What if your dinner flew over traffic instead of sitting in it?

Today, we're partnering with @Uber to bring 1 million drone deliveries per day to America

[Keller Cliffton @Keller]

What if your dinner could fly over traffic instead of sitting in it? We are now scaling to provide Uber Eats more than 1 million autonomous deliveries a day. Uber is becoming an investor in Zipline. We’ve entered the scaling era for robotics and physical AI.

Idea: treat Code Review Feedback as an Incident that needs a Post-Mortem.

We're seeing way more PRs, many with bigger diffs. We've been evaluating different code review tools, and time spent reviewing code has gone up. If this is only the start of what's to come, Code Review needs to be rethought bigger than anything I've heard so far.

In this new world, we should change engineering culture to aim for zero code review interventions, with the aspiration to fully eliminate code review some day *gasp!*

Any time changes are requested, that should be treated as a failure of upstream process. We have post-mortem culture to root-cause process failures and corrective actions for incidents. What if we apply that mentality to code review feedback?

Any time a human requests changes on an agent's PR, the agent obliges and iterates. This is equivalent to bringing prod back online when an incident occurs.

But then we must track that this feedback was given, and have a follow-on review of what lead to this failure:

Tribal Knowledge: Are our docs not sufficiently specific? Are we missing an explicit style guide?

Requirements: Was the design not fully thought through? Were optimization criteria not ranked properly? Were edge-cases left undefined?

Taste: are the boundaries of the system architecture not sufficiently enforced?

Verification: are testing standards not fully documented?

I will try running this culture to measure the impact on PR iterations.

1.8 million commercial deliveries. Tens of thousands of saved lives. Time to hyperscale in Africa, thanks to @StateDept

Come hail or high water, Zipline delivers

Zipline Delivers - — - — - — - Order #1,779,877
At 4:45 PM on October 30, Nyagatare District Hospital faced a crisis. A mother in labor suffered a placental abruption, causing severe bleeding. Both of her twins were born prematurely and in distress. Three lives were in danger and the hospital's blood supply was low.

Every @zipline delivery has a non-zero chance to create a future engineer...

[Ryan Oksenhorn @ryanzip]

Zipline just rolled out our April software release. Our team shipped 1,760 changes after testing for 3,256 flight hours (20,700 test flights) on 76 unique aircraft.

Here is a *long* thread diving deep into the top 20 changes... 1/many

1 million miles and 150,000 trips per week... @waymo is accelerating

[adity3 @aditychai]

.@charlixcx pls take a waymo while you’re in SF

[Waymo @Waymo]

Cheers to millions and millions of trips! We’re thrilled to celebrate a huge milestone: over 2 million paid rider-only trips completed. Thanks to your support, Waymo One is reaching new heights as we rewrite the future of transportation.

[Alex Ross @AreteRoss]

I’m in SF and have taken 4 @Waymo rides. Holy crap. Best product experience since my first iPhone in 2008. Feels under-hyped as hard as that is to imagine. No carsickness, no driver quirks, and I get to jam out to my music 🎶 congrats to that team!

[Waymo @Waymo]

New partnership tipping off in 3…2…

#DubNation, we’re thrilled to partner with the @warriors and @ChaseCenter. Look out for some fun surprises throughout the season! 🤩🏀🏆

[Waymo @Waymo]

Sit back and take in the view. With #WaymoOne, rest assured we take pride in making sure your next ride is regularly cleaned and the cabin air is flushed prior to your pick up.

[Waymo @Waymo]

We 👀 you, SF! Download the Waymo One app and we’ll reach out when you’re up next! For those visiting SF, give us a heads up via DM and we may surprise you with special access while you’re in town. 🤖🚘🌉🎉

"The car was dryly precise. It never exceeded the speed limit, used its turn signal well in advance of a lane change and yielded to pedestrians in crosswalks whom speedy drivers might disregard." 🫡

[Waymo @Waymo]

We’ve been waiting for this moment and now we can share it with you: Today, we received our paid driverless permit from the CPUC! In the coming weeks, we’ll begin charging fares for rider-only trips and welcoming new riders into Waymo One in San Francisco. https://t.co/xxNiKuLevG

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

San Francisco officials and supervisors are lying about self driving cars, a technology home-grown in SF that will save millions of lives.

They're fabricating statistics. Why is this happening? Who's doing it? And what can we do about it?
