The three pillars of the PAM stack are: process, abstractions, and mentorship. They represent the different ways that teams can make simple changes to have a dramatic impact on the success of their developers and on the inclusion of junior developers.
Process doesn't have to be a burden. Process is all about defining our expectations of ourselves and our teammates, measure the effects of of our work, and then iterating on those expectations. The keys to process are to: plan, train, execute, measure, and review.
