Ms. Anderson has been rattling this cage for a long time. She does these rounds semi-regularly with the most recent being a largely ignored treatise on how White Rage (the actual title) won Trump's election.

White Rage was well received but only within it's own echo chambers.
If the governorship of Georgia turns blue this year it will be in spite of this, because candidates like Stacey Abrams appeal positively to blue-collar workers, low income voters, women, and blacks. She's done a pretty good job of avoiding that rhetoric so far.
I think it takes a bit more time to cultivate lessons learned from the past decade. There were things that made sense to do ten years ago, but twenty years, thirty years, forty years (or more) on it becomes more obvious of the validity of the choices made.
Those use cases weren't super-specific. IoT sensor data gathering can be accomplished in many, many ways using a Kafka platform. I've done enough operations work to see that this would mean nothing to me (as it stands). I well laid out use case explaining what it means to developers and ops would help your case. Good luck!

"Clean your room" is an internalization: how can you judge or even change the world if your room (your life) is a mess? The point is to fix yourself first, then start taking on the world. And do it all in small steps.

You don't feel any sort of pride after getting yourself in order? Are you sure you have yourself in order?
