if the developers are the only ones changing, cloud native is not going to work #IBMGarage @holly_cummins

there is a cost: developers leave #IBMGarage @holly_cummins

if you automate something, change the processes around that assume that the previously manual process is expensive or error prone. #IBMGarage @holly_cummins
