I think we can work much more effectively with ops a core part of the development process.<p>If you spend weeks&#x2F;months building an app and then launch it and find nobody wanted it then you&#x27;ve just wasted a lot of time and effort.<p>If you spend weeks&#x2F;months building an app and then discover you can&#x27;t deploy it in the way you planned because of an operational detail, you&#x27;re going to incur a lot of rework.<p>How long is it going to take you to get your app into production?<p>If you start right from getting your hello world webapp into  a production operations environment, then iterate until you have something you can start testing with users you won&#x27;t have any of these problems.<p>You will however, have to start considering operations from the start. There&#x27;s a lot less waste, it&#x27;s lower risk, but you can&#x27;t ignore operational concerns as someone else&#x27;s problem.
