Yay! #AWS DevOps Agent got announced 🎉 I have been working on this multi-agent system for the past few months. In particular, I focused on the incident response capability & surfacing useful information to help repair apps built on AWS. I would love if you give it a spin and hear your feedback!

It bothers me to no extent that the media plays how Klarna whistles Klarna wants to the headlines to say "AI-enabled Klarna" It would have halved its workforce without AI because it overhired 2x in 2020-21 and never corrected till now But this is how they get front pages

Is 10pm on a Sunday a good time to post about your new tech blog? www.efekarakus.com/2025/09/21/l... Here are some basic thoughts if you are on a team vending functionality for AI agent builders

Confounding that we have the simultaneous narratives of "AI will replace your jobs for 1/10th the price" in parallel with "there just are not enough people to build fast enough, we need you to work 80% harder." Also, it was exactly the same 15 years ago except replace AI with "outsourcing."

My friends. This is not a good idea: www.wired.com/story/silico... - take it from every single wisdom tradition in the history of the world. You can love your work, but your work cannot love you back. Have more respect for yourself and your peers. Work hard. Do good work.

Great talk about avoiding rewrite trap by @skamille.themanagerswrath.com at @leaddev.com #LDX3, and my favourite: "The Computers are not your stakeholders" 👏 leaddev.com/software-qua...

Escaping the rewrite trap

Gain practical frameworks to assess rewrites vs. evolution, plan successful migrations, and align teams and stakeholders without losing momentum.

Product evals are misunderstood. Many teams think that adding another tool, metric, or llm-as-judge will solve all their problems and save their product. But that just dodges the hard truth and avoids the real work. Here's how to fix your process instead. eugeneyan.com/writing/eval...

Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara is one of the most inspiring management books I read recently 😍. It helped me pin down the perfect term: “being unreasonable” for what I enjoy doing most at work. a.co/d/d0NH6hb
