I thought this was an interesting presentation by Adrian Cockcroft at Netflix.
I know a lot of people think "DevOps" is a dirty word but the way Adrian describes how it works at Netflix is really interesting. This seems to be the embodiment of the "get out of the engineer's way" approach. And its more of that "speed of iteration wins in the marketplace" mentality I've started to see in the past few years. I liked the OODA loop callout in the slides, too....seems like Adrian might actually know who John Boyd is.
What do my fellow soylenters think? Better to give a developer ownership of the entire lifecycle? Or better to have defined checkpoints and stakeholders to ensure quality and defect prevention/identification?

How about just deliver the minimum requirements in the first iteration : )
