Finished the TCS Amsterdam Marathon 2026! 🏅 So proud I got to take part, and even prouder to cross the line in under 4 hours. 42.2 km of sweat, rain and an amazing crowd. Thank you, Amsterdam! 🇳🇱 #AmsterdamMarathon #Sub4 #Marathon

Absolutely, come talk to us. Just a few weeks to go. xitter.cf/pagerduty/status/21099…
AI and automation are rewriting the operations playbook with PagerDuty and @AWScloud. Swing by booth #1280 at #AWSreInvent to explore our full suite of AWS integrations and see everything happening at the booth. Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/4jHBL99

Assessing AI SRE agents with a benchmark improves the insights between apples and pears. xitter.cf/pagerduty/status/21107…
Building an SRE agent is easy. Proving it works is hard. Our AI team explains how we built our own benchmark harness to test AI SRE agents fairly. Results show why our specialized SRE Agent is a better option versus using more generic AI tools. Read the full report ➡️ bit.ly/4jlQHdd

Events like #SREcon aren't just for showing off technology. They're about sharing and learning. This week in Dublin I spent time with experts, leaders and thought leaders from across EMEA and the US. Every hallway chat taught me something. Honestly, it's the best "university" in our field. 🎓 #SRE #AIOps

At SREcon Dublin this week, SREs kept asking me: "What actually happens to our data once it hits PagerDuty?" So I built this 30-sec visual: from noisy alerts to clean services, AI context, and automated or human resolution. 👇 #SREcon #SRE #AIOps

Thank you Dublin, loved you, day and night!!

Event time with the PagerDuty team in Dublin during SRECon, clearly, it's quality over quantity: leaders in the market sharing thoughts and ideas. For us, an ideal moment to represent the latest and the greatest of the #PagerDuty platform

Never realized, but now with Grok, you can extend your videos, and you can keep on doing it. Love that, truly.

Filled up in Indonesia. Pertamax: about €0.80 a litre. Back home, Euro95 is €2.70. With the war, fuel was supposed to get more expensive in Asia. Clearly it hasn't. About 70% cheaper here, and diesel is 54% cheaper. #nocomments

Without judging or giving a personal political statement, it was kind of funny to speak to an American during my PTO who, in his first sentence, said, "Yes, I'm an American, and I apologize." Later on, he explained he apologized for his president's behavior.

Even though during my PTO I truly enjoyed speaking to my Japanese colleagues at #PagerDuty to tell them all about AI and automation (both for work-related use cases as well as private). #enablement

I can’t unsee this coincidence, it’s a bit stuck in my brain. Gargantua in Interstellar (2014) → the Grok logo. Especially what happens after actor crosses the black hole: he enters a higher-dimensional reality where time becomes something he can perceive and navigate — almost an all-knowing perspective across time. @elonmusk just a coincidence? Or looking for that state of mind? A fascinating one. 👀

Happy with how my local demo setup came together. PagerDuty on Kubernetes, end to end, and it works flawlessly.

If humanoid robots arrive, every car becomes a "self-driving" car. Even a 1960 convertible. The robot sits in the driver's seat and drives it. No new car. No software update. No Level 5 certificate. The intelligence just walks over and gets in.

Don't put the AI in the car. Put it in a humanoid's brain. Then the car is only a chassis — and the robot walks away with the product.

Toyota is talking about ~400,000 factory robots from 2028, including its wheeled humanoid Eli. ChatGPT moments get the headlines. Factory floors get the future.

Automakers mass-producing humanoids was always coming. Scale was never the mystery. The jolt is watching robotics jump from research talk to something you can order by the pallet.
