Why John Willis (Botchagalupe) should teach this

AI is changing how work gets done—but in delivery systems, speed without governance can lead to chaos. John Willis has spent decades helping orgs improve flow without breaking reliability and security.

  • Co-author of The DevOps Handbook — foundational work on modern delivery, reliability, and operating models.
  • Rebels of Reason book on AI — focused on how AI changes delivery and operations, and what responsible adoption actually looks like in real systems.

Known for translating “big ideas” into practical, opinionated patterns teams can apply immediately—without vendor hype.
