About Skeptikal Techie
I’m Leo. Aka Skeptikal Techie. I don’t do hype. Or vision boards. I do tech. Without the BS. I’ve been in this industry since before Youtube existed.
That doesn’t make me a dinosaur. It makes me someone who’s watched three decades of buzzwords ride in, set fire to logic, and leave quietly via acquisition. I’ve sat through stand-ups that achieved absolutely nothing. I’ve seen “disruptive” tools that were just spreadsheets with better fonts. And I’ve survived more rebrands than I care to admit. Yes. I do like tech. What I don’t like is the cult around it. The jargon. The fluff. That’s why I run Skeptikal Techie. A channel where we say the quiet parts out loud.

DevOps is no longer with us. Buried with honour, YAML, and a broken CI pipeline in a shallow, unattended grave.
In this episode, we discuss the quiet, awkward truth behind Platform Engineering… the evolution that feels suspiciously like an apology.
Because when developers were forced to own production, we called it empowerment. Now they’re burnt out, ops is hiding, and someone’s decided the solution… is another team.
Expect: A funeral A Cold brew A Slightly traumatised infrastructure And the phrase “golden path” used more sarcastically than ever before
If you’ve ever:
Had Jenkins break at 2am
Faked understanding a HELM chart
Or built an internal platform just to stop devs from rebooting prod via Slack…
This one’s for you. Watch it, like it and please rage over in the comments.
Don’t forget – every little subscribe helps too! Cheers!
