Studying how large organizations get better at software, working at @VMwareTanzu, views are my own. Texas Forever.

Writing code is a small part of software development. If you want productivity gains from AI, you need to look at those activities as well.

This week, @bwhichard, @cote and Matt Ray discuss NVIDIA going consumer, Microsoft Build, and the Anthropic/OpenAI IPO race. Plus, does credit card insurance work?

Here's the talk about surviving and thriving in a big company that I gave at J-Spring yesterday.

"In April, utilizing new scanning capabilities, we received an unprecedented 482 new security reports across 65 scanned projects." vs. "typically about 6.5 new security reports a month"

@MarkyK And, someone took those amps quickly.

@MarkyK What people putout is always a mystery. Sometimes, as in here, it feels like someone was thrown out of their room, or split town and the land-lord (or parents) just dumped their stuff.

Also, here, someone seems to have confused the dog-poop bag trash can with the regular bins.

I’ll be there talking about working a big company later today.

See you tommorow!

I find it strange that the meme is that we are outsourcing thinking to AI. I spend way more cognitive energy on high-level problems than I've ever had.

In other words, I think about harder problems than I ever thought I could solve due to friction from the lower-level work.

Building from source gives you unparalleled security: direct verification, full control, and isolation from upstream hacks. Too complex? See how Bitnami Secure Images makes security scalable without sacrificing efficiency.

Success is rare in new projects, so 50%+ failure in AI projects isn't too shocking. Learning takes time, and expectations are often wrong. https://t.co/QboPgXdo2U

[VMware Tanzu @VMwareTanzu]

The pace of AI adoption means a shorter runway, and the stakes (PII leakage, shadow spend) are higher than ever. Governance and speed aren’t in tension—they’re the same problem. Read @ciberkleid 's analysis on how to deploy #AI safely and at scale.

Why it's a great time to be a Spring Developer by @cote

https://t.co/7h7m8eeQH3

[Coté @cote]

@starbuxman All that digital transformation paid off!

[Coté @cote]

Yes, you should make a video. I think we can coin the term “Vega’s Law”: if Dan thinks and then asks if he should make a video, the answer is always yes :)

Related: I’d enjoy seeing your experience using 100% AI to make videos. Have it use an AI generated Dan (it doesn’t have to be realistic, it can be a cartoon, or even still images - we can assume that eventually it could be a Known Fake that looks perfect), generate the topic, the demos, and talking points. Have Claude Code/Cowork orchestrate the whole thing. “Generate me a ten minute video going over adding passkeys to a generic Spring Boot app” or something like that. Better: pick an existing video of yours so we can compare.
