In this disarming talk, industry veteran [David Pollak](https://twitter.com/dpp) sums up everything he has learned about a better way of building software with better community outcomes. Simplicity and convenience win. Documentation wins. Functionality is a means to an end not the end in itself. We really love this talk, which goes into design and architectural decisions, but also really nails crucial human factors. [Funcatron](https://funcatron.org/) is a serverless platform which supports Mesosphere, Docker Swarm and Kubernetes. Dave wants to help enterprise developers use the new hipster stacks.
