I recorded this video on patching at scale a few days ago. Then PHP2Shell happened.

Most teams don't have a patch problem. They have a scale-and-control problem.

PagerDuty Runbook Automation lets you patch thousands of machines in parallel, with approvals, rollback and a full audit trail. 🎥

@s4hvm I'm not sure. Look at electricity: do you know how that works? A lot of people have no clue, but you can study it. I would say we should do the same with AI. We should study it. Makes you sleep a bit better, I guess.

@Chris62771610 No, it can't be real, and if it could, you would wonder why it still needs wheels.

Made a short video to showcase how the Pagerduty Runbook Automation platform works with its ecosystem in terms of patching and then patching at scale. If you are in IT and you need to patch systems now more than ever, especially with the recent hacks that occurred, there's a lot of patching that needs to be done. This is definitely powerful.

@NVIDIAAI @huggingface Can we get rid of the thinking of Europe, US, Asia, China, whatever? Let's act as a whole, as just humanity that needs and wants to coexist.

How does the MicroDuck charge itself, anyone know?

@minchoi Think it’s powerful to even get a dent in the cybertruck? Hope not..

Finished the TCS Amsterdam Marathon 2026! 🏅

So proud I got to take part, and even prouder to cross the line in under 4 hours.

42.2 km of sweat, rain and an amazing crowd. Thank you, Amsterdam! 🇳🇱

Assessing AI SRE agents with a benchmark improves the insights between apples and pears. https://t.co/f6EyCBvX42

[PagerDuty @pagerduty]

Building an SRE agent is easy. Proving it works is hard.

Our AI team explains how we built our own benchmark harness to test AI SRE agents fairly. Results show why our specialized SRE Agent is a better option versus using more generic AI tools.

@elonmusk Instead of one shot, I expect some sort of mind meld: the ability to interact with it just with thought.

[Martin van Son @DutchMartin]

@0xmoalo Oh yes, pls provide access, was looking for it.

[Martin van Son @DutchMartin]

@EngMoElgaraihy It is interesting that adoption is by a small group, the larger group is in fear of the unknown, which is the basic emotion for many. But when large problems will be solved innovation will increase and new products as result will be adopted faster.

@matth_lapeyre Think you can make them walk to charging station when low on battery? Like autonomous charging without human action?

[Martin van Son @DutchMartin]

@BenjaminDEKR Seems the attention is on the result not on the engineering that comes first.

[Martin van Son @DutchMartin]

Exactly, 100%.

Events like #SREcon aren't just for showing off technology. They're about sharing and learning.

This week in Dublin I spent time with experts, leaders and thought leaders from across EMEA and the US. Every hallway chat taught me something.

Honestly, it's the best "university" in our field. 🎓
