Embrace DevOps, Lead With Vulnerability
summary
Argues that admitting ignorance and sharing ownership speeds DevOps adoption: team translates screenshots and PDFs into converted docs into script readable by screen readers, uses Chef recipes, config management and Slack to let others own fixes, and runs A/B style experiments to prove change. A surprising concrete datum: when Microsoft opensourced .NET it gets 97 pull requests, and after two years of culture change the group reports fewer bottlenecks, more contributions, and faster, safer deployments.
