Engineering organisations are complex. Successful software systems require talented, unique individuals to collaborate closely.
In this blog, I explore the human factors in software and technology-centric organisations and how to survive when, sometimes, what you’re doing is only DevOps by name. I’m also exploring different ideas and attitudes to software engineering. For example, does engineering become easier or better if we adopt a more more team-centric or ego-centric view?
My name is Richard Bown, and I’m a DevOps contractor, software systems designer and author.
