Each week, I share one insight. One piece of wisdom. One question to reflect on. (and a little Lagniappe)
Platform engineering boils down to consistently delivering positive results on high impact internal projects. Good platform engineering initiatives are measurable and improve the wellbeing of the team (and by extension the organization). To pull this off platform engineers follow a process.
If this sounds eerily like the scientific method, you get a gold star. That is exactly what this is. Platform engineering is all about using the scientific method and the discipline of software engineering to measurably improve software delivery.
It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong, that's all there is to it. - Richard Feynman
What project are you working on right now that just seems to be a bit "off"? What experiments could you run to test your assumptions about the problem?
