Perhaps its its a guide on what not to do?

As another former Atlassian engineer I'd say kinda yes and kinda no depending on which bits you're looking at.

One important thing a person could learn is: use existing platforms. Do not build a proprietary version of something like kubernetes. The weird internal eventing systems and fake janky kubernetes junk gave me headaches.

One time I was at a place where we got a local ISP to build us a cloud virtualisation service at a discount (i.e. we were the guinea pig), but of course it was terrible and took ages to provision anything - so when someone in Platform stood up a Rancher cluster all of the devs immediately switched to using that.
