Software engineering will be completely unrecognizable in 5 years. Likely less - Guillermo Rauch

When someone asks me for a meeting, I try to solve the problem at that exact moment.

I ask for the details, context, pitch, question in place, or if it’s important enough, I call them right away.

You’ll be amazed how many things you’re putting off by weeks, with the transaction costs of calendar management, emails, zooms, that can just be figured out… right now.

Increasing convinced observability and monitoring as it exists today will soon cease to exist. Two counter trends: autonomous infrastructure & AI.

Humans staring at plots and charts to derive very obvious patterns like why your API is 500ing is NGMI.

On one hand we have infra that scales automatically and self-heals. A lot of our customers simply don’t set up expensive o11y appliances. Prices will go down to approach the cost of data storage. On the other hand, we have the fact that people don’t want o11y, they want solutions.

They want pull requests with fixes, they want automatic rollbacks, they want automatic fail over of vendors (see: AI Gateway).
