@thibautR @openchoreo Thanks for the invitation. I really enjoyed it

[Barton George @barton808]

My full interview w/@sam_alba of @MendralHQ. Agents allow devs to generate 10x more code.Great for them, bad for ops.The pipeline (and ops) become overwhelmed. Mendrals answer, fight AI, w/AI, creating an agentic DevOps engineer that runs in the background https://t.co/eedglgh3bS

The visual

AI is gaining noticeable traction with individual devs, small teams, and greenfield shops. Enterprise adoption is different. To scale beyond pilots and isolated efforts, enterprises must first address five key blockers. https://t.co/Trb36DMzyr

[Barton George @barton808]

AI is creating a SW delivery crisis and also giving us the tools to fix it - @sam_alba co-founder @MendralHQ (@ycombinator W26) talks about reinventing software delivery for the agent era, where he thinks the entire SDLC is heading and how Mendral can help https://t.co/pqBCRMvWno

[Barton George @barton808]

AI will automate the SDLC, but not its ownership.  — @sam_alba, co-founder @MendralHQ (@ycombinator W26), and first hire at @Docker

Whenever you see a note on a product that says something to the effect of "easy peel," please view that as aspirational and s feature that will be added in a future release

I grabbed @botchagalupe, co-author of the DevOps Handbook to get his thoughts on AI agents & DevSecOps. His message: what worked w/traditional SW doesnt apply. We need to rethink governance, particularly given the scale, velocity and autonomy of agents https://t.co/JywMHPdy5j

[Barton George @barton808]

For agents in the enterprise to transition from POC to in-process inclusion you need governance to support grass roots adoption. Without it, you run the risk of shadow AI, leaving you open to security breaches and preventing you from truly leveraging AIs abilities

DeepSeek v4 is so close I can almost taste it -- cue the fear, uncertainty and doubt https://t.co/3cLcRZ4ytZ

I made a typo and was mocked by @claudeai ! --> “If you mean chatbot (not catbot!), here's how NLP fits in:” It knew I didnt mean catbot, as far as i know there is no such thing as a catbot and yet, it had to be a jerk.

@lmarsden A walk down memory lane https://t.co/smUOyQXQcL

@pamanes7 Thanks for the support and helping to make Sputnik the success it was. Yep, its about learning and evolving and the opportunity that it will bring

[Barton George @barton808]

I keep hearing about devs whose code is now being 100% AI generated (or soon will be). Why am I not hearing concerns about the potential decline in developer jobs? (Im definitely hearing it wrt knowledge workers)

[Barton George @barton808]

@cra what's more amazing is where its going: "we believe that Claude Code will be 20%+ of all daily commits by the end of 2026" -- The genie's not going back in the bottle

An LLM controlled robot arms—and outperformed custom robots without task-specific training. AI is becoming a “general brain” for robotics. -- Brain Verkley of @VASTDataAI talks about what he saw at @PyTorch

[Barton George @barton808]

@AtomicEconomics Thats awesome! Thanks for the decade+ of support

[Barton George @barton808]

The holy grail of scale is a false god. A hard rain's gonna fall and then small open source models shall inherit the earth.
