Ask ten engineers what a "platform" or "platform engineering" is, and you'll likely get ten different answers. Crucially, most of those answers will focus solely on the tech stack, not on how people interact with the platform. This trend needs to change. Otherwise, we risk disgruntled platform engineers frustrated by how their platforms are used, platform users who see technology adoption as a burden, and leaders who question the value of investing in an internal platform at all.
