New Blog Post! The Citizen Developer
Read here
Resource types become versioned OCI artifacts, connections carry version ranges, and deployment approvals get separation of duty.
Half your company is already routing around IT. The citizen developer has been around since Lotus 1-2-3, and guardrails are the only control ops has left.
Identity-based permissions break self-service. We tolerated it for twenty years because the breakage was slow. Agents remove that buffer entirely.
Version 1.3.0 of the Massdriver Platform featuring SCIM 2.0, Integrations Console, and Claude Code Plugin.
Version 1.2.0 of the Massdriver Platform.
Infra changes ship faster when Day-2 stops being a guessing game — this release makes that real.
It’s a Symptom of Platform Design, Not Developer Behavior.
Most Infrastructure as Code implementations expose too much complexity, forcing developers to make infrastructure decisions they shouldn’t have to. This post explores why generic IaC modules fail, how to design abstractions that encode organizational standards while intentionally omitting irrelevant configurations, and how to shift ops from gatekeeping to enablement.
GitOps isn’t the right fit for modern Ops, DevOps, or platform engineering. Learn why static workflows fail to address dynamic cloud complexity and explore better tools for managing real-time infrastructure.
Operations engineering is stuck in the past. This post breaks down why ops hasn’t had the same revolution as software development, explores the limits of DevOps, and argues for scaling expertise through reusable tools and clean abstractions. It’s time for ops to adopt lessons from software engineering and move the industry forward.
