DevOps vs. Platform Engineering
Midjourney: a Soviet style poster with a software developer standing triumpantly on-top of a pile of software developers robots.

Product Management in Platform Engineering
Suggested soundtrack: I really enjoy the London Eye show. I don’t listen to it enough. This morning I gave my talk on platform stuff – platform engineering, building an app stack on kubernetes, etc. It was fun as always.
