๐งต What Big Bโs ABCL failure teaches us about a DevOps career
ABCL tried to do everything at once - movies, TV, music, events, distribution & celebrity management.
Big ambition.
Weak foundations.
And thatโs surprisingly relevant to a DevOps career. ๐

Absolute operational failure by @Lufthansa. Keeping passengers trapped on a plane for over 3 hours after a massive delay and diversion, then leaving them stranded without transport at 3 PM? Pathetic customer care. Do better. ๐ @Lufthansa_India
@lufthansa@Lufthansa_India Whatโs happening with LH755 BLRโBEG via FRA?
Reached BLR at 12 AM. Flight delayed 3.5 hrs, diverted to Mumbai, landed ~9 AM. Passengers kept onboard till 12:15 PM, then stranded with no clear updates. Hotels offered, but no transport even at 3 PM.

Your DevOps career is a production system.
Build strong foundations.
Reduce complexity.
Automate wisely.
Remove SPOFs.
Measure impact.
Scale when ready.
Donโt build an ABCL-sized career on startup-grade foundations. ๐

9/ The real lesson
Donโt ask:
โHow many technologies can I learn?โ
Ask:
โHow much complexity can I reliably manage?โ
Thatโs the journey from Engineer โ Senior โ Staff โ Principal.
MCP + Claude can be safe but treat every MCP server as untrusted code: verify the source, review permissions, use least privilege, and never give it access to secrets it doesnโt need. ๐
