EPISODE SUMMARY

Before you get obsessed with automation it's worth thinking a little about what you're doing to your systems. Do you even need automation yet? In my first ever episode I introduce some concepts to consider in your automations.

EPISODE NOTES

This was inspired by some discussions on The Business of Authority podcast around the 'Gravitational Pull of Systems' and how it can be hard not to jump straight into configuration.

Inspired me to start the podcast and also write a short blog on Brittle Systems.
