If you really want to treat AI-generated code as a black box, your tests have to be immaculate and extensive. For example, are you testing for all of the following (not an exhaustive list and in no particular order)? All Functionality, including all corner cases. 1/6

The point of a retrospective is to learn and adjust. Retros are not about criticism, "constructive" or otherwise. ("Constructive criticism" is usually a smokescreen for passive-aggressive behavior, in any event.) Retros are not about people—management or otherwise. 1/3
A stakeholder who tells you they're too busy to talk about the product is not a stakeholder at all. Stakeholders have a stake in the product. The product's success or failure directly impacts them. Everybody else is just a bystander.
A backlog is a collection of work items that you do not have the capacity to build. (If you did have the capacity, you'd just build it.) It's a black hole where work goes to die. 1/8
Honeycomb's SRE manager wrote up their first year on the job: bad meetings they over-engineered, and the time they recused themselves from a technical call created team issues. Key takeaway: there are lots of things you could do as a manager, only some you should. www.honeycomb.io/blog/could-s...
Could vs. Should: The First Year Managing an SRE Team
As of today, I’ve drafted this post upwards of 10 times—it’s old enough that the version I first started working on was called “Reflections on 1 Year of SRE Management” (I’m currently at 2. 5 years).

oh, this is great. i work on system like little baby where observability is not a major concern but this build/buy chapter is a great expression of things i've been labouring to explain to my senior leadership for weeks now. there's wisdom in this book that reaches far beyond o11y!

@picanumeros.bsky.social has visto la polémica de Messi? Que está en sigma6? Es válido eso de sacar estadísticas sobre el top 10?
It’s incredible to think this was written over sixty years ago. Eerily prescient.
ownership, people willing to own mistakes (and share about them)
alright friends and computationists, what are the signals you pick up on that make you think a team has high engineering discipline? (whatever "high" means to you) i'm not talking science or evidence. i'm talking casual conversation, heuristics, no evidence whatsoever, just radar. what trips it?

El miedo a sufrir puede mantenernos donde ya no somos felices

Las primeras copias físicas de «Menos software, más impacto» ya están llegando. 25 años haciendo software intangible y lo primero que fabrico con peso y lomo es un libro que dice: construye menos. Si ya tienes tu copia, compártela por aquí 😅
Sigo sin encontrar nada, si podéis compartir porfi 🥲🥲 en Madrid
In my normal programming work, I use AI tools in a very focused way that I've been told is "wrong," even though I'm more productive, but there we are. I'm not spewing out 20x my previous output, so maybe that's it. I'm an engineer, so when I work with an LLM, I do engineering. 1/13
Ha sido interesante el feedback que he recibido en persona sobre mi charla en @commit-conf.com . Por lo que se ve gusto que fuera una charla no sobre IA y más temas de bajo nivel 🥹
Productivity doesn't matter if you're working on the wrong thing.
Subí esto a un Reddit de memes de El Señor de los Anillos y me complace informar que la respuesta ha dicho abrumadoramente positiva.
