I’ve spent a bunch of time talking with Adrian Cockcroft, former cloud tzar at Neflix, and listening to his various talks and presentations. I’ve also spent a bunch of time looking around the various rooms within which he presents and seen the dazed look of attendees who have rightly assumed that just seen a picture of the way organizations should be. Netflix is unquestionably an exemplar for IT reinvented – where innovation, agility and developer enablement are natural parts of what they do. But then I’ve seen these new disciples of the “Netflix way” write a list of the technologies that Cockcroft detailed and attempt to shoehorn those same approaches into their own organization. All to often the result is disappointment, failed projects and a swing back to the traditional rigid ways of doing things. These thoughts struck me then I hear about this new masthead and its aim of creating a hub for DevLops thought leaders – surely giving IT practitioners a good place to find the latest tools…

I have also attended one of Adrian Cockcroft’s presentations and I gotta say that I was really impressed, not just with how he presented his speech but also he handles himself.
We follow him on his twitter and his tweets or retweets are very inspiring for people who focused on IT. In other words, Adrian Cockcroft inspired us so well, mainly the youths.
