“My goal is to basically be AWS, but for the developers in the sense that like, my five man SRE team can support 10 developers, it can support 1000 developers” - Hans Knecht, Platform Engineer
Hans Knecht has over 10+ years in the industry at companies including Mission Lane and Capital One. Whether he is designing self-serving platforms, creating comprehensive documentation, or providing technical recommendations, his efforts ultimately help developers take the tedium out of building great applications.
Join as we discuss:
- The importance of good documentation, and why the phrase “They don’t quit a bad job, they quit a bad manager” can also apply to platforms with poor documentation.
- The terrifying moment when a mistake in a piece of code was pushed to production (And how his team got everything back up and running).
- Why technical conversations are actually business conversations.
- Why Hans thinks everyone should learn Kubernetes.
