Involved with DevOps Amsterdam since 2013. I'm an engineering manager with a passion for Developer Experience (DX) and Platform Engineering and leading teams to deliver great products.
Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the event, so thank you for the summary @floord ! With the coming of more focus on platforms, devex and seeing that decreasing friction for developers I finally feel that DevOps is becoming useful. There are still plenty of anti-patterns that teams can fall into though (some of them described in your post) so good guidance is definitely needed.
Is it time to create a DevEx community in Amsterdam? I have more free time soon. hint hint
