I can take the output of my brain and scale it to the world.

If we go from Idea to Behavior change to new Idea…
how quickly we can do that depends on the structure.

as fast as we can,
it’s gonna get slower and slower and then the developers will get frustrated and leave and the new developers will be even slower…
So sometimes, we make a structure change before the behavior change.

SRE teams try to keep toil under 50%.
Only 50% of work that has no enduring value...

Not getting results you want from data lake? You may think of trying data lake in the cloud - but it's the same paradigm with same issues. @zhamakd at #QConSF
The problem is that the layers in data lake design map to technical components. This doesn't work - change is orthogonal.
Data engineers are siloed and stuck between teams with different incentives and priorities.
