Hello folks! 🎆

👋 Hey everyone. Engineering manager here focused on Payments and Core Platform at Zip Co. Invited here by @Isaac Perez and looking forward to meeting you all.

Hi everyone, and welcome to the Platform Coffee. The idea comes from a very successful CTO Coffee @Jeff Nappi run in the Rand Leadership Slack. I like it so much I wanted to do something similar with a focus on platform engineering. The rules are based on the Lean Coffee format, and we also use the Chatham House Rule. The idea is to meet once per month, bring topics to discuss and get thoughts from as many of you as possible. Thursday 9th of Feb will be the first one, @Giulia Guizzardiand myself will confirm the date next week. We will do rooms of 8-10 people to make it easy for everyone to participate. Looking forward to meeting you all 😄

Thanks to @Jeff Nappi, @Ash Kamel and @Shanelle Roman for joining today. We skipped the cards 🙊 , but had very good conversations about Service Maturity Models, local dev (tilt.dev), and complexity.
