Hey speaking of which, I'm curious and would love to hear... what is your favorite *useful* definition of "platform"? (must be falsifiable, not just a marketing or fundraising term du jour, or snarky, etc)

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. 🤔
Thanks for your interesting answers! As an infrastructure engineer, my working definition of a platform goes something like this (i'm now seeing how infra-specific it is):

"You have a platform when you invite your users' chaos to sit on your systems, not theirs."
by "users' chaos" i mean not the chaos your users render unto your business, but unto the users' own businesses on your servers. the chaos dealt to your users by users-of-users.

If your business relies on an MSP or SI to run your SDLC and release cycles, you are doing it wrong. #DOES18
The MSP and SI have an incentive to artificially limit the amount of changes you can push in any environment, and then up charge based on the number of (totally artificial) allocated build / deploys per month.
Why would anyone want to be beholden to managed services running the change process inside your business....when it can be fully automated?

{narrator voice}: the MSP and SI are not aligned to YOUR operational objectives.
