Explore a thought-provoking conference talk that challenges conventional approaches to technology adoption, using Kubernetes as a case study. Learn how to make better technology choices by focusing on simplicity, ease of implementation, and addressing organizational bottlenecks rather than solely considering technological potential. Discover the importance of asking the right questions and finding appropriate solutions that minimize complexity and organizational friction. Gain insights into metrics such as cycle time, takt time, one-piece flow, context switching, and adoption rate to understand how technology impacts people and organizations. Examine real-world examples and strategies for improving workflow, reducing technical debt, and avoiding common pitfalls in technology implementation.
