Recently I went to the Edo Tokyo museum in Sumida-ku, Tokyo.

They have amazing dioramas with detailed miniature characters that show what it was like during that time.

For fun I took pictures, and then put them into Gemini and asked it to make them move.

Research meets reality: AI adoption theory vs. what it actually looks like building an AI-enabled dev lifecycle at @Mercari.

When I built menugen ~1 year ago, I observed that the hardest part by far was not the code itself, it was the plethora of services you have to assemble like IKEA furniture to make it real, the DevOps: services, payments, auth, database, security, domain names, etc...

I am really looking forward to a day where I could simply tell my agent: "build menugen" (referencing the post) and it would just work. The whole thing up to the deployed web page. The agent would have to browse a number of services, read the docs, get all the api keys, make everything work, debug it in dev, and deploy to prod. This is the actually hard part, not the code itself. Or rather, the better way to think about it is that the entire DevOps lifecycle has to become code, in addition to the necessary sensors/actuators of the CLIs/APIs with agent-native ergonomics. And there should be no need to visit web pages, click buttons, or anything like that for the human.

It's easy to state, it's now just barely technically possible and expected to work maybe, but it definitely requires from-scratch re-design, work and thought. Very exciting direction!

@ferozwala This was from February! After the Trump administration had already started.

@ferozwala It’s not fake! I found the version from https://t.co/MZpg4gmxcx…. It says Tesla in the spreadsheet.

When I saw the @Apple #VisionPro “eye” feature, this is all I could think of.

My next article in my series on Defining a Platform Engineering is focused on developing a vision for your organization. This is a crucial step if you want to be an organization that operates with a product-mind.

America, we’re paying for a campaign commercial in a house we own for a man most Americans didn’t vote for.

Looking forward to speaking at @PrairieDevCon next week.

Two talks on various aspects of the engineering culture at Netflix as it relates to delivering software.

I've tried for the past two days to log into my #equifax account, to be continually told by support folks to "come back tomorrow". Credit agencies are our financial system's tech debt.
