We're about to see a big shift in SDLC approach to software. The shift from waterfall => agile as a previous evolution was built around the constraints of humans in writing software. Now we will see another evolution to embrace the strengths/limitations of AI, LLMs and agents.

It's common for developers to get to clarity by writing code first. Now with AI that can change. We can speak to the codebase and ask questions of it. These shifts fundamentally require us to re-wire our brains in how we think about problem solving with these tools.

Contrasting Brian Chesky interviews to Bezos just feel completely night and day in terms of the amount of true, novel and hard-won leadership insights.
Replying to @mipsytipsy
I’ve tried to understand Cheskys POV. Many of the ‘revelations’ read like preexisting good practice to me. The premise seems stacked on strawman like: “we’ve been told to manage by letting people run loose” (?) That I’ve never seen anyone suggest (in such extreme terms).

I actually learned a bunch of services reading this... Don't agree with CDK and CloudFormation. AWS Proton did have me excited in the early days on the vision. Any here that surprise you? Any that you'd add? 😱 justingarrison.com/blog/2024… - @rothgar

An Andrew Brown superpower is definitely in quickly making taxonomies over a new problem space in a ridiculously short amounts of time.
We're in pre-pre-pre days here. I do have a working Lucid Chart, and consulting a few AI folks, I will be opening this up as per usual.

Damn, ChatGPT nailed this one. Google totally failed me on this, too. ChatGPT is now useful for questions I used to crowdsource on social media, sweet!

What's with all the dead space? It just looks broken now. Why is the title and all the actions on the right? I can kinda understand the purpose of moving comments, but all the other stuff makes no sense. Then there's just the big blank space at the bottom...

Whilst I don't fully agree with the solution, this mission statement for the score spec does really speaks to a very real and challenging pain in the K8s ecosystem. score.dev/why-score

Love this quote from the Heroku CNCF announcement article. Very rarely anymore is a Dockerfile the single unit of an application. You need to integration test across multiple and all the configuration in between. blog.heroku.com/heroku-joins…

Love it. Now if only the cloud providers would make it simpler and less scary on their side we might see greater adoption. Almost feels like secret hygiene is on everyone’s radar but very few actually implement it consistently.

What's the solution? Well... as always "it depends". If you want to hear more about Kubernetes developer experience, with @gitpod and @paw_lean I'm doing a webinar on the 15th, if you'd like to come join us ! gitpod.io/webinars/adopt-kub…
