Citizen developers are living and creating in your enterprise network. Instead of restricting them and stopping uncontrolled AI use, encourage employees to use AI to solve their own problems. Test it our here vibed.run 🧵
sorry but WTF Fable 5 is practically useless. I asked it to check the issue of a project I'm working on, to analyze it and provide me with an implementation plan...Not allowed BTW, I ended up asking such cheap questions because security reviews or performance optimizations are obviously forbidden. 🤷♂️
Kick off Cloud Native Summit Munich with 400 attendees, >80 speakers, 3 tracks + Workshops, 2 days and the best? It’s Birthday 🎂 Edition #cnsmunich #cloudnative #opensource #aiengineering
Thrilled to join the Ambassador program of the @aaif.io 🚀 I'm one of 138 devs across 41 countries joining. All open source advocates. Can't wait to connect globally. #AAIFoundation
There's a lot of talk right now about Europe's "tech sovereignty"; I think for a good reason. The EU still depends on non-EU providers for more than 80% of its key digital products, services and infrastructure. mkorbi.github.io/tech-soverei...
Hello Cloud Native enthusiasts, builders and contributors. For our @Cloud Native Summit Munich we are looking for volunteers to support a seamless conference experience 🤝
5 Years of Cloud Native Summit Munich 🥳 Time for a little birthday party! This year, we are filling up 3 stages, with over 70 speakers on two days, plus a couple of workshops, networking and plenty of room for "Oafach guad Fachsimpeln" cloudnativesummit.de
The missing last mile of vibe coding, from "it works on my machine" to a real URL, instantly. I'm working on a project called vibeD, a little weekend thing, that should give enterprises the playground to put white-collar worker-created artifacts to corporate value. github.com/vibed-projec...
Hot take: the biggest bottleneck for agentic AI isn't the models, it's the infrastructure patterns. Just published a deep dive on what I think Kubernetes needs to become for the agentic era. Three concepts: → Intent-Based Access Control: RBAC assumes known actors. Agents need an LLM-as-Judge layer
I was working the last weekends on a little new open source project. vibeD bridges the gap between AI code generation and production deployment. It exposes an MCP server that AI agents can call directly, handling the entire lifecycle from source files to running services. vibed.run/blog/the-vib...

AI is taking its place — in work, in private life, and everywhere in between. With this comes a couple of challenges: many are already in sight, others we can't yet imagine.

Hello lovely @ConDaysEU London and #mcpconf attendees. Not sure if this will reach you, but I got informed that some of you had joined my session today. I declined my session in the end of Jan due to the death of my father, who’s funeral will be this days. /2
The AI Bubble is a $ 1.4T shell game: 1️⃣ NVIDIA invests $ 100B in OpenAI 2️⃣ OpenAI buys $ 100B in NVIDIA chips 3️⃣ NVIDIA reports “record demand” → stock 🚀 → repeat This is revenue roundtripping, same trick that sank Global Crossing in 2000.

Creating a Trillion-Dollar House of Cards
The AI bubble and how short circular investments are creating an unprecedented investment boom, with over $1.4 trillion in committed spending across a tightly interconnected network of companies.

Bye Bye Big Tech: How I Migrated to an almost All-EU Stack (and saved 500€ per year)
“Bye bye bye.” It took some time, and a serious amount of research, but I have finally crossed the finish line. I have officially migrated my digital life to pure, EU-hosted solutions.

AI is everywhere, but something feels… off. LLMs? Are not "intelligent." They’re just a fancy User Interface (UI). A probabilistic text machine that can ✅Replace management consultants (sometimes) ✅Automate no-brain tasks ❌Understand anything Most of the hype is a hoax👇
Looking at a the booth at #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon we should re-name it to KubeCon + AiNaiveCon. WDYT?

Sovereignty and the fragmentation challenge
I love the new born tech patriotism in Europe. I believe it was never gone, just the demand has shifted.

Platform Engineering is 40% Technology, 40% People, Mindset, and Process, and 20% your company's demands. Where to start • start with a cloud provider & IaC • go down on containers & Kubernetes • learn CI/CD & GitOps • master security • manage observability www.zeitgeistofbytes.com/p/a-path-to-...

Delighted to welcome you as one of our speakers, Michel — your session is highly anticipated! ✨ #CloudNative #opensource #CNSMunich #community
AI Engineering is inevitable. The question is how you will blend into your career. Finding the right approach will be critical for the success of AI adoption. More about it in my newsletter open.substack.com/pub/mkoerbi/...
AI Engineering will become ubiquis
Not yet another AI newsletter, just the topic of the day "AI Engineering" and why everyone should have a look, at least.

Already at Platform Engineering Day (KubeCon)? Don’t miss our first book signing today from 14:30-15:30 at the meshcloud booth, right in front of stage F. Hilliary Lipsig, Andreas (Andi) Grabner and my Self are waiting you :) #platengday #kubecon
Getting ready for the upcoming #KubeCon? don't miss on last KubeCon's recap, led by my fellow expert Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Ambassadors. It was a fun live stream! medium.com/p/1362959030c1 @vfarcic.bsky.social @mkoerbi.bsky.social @cncf.io
Platform Engineering for Architects by @mkoerbi.bsky.social @grabnerandi.bsky.social & Hilliary Lipsig It's wonderfully detailed and well researched. Building all the right foundations for thinking about how to build and maintain platforms. A critical reference to fully think through your platform.
