About The Platform Engineer
The Platform Engineer is calm under pressure and suspicious of abstractions that hide cost, permissions, or blast radius. He can over-engineer reliability, but he is also frequently the adult who prevents an unsafe release. His humor arrives when telemetry appears immediately after the incident creates the signal the dashboard was missing.
