DevOpsDays Amsterdam 2025

Robin Gilijamse

Robin is a Network Architect working with organizations to improve their network operations. This includes not only implementing shiny new and innovative technology, but more importantly also leveling up the team by improving operational processes and increasing skill levels. This means showing rather than telling the right way forward, and also talking about all the mistakes he made to help others avoid those.

When he’s not behind a computer, you might find Robin riding his bicycle through the Veluwe forests, or engaged in mock sword fights.

What we can lea(r)n from Marie Kondo
Robin Gilijamse

Lean. It's been a buzzword since the '90s, and it's right in the middle of CALMS, the basic tenets of DevOps. At DevOpsDays we are Sharing plenty of discussions on Culture, and more than one sponsor can help you Measure your Automations. But sometimes I get the feeling that our interest in Lean starts and stops at having a KanBan board to track our work.

But is there more to gain from ruthlessly eliminating waste in our life? And what can we learn from Marie Kondo, the master of minimalism? Let's organize our desks, find out which of these agile ritual meetings actually spark joy, and discover the amazing benefits of not doing things.
