Platform engineering may be getting more attention, but for many teams it still looks a lot like improvised theater instead of a disciplined operating model.

On this episode of Techstrong Gang, Alan Shimel, Mike Vizard, Mitch Ashley, Katie Scarcella, Robert Reeves and Garima Bajpai dig into the latest CNCF survey data, the growing concern around Google’s AI-powered answers, and Gallup’s sobering findings on how Gen Z is reacting to the AI era.

The conversation explores why “90% accurate” AI can still create massive downstream problems at scale, what Google’s publisher pivot could mean for the future of the web, and why younger audiences may be losing confidence in the promises surrounding artificial intelligence.

From platform engineering reality checks to AI trust and adoption challenges, this episode looks at what happens when industry hype runs ahead of operational readiness.
