When making a mistake or failure, people have learned from that failure. If they weren't allowed to make it in the first place, they wouldn't have had those learnings. Can you think of such an example? Ye, of course, i have such an example. In order to move fast, we said, we have already an application in place which we're using, servicite rendering. But that was an old technology. And we said, ok, we can use that, but the user experience will not be that good. We failed very hard. This is also a culture shift.

Episode notes
This week Gerhard is chatting with Romano Roth, Head of DevOps at Zühlke, a company founded by Gerhard Zühlke in 1968. Nowadays they help companies all over the world build, ship and run anything from factory robots, to AI assistants in complex regulatory environments, and even medical devices that perform autonomous robotic surgery.
When Romano is not leading a team of 30 software engineers that specialise in operations, infrastructure and cloud, he is one of the organisers of DevOps Days Zürich, and also the DevOps Meetup group, which is how Gerhard and Romano met in 2019.
Having started his career as a .Net developer back in 2002, Romano had his fair share of dev and ops challenges, and he always enjoys seeing real business value delivered continuously in an automated way. In recent years, Romano’s perspective broadened, and now he sees DevOps realities across many companies. If you are curious about what good DevOps looks like, and what are the real challenges, then Romano has some good insights for you.
