No developer tool is an island. Vertical integration among the editor, source repo, build system, CI/CD platform, runtimes, and support systems is important. But it's hard to achieve, as Rebecca explains here: becca.ooo/blog/vertical-…

Ok real talk here One really bad thing about building agent systems with Claude Code or whatever... Games aren't fun anymore. I used to love playing a bit of Diablo IV every once in a while And now it just doesn't compare to building

"[AI agents] are threatening to break the blood-brain barrier between the application layer and the OS layer." Signal President Meredith Whittaker (@mer__edith) warns of "real danger" in agentic AI hype. To be "magic genie bots" (concert booking etc.), they need root access to all your data: browser, cards, messages. Cloud-processed & unencrypted: "privacy & security guarantees" at profound risk.

Here are my top five takeaways from the #QConLondon "Platforms, People & Process; Delivering Great Developer Experiences" track! 🚀 - Be intentional about creating a "Thinnest Viable Platform (TVP)." As @solidtubez repeatedly said, treat your platform as a product and balance the earning and spending of "trust credits" with your development teams. 🏗 - Balance standardisation and autonomy as the platform matures. Communicate and share technology choices, code libraries, and practices widely. Jemma Hussein Allen suggested using Tech Radars and Innersource 🗺 - You can't "shift left" everything without having a platform that supports and enables developers to deal with the increase in cognitive load. @aviranm showed us the gold standard for this with a case study from Wix 🧠 - Measure platform adoption rates, business impact, and developer experience. Ana Petkovska provided a fantastic overview of the journey her platform team took to reduce the number of developer support tickets 🎯 - "Developer experience creates experienced developers." This quote from @andyburgin will stick with me. He showed the value of devex and engineering enablement and highlighted the need to continually evolve your efforts as the teams grow and mature 👨‍🏫 It was a genuine privilege to be able to host the track, and I want to thank all of the speakers, as well as the attendees, organisers, sponsors, and volunteers 👏

Software is never done until it’s out of production. Instead of seeking a “definition of done,” let’s define “enough.” Enough on this feature, time to shift our focus again.

Thanks go to @allspaw for making this classic 2-page paper by Dr. Richard Cook available again: adaptivecapacitylabs.com/BriefLookAtThe…

This forms an interesting "law" or "rule" of work. The more things that are going to be started soon, and the more things in flight at once, the more I'm going to be interrupted.

@github I can’t see any changes to the Deployments APIs either yet? @latest/rest/reference/repos#deployments" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.github.com/en/free-pro-te…

New to Actions: the ability to require manual approvals for Action workflows, making it a full-featured continuous delivery engine. Control the full developer pipeline from commit to deploy. #GitHubUniverse #Keynote githubuniverse.com

@JustinKitagawa Given that you showed an overall net promoter score, did you ask one single overall NPS question? Or one for each of these 9 statements (and calculated the overall score)?

Just saw this presentation of yours from last year where you mentioned that you asked your developers to rate these aspects: youtube.com/watch?v=BIkDeT…

@JustinKitagawa Would you be open to sharing more about how you measured Net Promoter Score for your developer platform at Twilio?

@JustinKitagawa Did you ask “Agree / Disagree” from 1-10, or use the classic format of “How likely are you to recommend X to a friend or colleague?” If the latter, how did you phrase this?

@_AkihiroSuda_ github.com/contai/nerdctl would be smooth, but maybe not available?

I wrote “nerdctl”, a Docker-compatible CLI for contaiNERD, but I don’t think this name is good... Any suggestion for a better name? Needs to be unique, short, pronouncible, rememberable, and googlable github.com/AkihiroSuda/ne…

@natpryce Tried Act for GitHub Actions? It’s not official (I wish), but it works for running almost all things supported in GitHub Actions workflows: github.com/nektos/act

The first cloud service that can create a workflow for evolving CI & CD pipelines that doesn’t involve committing and pushing changes to see if they work will get my eternal gratitude

@ThaiWoodHere Any chance for an RSS feed? 😍 I hvae been subscribing for quite a while but have been noting that over time, email hasn't felt like the medium I personally use for casual reading/learning.

Want to learn along with me? Each week I'll take you along on my journey as I scour the internet to learn more about resilience, whether that is in systems, technology, or people. resilienceweekly.com #ResilienceEngineering

@mitchellh @sethvargo @ptyng For others (like me) looking for @ptyng's other such providers, these might be them (?): github.com/paultyng?tab=r…

I love that every few months @ptyng (our Dir. of TF Providers) comes out with a non-infra TF provider, highlighting the power of providers generally. This time: a Twitter provider that can help you manage blocked users: github.com/paultyng/terra… (note, this is personal work)

@joelsantiago @maxvoltar What is that clock/display?

@maxvoltar Hope y'all don't mind some alternative OS representation.

Alright y’all show me your messy desks. Here’s mine. Shit gets done here.
