Creating Lasting Change
summary
Claim: entrenched contempt culture blocks adoption because business cares about predictability and risk not novelty. The talk names tools—Puppet, SaltStack, Docker, Terraform and cloud services (S3 SQS EC2)—and notes the cloud launch date is 14 March 2006 and adoption still lags thirteen years later. Concrete wins include a Docker demo that convinces a release manager and Etsy’s candy‑jar habit change; argument rests on Conway's Law and measurable shifts in process and trust.
