I work with this guy Bob, and he’s the best developer I’ve ever worked with. He’s like a code janitor, he sees a mess, quietly fixes it with test coverage, and submits a PR.
Finally, something for those of us that aren’t show-ers
As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:
1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales
Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.
A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:
- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2
Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

Looking for generative AI small business website builders for a small home pottery studio. I was underwhelmed with the Wix AI builder, I’m sure there are some new startups ready to eat their lunch. Any recommendations appreciated.
As someone that’s been away awhile, I have to say:
It’s a much more fun time building a software product with AI tooling. ⚡️

In our latest blog, we take a close look at two remarkable VLMs, and, using these models, we build a prototype “queryable Earth” functionality that allows retrieving images along with their geolocations using text queries over a large geographical area.

Have you heard of the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC)? STAC allows you to download multiple Landsat scenes/metadata from the cloud. There are two new STAC tutorials! Learn more about STAC and these tutorials here: ow.ly/Zrw550QH93N
I’m pretty sure my dream ticket at this point in my career is to set up CI/CD status lava lamps. Someday…..🥲

Standing room only! Nice work Brad!!
Packed house for Brad Andrick's comprehensive talk on large datasets visualizations and open-source rendering libraries and techniques #foss4gna
I’ve always appreciated when managers / tech leads / PMs participate in a technical conversation and end it with: “okay, I’ll do <specific work I can help with>, and you focus on the important stuff you need to fix”
Updating docs, setting reminders, follow-up comms, etc. 🙏
Cloudfront and Wordpress do not play nicely together in 2023. I’ve had to configure legacy settings / poor security to get basic content editing working. It feels like you need a PhD in both CDNs and Wordpress at times. My best advice is try bypassing the CDN and work backwards.
I would love an architecture diagram repo for hosting various flavors of self-hosted Wordpress on AWS in 2023 — headless, alb, bitnami vs self-hosted, best practices for caching content, static content in s3, patching, plug-in management, security, cost savings. IaC a bonus!
A huge addition to the ecosystem, specifically supporting legacy workflows getting started with @STACspec !
new repo🎉alert!
