- Read through the bullets What is the fundamental difference between the company's on that first line, the company's that can delivery beautiful products quickly and high quality to their customer. And the large enterprises and mature company's across all industries…....... I believe there are a few fundamental differences, one is it requires visionary leadership with the guts (maybe balls) to take the risk based on their gut feeling and not some 155 page PowerPoint analysis that is worthless waist of all our time, that's a topic for another day. second and probably more important is the ability and understanding that not only is software eating the world but the developers now rule the world, Software creates and drives products and even entire markets. Software has moved into a position of not only driving business value but driving businesses strategy. This is fundamentally enterprises at all sizes and maturity levels including 180 year old pharma company’s or 90 year old insurance and financial company’s, they all need to focus on liberating the dev’s, ensuring they can spend as much time as they can on software and not wasting any time on meaningless no value tasks. Today I will focus on the dev’s portion of this transformation.
- What are we talking about, Dev’s write software in all company’s today, that’s what they do!!! NOT!!!! The current / legacy environment and methods are heavily burdened with non value added crap that the Devs have to deal with… I think James Waters uses the iceberg principal to illustrate this where the part under the water represents the no value tasks and only the small portion above the water actually adds business value or the undifferentiated YAK. Devs need to spend as much time as they can above that waterline…they need to figure out how to drop the shears. The real point is…the C-suite is expecting to deliver value at start-up speeds on products with software behind them...but, the enterprise is built, still, to shave yaks.... The yak includes everything we all know and despise doing, things like kernl, database, hardware, OS, cinfig and H?W and S/W monitoring and config…. Does anyone really enjoy doing this stuff? It’s like shaving a Yak its a meaningless worthless waist of time that adds no value to the business. -------------
- In fact we see large enterprises enamored with shaving the Yak Why do we have to deal with this Yak? It kills everything we live for, speed creativity, energy, happiness… By having to worry about all the Yak we are taking brain power and focus from what we need to be be doing. If it adds zero value to the business why do we continue to do it? It keeps us / the Devs from doing what they love to do and what we are paying them to do. Write business oriented software with the highest quality and beautifull UX. This keeps the devs in a mode where they have to worry about things they really don’t need to anymore, when you have to worry or waist brain cells on anything but the task at hand it all becomes difficult, look at the concentration in that clowns face. I didn't’t think anyone could make juggling look painful but John has accomplished that and that’s what dealing with the Yak does to the Devs, How do we liberate the Devs to ensure they don’t end up shaving the yak and being miserable all day
- How do we liberate the Devs form the things mentioned earlier the Yak ? By providing the environment that simplifies and eliminates a lot of it because the answer to the questions earlier, Does anyone really enjoy doing this stuff? The answer Is No and if they do we should probably take their access away and send them on their way. The spring environment eliminates the no value below the water line tasks, enabling the devs to focus on software driving business product and market value.
- Most of that value is above the waterline. By eliminating the time and effort spent on shaving the yak we can move up stack and closer to the business value add efforts. We fundamentally need to push to ensure the Devs spend most of their valuable time, energy and the creativity above that waterline... this is what it looks like, painless, seamless, effortless, excitement, , happy, ........
- I have seen the transformation on an individual level where developers and even infrastructure automation engineers that moved to the dev side and embraced the push upward above the water line. To entire team and organizations that have realized the real life benefits of removing the yak shaving from the process. Software is eating the world, and this is never the enterprises have no reason to be scared anymore, there are platforms that help even the oldest most conservative enterprises move quickly up stack to business value, moving focus to what truly adds value to the business and allowing technology now to drive the business, strategy and markets The Spring platform positions the enterprise to do just that Focus resources on what’s important to do, liberates devs, moves them closer than ever to driving business results, and makes seeking results a lot more fun! Going back to the beginning I made the statement this was about the Dev and not the executives or leadership that need to get on board. Well this is my warning to that group. Adding spring to the developers arsenal tools has now liberated one of the largest portion of the enterprises resources base, liberated them form the meaningless yak shaving allowing them to delivery to Creating Beautify Software Products That not only Delight the Users / Customers but drive the business and markets. For those leaders and enterprises that have not yet embraced these facts in the hopes the legacy Yak would mask or save them from this new software driven business model. Times up, Spring has freed the devs, they are liberated, excited and doing what they love to do…... Either embrace it or retire to a Yak farm because in this new world there is no room for your type……. And you know who you are
