Mac Chaffee*, a platform engineer and security champion, examines why developers often underestimate the complexity of running modern applications and how *overconfidence leads to expensive technical mistakes.

You will learn:

Why teams reject Kubernetes then rebuild it piece by piece - understanding the psychological factors, like overconfidence, that drive initial rejection of complex but proven tools
How to identify the tipping point when DIY solutions become more complex than adopting established orchestration tools*, especially around scaling and *high availability challenges
The right approach to abstracting Kubernetes complexity - why hiding the Kubernetes API often backfires and how to build effective guardrails instead of reinventing interfaces
Why mentorship gaps lead to poor technical decisions - how the lack of proper apprenticeship programs in tech results in teams making expensive mistakes when building infrastructure
