#PlatformEngineering succeeds when reliability and ergonomics reinforce each other - not compete.

Pratik Agarwal explores 3 foundational pillars:
1️⃣ Automated reliability
2️⃣ Developer ergonomics
3️⃣ Operator ergonomics

The result❓ Together, they create a Virtuous Cycle! 🔄

DORA-метрики: как собирать, интерпретировать и не переусердствовать, часть 2

В первой части мы разобрали, как устроены DORA-метрики и что стоит за каждым из пяти показателей. Сложнее другое: одни используют их как инструмент улучшения процессов, другие – как универсальную шкалу зрелости. Разбираемся, почему контекст здесь важнее любого бенчмарка – и с чего начать команде, которая хочет считать метрики осмысленно.

I'm working on an educational app for #amateurradio. In it I have visualizations for different factors that affect radio signal propogation.

My AI agents hit a quality plateau. Prompt tweaks weren't helping.

The problem? My agent was anchored to MY understanding of the domain, reflecting my blind spots back at me. 🤦‍♂️

Here's how I got through it:

[Перевод] Как в Mercado Libre перевели внутреннюю платформу разработки на Kubernetes

Перевели третий материал из цикла статей о технологической трансформации Mercado Libre. Эта часть посвящена углубленному анализу технических и стратегических аспектов, лежащих в основе решения о переходе на Kubernetes. В ней анализируют рассмотренные альтернативы, сложности, возникшие в процессе внедрения, а также то, как принятые решения продолжают поддерживать мультиоблачную стратегию и операционную устойчивость.

What a friggin wild first quarter I tell you what. As of today lost my boss and his boss so no director of SRE and no VP of TechOps.

I am ... I am in the midst of patterns I have experienced in the past, but in much more high stakes positions. We are under a reorg and I will be honest ... the thing probably saving me from cuts is that I took a low salary. No clue what's to come... except I kinda do have an intuition about it.

I see something happen in the way a CTO handles a shift in power that I have begun to find intuitive because I have witnessed all sides of it so many fucking times. Like I know what they're doing, and I know where they're going next. When things happen, like heads of departments are just gone one day, I have seen this battle before. Ain't my first rodeo, try ain't my tenth.

Hard to tell how things will shake down. Ultimately I think the work we're accomplishing in DevEx is carving out a recognized need that makes my little team's center for excellence work indispensable. I have worked damn hard to forge some bonds there that I could not do elsewhere.

I guess one feeling I have is that I can only go up from here as long as I can hang on. Now that I can get over freaking out about it, I can enjoy the ride instead!

"I got seriously interested in DX last year. Very happy to have been at this event (another in a long list of GrUSP events in which I am more than happy to participate)"

"I attended the #dxday by GrUSP, and to sum up the event in one word: outstanding!
It was an entire event dedicated to #DevEx with talks of the highest caliber and great emphasis on #IDPs and #AI."

So, why would you miss the second edition?😃

I'm drafting a diagram to explain how before/after hooks work in unit tests.

They tend to work the same way across test frameworks, so it's not unique to QUnit. But, new devs will learn this for the first time, so I think it's worth explaining.

Having a little discussion about our passionate view of things in the DevEx team I'm on and I offered this:

"studying Resilience Engineering saved my life, there's no doubt about it. there is so much good to be had from RE that i want to share with the world. i hope that we can get closer to RE practices here. not because i want to show i've done it, i don't care about resume filling. but to show people there's a better way. it takes care of humans and is more curious about the system. fix errors, but also discover insight."

~~~ Be Not Measurable ~~~

If developer productivity should be measured at all, maybe it should be with sociograms that show how much actual collaboration happens and how it becomes reflected in the organization of the technology (Conway's Law enters the chat).

Which you bet is invasive shit that can feel like Big Brother is watching, regardless of the data being collected. But tech management seems to want to do it anyway, without thinking about it from our perspective at the sharp-end.

These complicated ways they want to measure Work As Imagined and Work As Prescribed become huuuuge compliance pressure on us. They care very little about Work As Done because it can't be predicted. It's very unmeasurable work, especially in SRE.

This is the same neoliberal thinking that we can quantify everything, make all Work measurable, so that only Good Training - not Expertise - is needed to do the Work. Hire lower paid or even robotic agents. Profit.

For instance, attributing Root Cause is fundamentally misaligned with how we need to understand the way things Succeed.

If we look at history and point to the downhill slope of failure, we're looking past what Resilience has already made this "failure" not be more of a failure than it is. So is it a failure at all?

When we measure success, we tend to measure multiple things and consider all kinds of abductive reasoning to point at all the various paths for success to happen.

In tech, we do the opposite for incidents, especially when only failures count. So if you are in an org viewing incidents as causal pathways to automate away, then maybe AI can replace those humans and the org will continue to suffer exactly the same kinds of incidents.

Well, the silver lining I guess is that AI can't replace what can't be measured.

Continuing me research around #microservice #devex does anybody know how https://monzo.com/blog/2022/06/24/redefining-our-microservice-development-process/ worked out at Monzo? 2 year old post, nothing since directly related.

I think I'll thread my research here

➡️ As a #PlatformEngineer, how do you help your customers go quicker?
➡️ Which aspects of #DeveloperExperience should you care about?
➡️ More importantly, how do you curate an experience for them?

In this #InfoQ article, Andy Burgin (Principal Platform Engineer at Flutter) shares his journey and key learnings from implementing #DevEx within his organization. He dives into the practical steps his team took, what strategies worked (and which didn’t), how success was measured, and how the team's focus on developer experience evolved over the years.

This is a must-read for any platform engineer: https://bit.ly/3Zw6EU8

#PlatformEngineering #DevOps

A few weeks ago I organized a Meetup about client-side platform teams where we explain the efforts we do in the Mobile and Web Platform teams in Glovo to empower the product engineers.

I present myself in the first talk specifically about mobile, sharing some of the initiatives we've done during the last year and our ways of working.

I hope you enjoy it! What do you do different or recommend us to try?
