On-Premise: How IT Companies Don’t Get Devs

September 24, 2022

In a recent episode of the Gestalt IT On-Premise IT Roundtable Podcast, “IT Infrastructure Companies Don’t Understand Developers,” Calvin Hendryx-Parker (Six Feet Up’s CTO and AWS Community Hero) joins moderator Stephen Foskett (Publisher for Gestalt IT) as well as panelists Joep Piscaer (independent tech industry analyst), and Nathan Bennett (Cloud Architect for Sterling Computers) to discuss the thinking behind enterprise IT companies marketing products and why they have an uphill climb selling to developers.

The panelists noted that part of the issue may be the distinction between developer and operations roles, and how products marketed for developers are really more geared toward operations.

"Most developers, if you’re serious about your craft, you know what you’re doing.
