THE CURVE IS BENDING DOWN, SO QUESTION EVERYTHING

The public cloud is no longer economically viable
Distributed systems are not practical
Kubernetes is now too difficult to use
Developer relations (DevRel) is no longer needed by vendors

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EARLY ADOPTERS AND MAINSTREAM

Early adopters typically have a specific problem they are trying to solve
Near-term and long-term goals don’t always align
The ROI of technology doesn’t always happen immediately
Resume-driven-development is a real thing in good times
Economic downturns shine a light on practicality and profitability
Greed is a factor in good times and bad times
