Is this what happens when product engineering runs the company? In all of my previous jobs, the production customer-facing systems have been separated from the internal day-to-day IT systems. Beyond potentially sharing a physical building/dc, IT and engineering could in no way interfere with each other.
- Jare 5y agoIf your company dogfoods their own products then this can happen. I would expect the value of dogfooding to be massively larger than the cost of internal losses in cases like this. But it's good to remember to have a plan B.
- treesknees 5y agoI'm not sure I agree. It's one thing to treat IT as a customer for a product or service your company offers. I don't doubt that the business also uses FB messenger to communicate for example. But FB as a consumer product doesn't offer DNS or SAML or any of these other critical services, so why would IT share infrastructure for those? That's not dogfooding.
