams there.
Don’t build your own platform, build your own apps.
Also, the street found its own uses for DevOps. Or: what we wanted was kindness at scale, what we got was platform engineering.
