A Practical Guide To Inner Sourcing Your IDP - Lian Li, lianmakesthings

Monday March 23, 2026 13:20 - 13:45
CET

Bridging the gap between developers and platform teams is hard.
Scattered documentation, fragmented language and hidden knowledge leave developers frustrated, while platform teams struggle to understand what devs really need. Treating platforms as products is a start, but treating them like open source projects unlocks real collaboration, allowing developers to contribute and maintain features.
In my roles as Developer Advocate and platform engineer, I have years of experience working with highly bureaucratic organisations helping to improve developer experience and adoption.
In this talk, I’ll share concrete steps to identify contribution opportunities, set up maintainable processes, and measure engagement. You’ll leave inspired with ideas to boost adoption, reduce friction, and turn your platform into a collaborative, thriving ecosystem.

So excited to be speaking at Platform Engineering Day in Amsterdam πŸš€

The work that I'm doing is the culmination of my work and everything I've learned as Cloud Native consultant, DevRel and Platform Engineer for the past decade.

And I cannot wait to share it with all of you ✨

"They run experiments and describe their findings in narrowly focused documents. They do not outline sinister plans for human exploitation and regulatory evasion in writing."

Clearly, @caseynewton.bsky.social hasn't read a lot of enterprise code.

There is such a thing as 'settled science' β€” anyone who says otherwise is trying to manipulate you How bad-faith arguments sow doubt by weaponizing scientific humility.

Science evolves, but consensus matters.

Don’t confuse openness to revision with carte blanche for misinformation.

Settled science exists - and it matters for policy and public trust.

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly HayesΒ In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

It's Safer in the Front Faced with intensifying repression and state violence, there is an understandable inclination to seek safety by avoiding confrontation. But this is not always the most effective strategy.

The administration is not powerful enough to crack down on all opposition to fascism. In all likelihood, this is chiefly a performative measure intended to intimidate people.

It will only be possible to impose fascist control on this society as a whole if people stop resisting. Keep fighting. 🏴

Their bad-faith game of denial is destroying our ability to respond to the collapse of civil society. They behave constantly in ways that actively destabilize our institutions and endanger our peace, and then, when the worst happens, affect mock outrage anyone would see their transparent motive.

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk's work.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
