@ThePrimeagen @thdxr Accelerating the ability for enterprises to make bad decisions, doesn't, unfortunately, necessitate they'll be able to learn from them.

Copilot and its ilk are going to make corporate software governance implode. Devs pushing out code is almost never the true constraint.

@heitor_lessa There's still a few of us down in Perth, if you're ever down this way again :)

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

@theo Have you tried @readwise?

Couldn't imagine going back to pocket at this point to be honest

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

@businessbarista @HeyGen_Official @elevenlabs Surely it's called an AIvatar?

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

@stephsmithio When I've worked in commodity spaces, like the utility sector, I've seen these things be actively rewarded.

The mantra for the business was "reducing cost to serve" and taking cost out as a consultant was the only messaging that resonated.

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

@yordisprieto Agreed!

Doing event sourcing makes a fundamental change, going from a complex space to a complicated one, as per Cynefin. Much of the resistance is from this, as it's fundamentally different.

@RDarrylR Eventbridge is the nervous system for your AWS estate, it's insane how many people are running estates completely numb.

@ThePrimeagen The problem with recursion is that you keep having to come back to it

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

@TheJackForge Something I took from an old colleague, make sure you test for the ability to teach and to be taught as part of the hiring funnel.

The best teams I've been on have been built with these abilities.

I don't have time for people who won't try to learn no matter how experienced.

@mattgillard @GnellAimee $1,200

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

There are some absolute bangers in the latest @humble bundle. 37 dollarbucks is a steal.

[Luke Hedger @level_out]

Woah this @humble bundle is packed full of top notch books https://t.co/QlNiCBRJQz (including mine! 😜)

In particular, Practical Process Automation by @berndruecker is soooo good. A must-read if you are implementing complex workflows on distributed systems

@richdevelops Regarding product development, @t3dotgg got to me when he boiled it down to whether you are competing in the frontend or backend.

For many things, touching the AWS console means you're over-engineering. @vercel and @Netlify are redefining what serverless is.

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

@mikejulian @astuyve +1 on granted, Chris, Fraser and the team do amazing work

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

@mattgillard @donkersgood Surely with the 4,500 developer years GenAI saved them, they could spare a few for this

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

@calvinochieng_ It's very early days, but as someone whose react code is a sadist's wet dream, it was very welcome to build something that looks and feels modern.

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

@ben11kehoe @theburningmonk There are more levels on top of this as well. I went down a rabbit hole of trying to prove only a specific Lambda function could access a particular object in S3:

@nathangloverAUS How are you calculating vo2?

[Josh Armitage @JoshArmi]

@spadjay At least the grammar is better, not much else has changed
