@duﬄeit we need more Governance, Reusage, and Collaboration. Probably, but
you do not need Platform Engineer therefore

@duﬄeit Platforms focus on accelerating the speed of delivery rather
than on reuse and standardization.

@duﬄeit Platforms are more useful in optimizing Economics of Speed,
not Scale.

Diverse Applications Reusage Platform?

@duffleit without limiting the Problem Space We limit the Problem
Space Specific Things Common Things Config Unified Interface Complex Tech Diverse Applications We constraint the Solution Space

@duffleit Specific Things Common Things Config Unified Interface Complex Tech
Diverse Applications Economies of Scale. Economies of Speed. No Differentiator Differentiator

@duﬄeit Diverse Lower Invesment Differentiator Standardization High Invesment No Differentiator

@duﬄeit If your users haven't built anything that surprises you,
then you probably haven't developed a good platform. my Favorite KPI for Platform
