The negative side-effect is that people tend to take what they want from presentations, and present them as fact or proof of best practices. Since this presentation, I know systems administrators at a number of rather poorly engineered, but large start-ups who have said "Our developers saw that and said, "See we should break the service all of the time and you should get in the way of deployments even if it means having to wake you up at 3am every night" ...
- Jallspaw 17y agoSounds like they weren't understanding the presentation, because that certainly isn't at all the type of communication or collaboration we have at Flickr. The video of the presentation, which might give more context, is here: http://velocityconference.blip.tv/file/2284377/ http://velocityconference.blip.tv/file/2284377/ (please pardon my potty mouth on the video)
- dnsworks 17y agoI've watched it several times, it's a great video. I've just heard several stories now (often when asking admin friends if they watched it) of developers using it as an excuse for bad behavior, cherry picking a couple of points.
