When you treat human beings as interchangeable typing machines, you forget what software engineering actually is. THE HARD PART OF BUILDING SOFTWARE WAS NEVER THE TYPING. It's understanding the problem, designing a coherent solution, and taking responsibility for the result. 3/8

The Hidden Tax on Blue-Collar Workers and Building in America
The unemployment insurance system has a design flaw that penalizes the construction industry, leading to fewer workers and lower productivity. Over time, that means less – and more expensive – housing...

It's that morning cup of DevOps that uh does things to my body..
See also: Agile, Continuous Delivery, DevOps, Lean, Kanban, Collaboration, and Culture. Each of them can bring both benefits and joy, but not if you remove everything other than caffeine. 3/3
movie spoilers ahead.. I appreciate Tyler's approach to the epic and how we judge our stories.
This is Western civilization at its best - not an ethnicity or a triumphalist myth, but a tradition built around the dignity of the individual, moral responsibility, and atonement. And a civilization strong enough to preserve stories that judge its own heroes remains one worth defending. 7/7

" how you go faster. More chances to build trust->more focus on trustworthiness->more trust."
"We're accumulating code faster than we're accumulating trust." Code you can fix. Trust evaporates in an instant and doesn't come back. XP was a trust factory. Every practice that builds it makes you trustworthy. Vibe coding removes those moments: newsletter.kentbeck.com/p/trust-fact...
It is easy to get caught up in the hype as vendors slap "AI" labels onto every tool, claiming it is the new frontier of CD or DevOps. However, this hype is hiding a dangerous trap. AI is actually tempting developers to have fewer conversations with each other.

The sirens of IT Ops want to drown your platform crew
The sirens of IT Ops are seductive. With familiar processes, existing tooling, the comfort of a queue. But they'll wreck your platform team on the rocks. In this fireside chat, we get real about what it takes to navigate from an ops mindset to a product mindset, so you can earn adoption instead of demanding it.
