In this episode, we talk to Daniel Bojczuk, Cloud Engineer at Jumbo and passionate DevOps advocate. With 20+ years of experience in software engineering—from Brazil to the Netherlands—Daniel shares why so many companies still get DevOps wrong.

We cover:

  • What DevOps is and isn't – including the difference between a mindset and a job title
  • Why teams often forget the "why" of DevOps and end up building the wrong tools
  • The danger of choosing Kubernetes just because it’s trendy
  • How lack of collaboration leads to building walls instead of bridges
  • Why platform teams should enable, not restrict, developers
  • And how to avoid killing innovation by over-controlling your teams

With his engaging storytelling and sharp analogies (like toddlers sticking fingers in sockets), Daniel delivers a fun and insightful deep dive into the human side of DevOps.
