Optimizing DevOps and Organizational Structure: Solving The Phoenix Project

Optimize All The Things

In this episode Ivan asks Bartek to solve the problems presented in the book "The Phoenix Project". We talk about DevOps, organizational structures, the mythical 10x engineer, the value of mentors, and why Kubernetes does not just magically solve all of the above. No prior reading of "The Phoenix Project" required - we also try to keep spoilers to the minimum. As always, we also cover some of the news that got our attention this week. Show notes:
