DevOps Is More About Customer Feedback And Quick Learning...
summary
Claims that DevOps is mainly about customer feedback and rapid learning not culture or tools. Specifics include using error budgets with denied SRE support to align incentives, shipping 50 deploys/day and then instrumenting follow‑up, iterating to drive 10x revenue in one year, and running ~200k RPS on Kubernetes plus a Screwdriver CD pipeline and a Daily Fantasy product that worked. Anti‑patterns include added bureaucratic layers that let P1 outages sit for 13+ hours.
