The Architect

Design first. Automate second.

You know that automating chaos just makes faster chaos. Before anyone writes a line of automation, you map the information architecture, the process, and the team interfaces it has to live inside. You think in systems, silos offend you, and you have redrawn the three lines of defence more than once. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.
