Can you make an outdated car more modern? I’ve started reading Gregor Hohpe ‘s Platform Strategy book (https://lnkd.in/gZJ2YRy7) and got to the part of API platforms… needless to say this area is near and dear to my heart and I have a lot to say 😉 Quick thought: I think about these “API platforms” referred to in the book (p80)... That the full-stack vendor API platform products are not adequate for the very internal developer platforms that orgs wish to build to improve developer productivity. In fact the vendors used to illustrate the API platforms are exactly outdated. Now you might go through the product brochure of these vendors and see a lot of shiny things in there, and buzzwords used to dilute the value of the real thing, but these bolt on, cloud/modernization washing is not akin to the real thing. And to use a car example for Gregor… taking an 1985 Buick Century and washing, it, shining it, and adding a cassette adapter to play music from our phones does not make it a modern car. I’ll be speaking more about this topic in Boston on Tuesday: Reducing developer overload: give auth, policy, and resilience to the platform https://lnkd.in/gAmT_swJ I’ve written more about it here: https://lnkd.in/g8SSeyrs A burst of many thoughts generated by the book Gregor, thanks for writing it. #Istio #APIPlatform #APIManagement #PlatformEngineering

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with DX to discuss why D2L chose their platform to measure developer experience and productivty. At D2L, we understand the importance of how our developers feel, and how it impacts their ability to deliver outstanding results. Pairing the qualitative and quantitative data gathered by DX allows us to ensure we are working on the things that make our people’s lives easier.

Oso makes this look easy. Historically you either put all of your data into your auth system which is easy, but creates availability and privacy issues, or else you distribute your data which was scalable and secure, but leads to spaghetti authorization logic and complexity for developers. Such a nice balance here. The CAP theorem of authorization?!

At the core of effective engineering leadership is the ability to stay connected with your team. This is perhaps the most challenging aspect because retaining the respect of your people is difficult unless you remain technically involved yourself. In my journey as an engineering leader, staying true to the individual contributor role that originally earned their respect has kept me close. This approach extends beyond technical expertise; it's about maintaining a deep connection with the core activities that propel product development forward at Gearflow. One of my biggest professional fears is becoming irrelevant or disconnected from my team and our work. This fear motivates me to continually reinvent and retool in response to market demands. Next month, I'll be sharing about my adventures generating synthetic data recently. And while I'm no expert when I start preparing for these talks, the process is incredibly valuable. It's less about delivering a perfect talk and more about how the preparation expands my thinking and exposes me to new capabilities. This helps me connect the dots to opportunities at Gearflow that bring real innovation to our customers. Speaking regularly holds me accountable and pushes me to learn ahead of the curve, ensuring I remain relevant and impactful day-to-day. Every talk is a journey of discovery, helping me to lead with humility, communicate clearly, and inspire a culture of innovation through a deep, technical understanding of our work.
