 Drawing a comparison between my past and current professions. Looking at stages of baking in preparing, mixing, baking, and selling while comparing to DevOps stages of planning, building, deploying, and feedback. An analogy between the process of production baking and the philosophy of collaboration for shipping software.

 In an age where data breaches and unauthorized access are constant threats, safeguarding sensitive information is vital for organizations. With its robust security features, PostgreSQL offers a powerful toolset unmatched by any other commercial or open-source database. However, this extraordinary flexibility often feels overwhelming and turns permission management into a complicated task that is difficult to automate. Unsure of how to proceed, application developers resort to isolating data using a separate Postgres instance for each new project, thereby increasing the overall costs.

 Large language models (LLMs) and generative AI tools are more accessible than ever—but do you really want to send all your data to the cloud? In this talk, we’ll explore how to **build your own private AI assistant**, running entirely on **open-source software and self-hosted hardware**.

 Observability is a critical aspect of any infrastructure as it enables teams to identify and address issues promptly. Nevertheless, achieving system observability comes with its own set of challenges. It is a time- and resource-intensive process as it necessitates the incorporation of instrumentation into every application.

 Siloes and boundaries are natural and useful; they constrain the problem space, make it possible to reason in the face of overwhelming complexity, and give space for ideas and people that don't fit within the majority. However, those boundaries can also become so deeply entrenched and solid that they become counterproductive (thus, DevOps) - and yet the cycle repeats itself, where "DevOps Engineer" becomes a new way to say "infrastructure engineer" in many companies, someone who is holed away creating the platonic ideal of a well-managed Kubernetes cluster.

 If you're like most innovation teams, you're obsessed with speed. You manage by principles, values, four adjectives (RACI), and an infinite number of verbs in your project plan. You drive your team with meetings and email. Documentation is mostly a CYA and you will soon delegate a lot of documentation to AI. Your idea of agility is the frequency of go-live events. Your culture is a communication traffic jam, you surrender to VUCA and leave behind a vague library of meeting minutes. It's a culture of low discipline and low empathy.

 DevOps is more than a technology initiative; it's a change initiative - and far too often, these stall inside large organizations. Good intentions up front are lost among deadline pressure, competing priorities or simple resistance to change. How can you recapture momentum and encourage continuous improvement?
