I owe some advisory to be applied, because what I've provided so far was just three sentences like: stop selling DevEx, stop selling orchestrators, stop selling portals. So this is what I think we all should "sell" (internally) if we want to build Platforms.
It made a lot of discussions & valuable insights on LinkedIn, so I hope we will also search for some hints here 🙂

I guess we need to get new shirts made? #platformengineeringisdead😄
this article I wrote last year is about basically this exact issue. Companies not realising that PE is not just a rebrand of their current setup, and most of all - it isn’t just a technical shift

There is a misunderstanding overall, and there has been from the beginning about the extent to which platform engineering is about the cultural shift, and not the technical shift.
That’s how we get a deluge of companies just implementing Backstage and then patting themselves on that back that their doing platform engineering
