@simas_ch But did it help you to roll out the database changes safely (i.e. in multie deployments with multiple backward-compatible versions of the code)? I'm curious, because I'm currently doing a database migration that touches a central entity in our app.
Software engineers: Context switching kills productivity.
Also software engineers: I'm now managing 19 AI agents and doing 1800 commits a day.
We’ve spent years complaining that managers who expect a quick 5-minute chat ruin our focus for the next hour. But a ping from an agent every few minutes, that’s ok?
We celebrated Paul Graham’s essay “Maker’s Schedule, Manager’s Schedule” in which he argued:
“When you're operating on the maker's schedule, meetings are a disaster. A single meeting can blow a whole afternoon, by breaking it into two pieces each too small to do anything hard in.”
Now we see software engineers claiming huge productivity gains from hordes of AI agents, celebrating thousands of commits per day from their 19 agents.
Either context switching was never really the problem, and we oversold our need for deep focus. Or we're not actually reviewing 1800 commits a day.
If we couldn't context switch before, we're not managing 19 agents. We're blindly trusting them.
That’s not engineering, it’s gambling.
@springrod@spring_io@sergialmar Indeed! The only conference for which I gladly spend 2 days in a plane travelling all the way from Sydney. Hope to see everyone again next year!
@nele_lea@bsansouci Did you get to see the bridge or was it shrouded in mist? I was in SF (the first time ever) a couple weeks ago so we just missed each other. When I went to see the bridge, it wasn't there...

@spring_io was a great event again (as always). My favorite conference by a great margin! Big thanks to @sergialmar and the team for making it happen and caring for speakers and attendees alike.
