Episode 185: Drink your own dog food

Drink your own dog food\n\n

No matter the searing product strategy insight, ops is always left holding the bag. With few exceptions (like NSX), infrastructure software has to be free and easy to check out and even use. All product management and strategy decisions flow from that. Usually. Except when they don\u2019t. Also, developers don\u2019t pay for anything, they trick ops into it. Maybe that\u2019ll change in public cloud land, but who knows?
