Serverless is important because it sharpens focus on business value. @ben11kehoe says you can apply that in any tech stack.
His talk at #deliverAgile was brilliant.

Serverless is a direction, not a destination.
There is no end state.

Keep moving technical details out of the team’s focus, in favor of customer value. #deliverAgile

Developers are part of something bigger than ourselves.
It is not about us. Nor the tech or code we identify with.

Be clever about business problems, not tech problems.

Code is a liability. At best, it can do what you wanted.
@ben11kehoe #deliverAgile
It can never do better than what you thought of when you wrote it. We need humans for that.

Flow state is a means to an end of delivering complexity.
It feels good, which doesn’t make it the best path to value.

Serverless is about:
- minimalism
- letting go
- removing distractions
FOCUS on customer value.

Use vendors and managed services. Accept the discomfort of not owning your own destiny.
Own their outages as yours, and face it: yours would be worse if you ran it yourself, in addition to everything else you care about.

We are integrators of tech, very rarely constructors of tech, when we are focused on customer value. @ben11kehoe #deliverAgile
