I’ll throw a theory in there: the @Etsy culture that produced your tooling is not as easily copied, so the tools that embed those values and capabilities that it’s a system to discover the system isn’t something that resonates early. 🤷♂️
Replying to @chrismunns and @Etsy
My take is that ops tooling embeds (or ignores) assumptions about the material being acted upon. Not to mention the micro motives and incentives for the people involved. Whether “glue work” is considered valuable due to the outcomes, or dismissed as “not technical” because NIH. https://twitter.com/rakyll/status/1461049242345111554

Understood - that day will come soon :)
Hot take: CI/CD is an aspiring experimentation engine. There is a huge space that a service can explore (features, performance, availability, cost, etc.) and increasing the experimentation rate means greater opportunities.
Build an engine that enables fast learning.
Replying to @mweagle
The constraining metaphor is the pipeline itself. It’s a reductionist view that implies delivering a homogeneous material over time.
I suppose it could be reduced to “bytes”, but that’s not particularly helpful.
Replying to @mweagle
When the material soon breaks the homonegeneity illusion, the “pipeline” starts to feel limiting. Because it’s not built to deliver variety or understand history.
But that’s what we need it to do. Because if we could predict the future…
Replying to @mweagle
We would only need SingleIntegration/SingleDeployment.
TL;DR; Rebrand to ContinuousExperimentation/ContinuousLearning
Replying to @dberkholz
Cool. We could benefit from more evolutionary metaphors and fewer manufacturing ones. 😀
Replying to @dberkholz
That makes sense & I’m thinking more in terms of path-dependence and the external conditions changing over time which creates new opportunities. Agree that intentionally exploring those via hypotheses and experiments is the way to go.
