5:45pm - What Super Mario Bros thought me about platform engineering - Ramiro Berrelleza @ Okteto

Join me for "What Super Mario Taught Me About Platform Engineering," where we explore the intriguing parallels between the iconic Super Mario franchise and the principles of Platform Engineering. Drawing from my experiences as a lifelong gamer and two decades of building platforms, this talk reveals how the success of Mario can inform our engineering practices. We’ll discuss themes like repeatable patterns, gradual complexity, and risk management, highlighting how Mario’s journey mirrors our challenges in engineering. Collaboration, community engagement, and a supportive environment are essential for success, just as they are in Mario’s adventures. By embracing these lessons, we can enhance our engineering processes and foster a more enjoyable work culture. Discover how the playful world of Mario can inspire our approach to Platform Engineering!
