In 2003 hbr published an article that said IT doesn't matter. In 2009 Flickr demonstrated the opposite. @nicolefv has the research now showing DevOps investment makes business performant #velocityconf
Our intuition told us this was true and now we have the data to back it up. #VelocityConf
High performers are 96x more effective at responding to incidents #VelocityConf
It investment makes a business more likely to succeed, and more likely to cope with governance and regulation. #velocityconf
I'm shocked to learn that maturity models don't work! #velocityconf [maybe mine are too dynamic]
Ah maturity models tell us when to stop investment in something. #velocityconf
Architecture matters, technology doesn't. #velocityconf no correlation between technology (mainframes) and performance
It's more about the communication and coordination with other people #velocityconf
I had a talk proposal about this; config *is* code, this should come as no surprise to people using config management with the mantra "configuration as code". Surprise, the UTM theorem informs us that it is in fact code.

Your config changes the behaviour of your program -- it's a very stunted interpreter. The YAML or .ini or plain text you give is just a really bad programming language -- I want to say they're type 2 or 3 on the chomsky hierarchy but my knowledge here is weak.
They're also terrible because while your program is written in a language with a compiler that has error messages, linting, formatters, step debugging tools, your config typically does not. YAML isn't even formally defined!
