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!
“When you buy a car, you don’t get to choose if you want a seatbelt or not” - said Suneer during his session at #HashiConf 2025 in San Francisco today.
@WorldBank built a Developer Catalyst Team to tame the Configuration Drift, Increase Compliance, Making Applications Secure and ultimately reducing Cognitive Load on developers and operations. The result was a ‘Platform Engineering’ Platform and the storefront for these services is their developer portal (see attached picture).
Session title: "Accelerating cloud transformation with Terraform: A World Bank success story".
Speaker: Suneer Pallitharammal Mukkolakal, a Staff Software Engineer at the @WorldBank

The moment to stop Uvalde was right after Sandy Hook. After Santa Fe High. After El Paso.
Instead, Abbott made it easier to carry guns in public.
The moment to stop the next slaughter is right now.
The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?
Omg !! Another rotten standard of service from @qatarairways. After @qrsupport promising to get back to me asap, I asked for an ETA, and was redirected to online help&support link, to repeat this ordeal all over again !! I would question credibility of @skytrax_uk awards. Worst
Ridiculous refund processing time from @qatarairways , quite disappointed that @qatarairways is taking forever( 2 months now) to issue refund. Called Customer service 6 times, no resolution.

India has a Prime Minister who prefers being asked whether he likes mangoes, a Parliament where MPs were not allowed to ask questions & where the head of government has not held a press conference & taken unscripted questions since he was elected. Now watch this:(#RealDemocracy)
This prescient warning from Dr Manmohan Singh in 1999 should serve to caution the bigots in our ruling circles — and also to inspire the rest of us to work to prevent the worst!
I took the Amtrak from Wilmington to Washington, D.C., every day for 36 years. The journey became routine, but the hardworking men and women I met along the way became dear friends.
