I understand it deeper than you think.even maybe deeper then author think he does.
The only singals that matter i already mentioned. Everything else must submit to this ultimate goal. If that’s the case there is no reason to invent anything even metaphorically speaking. And platform requirements arise naturally to exact extent the user problem justifies, not more not less etc.
This is probably a fundamental philosophical division between “engineers” who love to engineer for the sake of engineering, who are arrogant enough to treat their trade as an art form even.
And between mere mortals, regular engineers, who are hungry for solving real world problems as efficiently and quickly as possible.
Instead of figuring out the mess and navigating the peculiarities of another “platform team” in a big org.
