Dr. Kate Holterhoff

Thanks for having me on the show, @vmelnikova_en! Love an excuse to talk devtools.

@mhartington @jetbrains @TasonJorres @wordmandotdev Congrats!! That’s wonderful news.

New work swag has arrived! Thrilled to share I've joined @jetbrains! Bringing the decade+ experience I have in devrel to a place where developers matter most. Joining the amazing crew of @TasonJorres, @wordmandotdev and others.

Chatted with Balaji Sivasubramanian, Senior Director, Product Management, Agentic AI Developer Platform at @RedHat, about internal developer portals in our agentic era for the latest episode of @redmonk's MonkCast. Hear our full conversation redmonk.com/videos/balaji-…

Fable 5 access is extended through Sunday @claudeai

Chatted with @saltnburnem, Sr. Dev Advocate @TuxCare_, for this @redmonk MonkCast. We discuss patching, #oss, & #security from typosquatting to Shai-Hulud to getting locked out of his own VS Code editor at #Vueconf26. Full episode 👉 redmonk.com/videos/chris-d…

the #curl project's "first ever CVE dispute since we became a CNA... The reporter thinks we should have assigned their reported problem a CVE but we think not. Now they want to force the issue" @bagder daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/06/2…

Look at this panel of legends at #config : Catt Small, @designertom, Matt D. Smith, @rsms

AI design behavior shift in the data - design and development are happening in parallel. Roles are blurring. It is introducing new friction, communication and knowledge gaps. #config #configLC

Hear @jherr walk me through @tan_stack’s npm Mini Shai-Hulud Compromise. We discuss why developers are becoming more security aware & why the supply chain and CI/CD is more important than ever in the #AI era. redmonk.com/videos/jack-he…

Interested in hearing the story behind @voidzerodev joining @Cloudflare? So was I! Luckily @evanyou, Founder & CEO of VoidZero, creator of @vuejs & @vite_js, & now part of the open source team at Cloudflare, joined me on @redmonk's MonkCast to discuss. 👉 redmonk.com/videos/evan-yo…

we've been watching the appetite for abstractions that sit above cloud primitives grow. interesting: they eschewed general purpose in favor of specialization. more interesting: they're now becoming less specialized and more general purpose. redmonk.com/sogrady/2026/0…

I’ll be talking to @KateHolterhoff and you can watch us chat about Agentic AI and share thoughts around how software teams work in this brave new world. Register. It’s free. 23 June 2026 at 13:30 GMT-4 #RedMonk #IBM ibm.com/forms/mkt-webi… @IBM

Me finally taking the time to learn DaVinci Resolve

Hear @monkchips & @KateHolterhoff's quick take on #MSBuild 2026, live at Fort Mason. Their first impression: @Microsoft aimed the event squarely at developers, borrowing a lot from @github's playbook. The keynote ran 2+hrs & packed in plenty. redmonk.com/videos/qt-micr…

@mitchellh @TheNoamLewis @ladybirdbrowser @steveruizok @tldraw @redmonk @monkchips Be still my academic heart. We've somehow wandered into Aristotle's distinction between potentiality (dunamis) and actuality (entelecheia) or activity (energeia).

I should clarify: with vouch. Others are trying with other mechanisms. But I haven’t seen any take hold there either yet. I don’t think they will though. I think more realistically it’s a mix of platform filtering (eg account cooldowns and rate limiting) and just closed contribs in general (not targeted at individuals)

New section added to The Generative AI Policy Landscape in Open Source! oss-ai-policies.netlify.app If you haven't visited lately, the project is up to 88 orgs 😱, which is remarkable in its own right, 1/3

@TheNoamLewis @mitchellh @ladybirdbrowser @steveruizok @tldraw @redmonk @monkchips Agreed. @techgirl1908 wrote up a really good piece about this if you haven't seen it. This was pre-@ladybirdbrowser announcement: angiejones.tech/stop-closing-t…

@mitchellh @KateHolterhoff @ladybirdbrowser @steveruizok @tldraw @redmonk @monkchips But having other people engage with my project at the level of actually trying to improve it themselves adds another benefit beyond "coding efficiency". So I'm not sure.

@TheNoamLewis @ladybirdbrowser @mitchellh @steveruizok @tldraw @redmonk @monkchips Oof. Didn’t realize that’s how it worked.

@KateHolterhoff @ladybirdbrowser @mitchellh @steveruizok @tldraw @redmonk @monkchips Yes

@TheNoamLewis @ladybirdbrowser @mitchellh @steveruizok @tldraw @redmonk @monkchips Was that Mitchell's Vouch? github.com/mitchellh/vouch

@KateHolterhoff @ladybirdbrowser @mitchellh @steveruizok @tldraw @redmonk @monkchips Ghostty are taking it a step further, if I got this right, by sharing lists of "denounced" users and encouraging others to propagate the denouncement further. This part makes me uncomfortable

Hear @monkchips & I discuss what we're seeing around models at #MSBuild 2026 in Fort Mason. Come for @Microsoft's 7 MAI models, and stay for the Mythic Quest (Ian Grimm, IYKYK) Aion models. Full conversation on @redmonk 👉 redmonk.com/videos/qt-micr…

The project now identifies #oss in which direct public PR/MR pathway are now locked down or gated. redmonk.com/kholterhoff/20… As ever, feel free to kick my way any projects I've missed so that I can add them to the list. 3/3

but with recent news that @ladybirdbrowser has joined @mitchellh's Ghostty & @steveruizok's @tldraw in limiting external contributions, it officially qualifies as a Tech Trend™️ quorum by @redmonk's reckoning (thanks @monkchips), so I added a new column to the list. 2/3
