Is there life after DevOps?

In this video, I unpack why the cloud often slows your velocity, even though we're told the opposite. The promise is always speed and simplicity, but the lived experience is usually layers of configuration, infrastructure wiring, IAM policies, and CI/CD friction before your software even gets room to breathe.

The core point is that modern DevOps tooling still carries a lot of legacy operational thinking. We recreated physical infrastructure patterns in software, then handed that complexity to developers and called it progress.

I also share what a better path could look like: a data-first runtime model with strongly typed, composable stream I/O, capability-based security, and isolated WebAssembly execution. That is exactly the direction we're taking with Selium.
