Four things I learnt about DevOps when my car was engulfed by flames

This is the story of the things I learnt when my car caught fire while driving through a less-than-salubrious area of Bristol one sunny afternoon. The whole experience lasted just half an hour and yet it was rich in learning, with uncanny parallels to the challenges we face encouraging DevOps in organisations.
