@kentcdodds I think you are reaching a similar conclusion to us over @cloudflare. The engineer's role is shifting more towards product. We have been referring to this as "outcomes engineering". o16g.com

I’m excited to share that I’ve started a new role as Platform Engineer – Applied AI at @ZephyrCloudIO 🚀 I’ll be working at the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and developer experience, helping shape how we build, evaluate, and scale agentic workflows. I’m especially excited about what we’re building with Zephyr Agency: a new approach to working with AI agents. More coming soon 👀 Looking forward to sharing more about what I’m working on soon. Stay tuned.

Open source is dead. That’s not a statement we ever thought we’d make. @calcom was built on open source. It shaped our product, our community, and our growth. But the world has changed faster than our principles could keep up. AI has fundamentally altered the security landscape. What once required time, expertise, and intent can now be automated at scale. Code is no longer just read. It is scanned, mapped, and exploited. Near zero cost. In that world, transparency becomes exposure. Especially at scale. After a lot of deliberation, we’ve made the decision to close the core @calcom codebase. This is not a rejection of what open source gave us. It’s a response to what risks AI is making possible. We’re still supporting builders, releasing the core code under a new MIT-licensed open source project called cal. diy for hobbyists and tinkerers, but our priority now is simple: Protecting our customers and community at all costs. This may not be the most popular call. But we believe many companies will come to the same conclusion. My full explanation below ↓

I think it was @threepointone who recommended I listen to "The Design of Everyday Things". It's a fantastic book and I recommend it to anybody who cares about building great product's amzn.to/4m3XBmx
