5 minutes thinking about solutions.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise.

Seek what they sought.

don’t seek devops, continuous delivery, containers, microservices…

Page 49: Chop Wood, Carry Water

Call to Action• Question everything

• Don’t limit yourself with labels (devops or otherwise)

• Find the Why, What will follow

• Get mud on your hands

• Play to win

• Know you can
