When you work in SV its really common to ask a question on an internal company mailing list and get a reply from the developer contributing that feature to the kernel / filesystem / DB

It was a bit unnerving the first time it happened but you have access to so many people like that and you are around it daily.

You constantly find out about new things from your buddy over at the other company who tells you about something they are working on that is a completely new product.

Not to mention when something hits mainstream outside SV its aging in SV and soon will likely be obsolete

Example you might not know this but k8s is googles borg lite and everyone who has been around the valley has ran into someone who worked on it for years.

You simply don't have that experience outside SV...Not to mention things considered common knowledge in SV isnt common outside... eg I still have to explain to people why ITIL doesnt work with Agile DevOps ever since I left.

Do you have any interesting reading on this subject? I'd like to get some material for my heavily ITIL-aligned shop.

Terraform has some good presentations on it.

At least the conference they had presented this material. I might have it saved somewhere and will look around and reply if I remember
