  • Successful teams can suffer if they are too focused on infrastructure and tools rather than what customers need.
  • Internal developer platforms and technical aspects are necessary, but the value provided to other teams and the organization should be prioritized.
  • Platforms can block teams if too much is put into them, leading to delays and blaming between platform teams and product teams.
  • Product teams should not overly rely on platform teams for new services, as it may not be a priority for them.
  • Blaming between teams is detrimental and should be avoided.
