Fantastic presentation. I really like your perspective on freedom vs autonomy. You have convinced me to use freedom instead.

29:19 What the speaker calls "tech stacks" is what used to be called "platforms", and the speaker calls Kubernetes a platform whereas it would have been called infrastructure or IaaS a couple of years ago. It seems that "platform" means "platform or infrastructure" these days, in other words "PaaS or IaaS". I wonder why the IT community hasn't picked up on this change in what words mean.

[@jonassteinberg3779]

Exceedingly high level. Meant for an executive or other senior manager with virtually no prior understanding of what a platform might actually be.

[@oloyedepaul1363]

Awesome 👍

Excellent presentation, away from dogmatic, apostolate and evanligistic views. It brings , concisely, words to my inner gut feelings about the whole of it. Not only is for engineers, not only the cool tools and trend of the moment, as you expose it, I find it to be independent as it can always extend, restrain whilst keeping guidelines and flexibility. How do you integrate, mix legacy stuff into the equation though and still provide some of the benefits you presented, thanks. JC

Linux is a platform on many platforms... Distros provide the curation GNU Tools to build it.

[@kayakMike1000]

Everyone has some sort of platform, whether it's well engineered or not even thought about.
