1/ After years of Infrastructure-as-Code religion, we have almost closed the loop: we are finally realizing that SOME people prefer to approach #automation via #IaC, while OTHERS prefer to use UIs. And so we are restarting to see long-forgotten workflow automation designers.

2/ However, creating an interface with 200 forms and drop-downs to match 1:1 the syntax of the #automation language is not a healthy approach to workflow automation design. You barely decrease the complexity of #IaC, and, of course, the latter is more efficient.

4/ And even when the UI is done right, slapping one on top of an #automation engine is NOT low-code/no-code.

@MatjazMarussig Sadly, there’s no #NoOps. There never was in over 10 years. And it’s very likely there won’t be one for much more time.

There are only massively inflated expectations that slow down a more pragmatic adoption of #automation.

Maybe it’s time to let go?

I spent countless hours, for years, countering the notion that #automation takes away jobs. If anything, it increases opportunities and boosts careers. Most recently in the Financial Times. I’m glad to see @TheEconomist publishing a different perspective: https://t.co/LK7zqE6beH

When I say that this is the decade of #Automation, I really mean it. Automation has started powering every other technology and solution. Even the “smart contracts” in the #web3 universe are nothing but conditional automation.

You really can’t help but see the trend.

Fascinating that almost nobody in the IT industry is taking the opportunity to set up Twitter Spaces for hot topics like #AI or #Automation or #Cybersecurity. All I see is an endless flow of NFT spaces where there are a lot of opinions from people that hope to get rich quickly.

Hot things you can pretend you’re an expert about for 2022:

#AI
#Blockchain / #Crypto / #NFTs / #web3
#SpaceTech
#Automation / #lowcode

Not audacious enough? No prob. There still are evergreens like:

#cybersec
#edge / #IoT
#cloud

Or all of them! I mean, who’s gonna stop you?

Last working week of 2021 for me and extremely busy preparing for multiple #automation and #cybersecurity events. Tomorrow, a #CIO roundtable with @CIONET. In Q1, keynotes for Red Hat Forum Connect and CyberSec Europe (both in Belgium).

Topic? Security orchestration, of course.
