Announcing the full Write-Only Code Summit lineup 🔥 If you're navigating what software development looks like when agents are doing the work, this is the room to be in. Save your spot: luma.com/write-only-cod…

Agentic development doesn't just shift how we write software, it reveals how much of our traditional process is obsolete. @davidcrawshaw will be at Write-Only Code Summit on May 7 to argue it's time for a change. 3 days out. Register: luma.com/write-only-cod…

Despite the accelerating influence of AI, there are errors that new startup founders make today on hiring and building HR culture. HR veteran Darlene Harper describes the mistakes she sees founders make and offers alternative approaches to prevent attrition and other painful HR problems. hubs.ly/Q04fknFm0

in SF this week for @heavybit's devguild, @daytonaio's ai builders showing off fp.dev extensions hit me up if you wanna talk liquid software, prop testing, jj, and software factories

If companies stop training early-career engineers, where will future senior engineers come from? Scott Hanselman (@shanselman) joins Joe Ruscio (@josephruscio) on High Leverage to discuss AI, preceptorship, and the software engineering talent pipeline. Tune in! hubs.ly/Q04dj33y0

6 days out. The Write-Only Code Summit lineup is set. Simon Willison, Charity Majors, Geoffrey Huntley, David Cramer, and more. May 7 in SF. LESS THAN 15 TIX LEFT → luma.com/write-only-cod…

Developer infrastructure trusted by millions. @sentry co-founder @zeeg joins Write-Only Code Summit on May 7 to discuss what it means to build for a world where agents are the new users. ONE WEEK AWAY: luma.com/write-only-cod…

On episode 54 of Generationship, @rachelchalmers sits down with Vishakha Gupta (@vishakha041) of @ApertureData to examine the intersection of AI, data infrastructure, and human memory. They explore how multimodal data, graph structures, and vector search must come together to support next-generation AI systems. Tune in! hubs.ly/Q04bL4Y30

On episode 36 of @opensourceready, Jesse Vincent shares how he built a methodology for managing AI coding agents through planning, subagents, and feedback loops. Tune if for this deep dive on the evolving landscape of developer tools and what software engineering might look like in the near future. hubs.ly/Q04cCDhg0

There's a flag in most agentic toolchains called --dangerously-skip-permissions. Ben Woskow of @LaunchDarkly joins us at Write-Only Code Summit on May 7 to make the case for why the guardrails aren't friction. They're the whole point. FEW TIX LEFT → luma.com/write-only-cod…

On episode 50 of The Kubelist Podcast, Marc Campbell (@marccampbell) and Benjie De Groot (@shipyardbuild) are joined by Ivan Burazin (@ivanburazin). They discuss how agents are changing the way we think about computers, why every agent needs its own environment, and how @daytonaio delivers millisecond spin-up times at scale. The episode also covers fundraising, infrastructure strategy, and the future of compute. Tune into @readkubelist! hubs.ly/Q04bwWsq0

What if the SDLC were treated as a capital allocation engine? @BuiltByJustin joins Write-Only Code Summit on May 7 to make the case. Digital twins. Thousands of simulations. Rapid-fire bets before anything ships. Almost sold out→ luma.com/write-only-cod…

Why “Third Loop”? In episode 3, the hosts explain how DevOps solved part of the problem, but left users out of the loop. They explore how software has expanded beyond technical audiences and why adoption, not deployment, is the real measure of success. Tune in! hubs.ly/Q04cg8hK0

On episode 11 of Data Renegades, CL Kao sits down with Michael Stonebraker, legendary database pioneer and creator of Ingres and Postgres. They explore the origins of modern relational databases, why specialized systems outperform one-size-fits-all platforms, and what today’s AI hype gets wrong about enterprise data. Tune in! hubs.ly/Q04dFRXl0

Episode 8 of High Leverage goes beyond “AI makes developers faster.” Joe Ruscio (@josephruscio) and Scott Hanselman (@shanselman) ask a harder question: how do we preserve human judgment when software creation becomes increasingly automated? Tune in! hubs.ly/Q04dj7480

Write-Only Code Summit is 13 days out. If you're building with agents in production or figuring out how to, the lineup on May 7 in SF is worth your time. Full agenda with the roundtable discussions you can participate in dropping soon. Few tickets left → luma.com/write-only-cod…

@adamweststack Looking forward to having you be part of the conversation

Heading to @heavybit's DevGuild: Write-Only Code Summit in SF on May 7th. The premise: we're moving toward a world where a growing percentage of production code is never read by a human. Not skimmed. Not reviewed. AI writes it, tests validate it, it ships.

This week's #DevToolsDigest includes news and resources from @stack72, @BekahHW, and more. heavybit.com/devtoolsdigest…

On episode 8 of High Leverage, Joe Ruscio (@josephruscio) sits down with Scott Hanselman (@shanselman) to examine whether AI will accelerate software engineering or hollow out the path to mastery. From learning modes in coding agents to Star Trek economics, they explore how technology can support both productivity and craftsmanship. Tune in! hubs.ly/Q04dj5S90

Open-source software was declared dead many times. Yet today it powers most databases, operating systems, and web browsers in the world. LLMs will not be different. hubs.ly/Q04dgj3G0
