Spring: The Documentary arrives 7th May! π
Spring didnβt start as a framework, it started as a reaction to complexity in enterprise Java.
What followed was a movement that redefined how modern applications are built, from Spring Boot to the cloud era.
This is the story behind one of the most influential technologies in software.
I'm looking for work, so if you want an experienced devrel person/leader, if you need a technical educator, or if you want some consulting on how to help your devs work more effectively, ping me.
Chamath on how AI agents are making the "10x engineer" distinction disappear because the most efficient "code paths" are now obvious to everyone.
Just as AI solved chess and removed the mystery of the best move, AI is doing the same for coding, making the process reductive and removing technical differentiation.
"I'm going to say something controversial: I don't think developers anymore have good judgment. Developers get to the answer, or they don't get to the answer, and that's what agents have done. The 10x engineer used to have better judgment than the 1x engineer, but by making everybody a 10x engineer, you're taking judgment away. You're taking code paths that are now obvious and making them available to everybody.
It's effectively like what happened in chess: an AI created a solver so everybody understood the most efficient path in every single spot to do the most EV-positive (expected value positive) thing. Coding is very similar in that way; you can reduce it and view it very reductively, so there is no differentiation in code."

From Mississippi to the Movies. Last night was unforgettable. @TheAcademy
Was an honor to share the Oscar stage. Congrats to the SINNERS fam for their 4 Oscar wins. Such a cool ride.
Big shout out to all of the behind the scenes legends that made this all possible ππΈ
A lot of engineers I know, go into defensive mode when asked questions, remember no one is questioning your skill, someone looking at the code from a new perspective will always have questions, and this is how you can make a great team culture, by sharing what you know, by discussing what's new.
This always worked for me, yes I used to be defensive when I was early in my career. This is something you learn as you gain experience.
we just released ππππππππ-ππππ-πππππππππ, inspired by Vercel's πππππ-ππππ-πππππππππ
these are the Agent Skills that we use on the supabase platform - including performance, security, & schema design

@TheVixhal No. They're wiping out coders. A software engineer does much more than just code. In fact, programming is the thing a software engineer does least of all.
Going live tonight at 7pm ET βπΎ @talkshoplive
Weβre talking about my new album, my new label Red Zero, & weβll have a signed photo for everyone that buys the record. Too stoked!!
