Complex distributed systems in our industry are always in a degraded state of brokenness all the time. While we are comfortable with this decade-old statement about our infrastructures, the same could be said about a typical technical organization. This talk draws parallels between our systems and our orgs being in this degraded state. It also identifies ways in which each of us can return to our orgs in our roles with insight in how to improve this brokenness. Developing and shipping software for money in tech orgs is a social sport!
