@CTOAdvisor This reminds me of when I was hired to lead a cloud modernization for an on-prem system tied to hundreds of data center jobs. Imagine the look on my face when I realized everyone in the building I was sitting in had their livelihoods tied to the system I needed to retire.

@techgirl1908 The desktop apps are fantastic for context building, planning, design, etc because you can just wire them up to your file system and point them at docs and files. I still like a bit of separation though so I will usually do the actual code gen in the cli.

@CBCJakeMck Baseball is a cruel sport sometimes.

@rseroter @antigravity I will definitely steal your prompt.

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

Joined @MongoDB today. Soooo stoked.

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

@edsim #LifeGoals congrats

@LLMJunky This seems to be the new frontier these days. So much market signal in this layer...

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

@rseroter @cursor_ai That was a really good read. I felt a little validated by the "rise of context" based on some early research positions I took on. But I must admit I didnt foresee how much of context engineering would be automated by the coding agents themselves.

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

@chaosengineerr GCP is in a pretty strong position if you consider the other two AI competitors arent cloud hyperscalers.

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

@techgirl1908 Neat, thanks. I looked at some adjacent use cases in my final piece of research before offramping at Forrester. Found most current tooling inadequate for complex brownfield stuff without some secret sauce in process and harness. Ill need to try this

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

@rseroter I feel like personas like me would do better at showing their tech chops with the list on the right than the stuff in the middle at this stage in our careers...so I'm inclined to whole heartedly support lol....

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

@rodydavis @GoogleAIStudio @antigravity Thats actually pretty cool.

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

I missed this brilliant piece from @unmeshjoshi on the nature of coding and the power of abstractions and vocabulary in the LLM age. https://t.co/FTDK9Gouxn

I find myself with a few days off at home. Anyone reading anything good? I've been reading about aggregate db patterns but wouldnt mind mixing things up :)

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

@rseroter Add CFOs to this list in my experience ha

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

@OfficialLoganK Kind of want to steal that.

I'm currently spending around 4k per year on personal AI subscriptions. Doubt I am alone and some folks no doubt spend more. During this time, building with AI has been my primary hobby. At some point I hope to rejoin the normies and trim this down.

@rseroter @googlecloud The preview of this message on my phone made my heart skip a beat. Well played.

[Devin Dickerson @Dev_TheAnalyst]

@CTOAdvisor Interesting findings, thanks for sharing.
