Developers are asking for better tools on GitHub for autonomous agentic coding. At the same time maintainers feel overwhelmed and want more control. Both are important!

Here's me at AGNTCon Europe sharing 2 of the features I've been using daily for my own agentic workflows💜

Happy National IT Professionals Day to everyone shaping, building, and maintaining human-centered technology! Your work matters.

“Can you fix my TV? What about my fridge or phone?” 📱📺
If you’re in tech, you’ve heard this a hundred times. While we laugh it off, it actually points to something bigger: technology is deeply personal.

Back in my days at the School of IT in @UC_CECH , it was constantly drummed into our ears that Information Technology isn’t just about systems. It’s the interplay of people, processes, and technology, where people always come first.

That lesson stuck with me. My baseline has always been simple: design tech and policy that serve humans first.

Please don’t use what you briefly saw on Google AI Overview to argue with someone who deeply understands the topic & its nuances.

You will be embarrassed and you will deserve it.
