I'm a little confused. An agent's value-add is to automate what a human actor (in this case, an SRE) does and thus reduces the time taken to recovery, etc. A human SRE never manually detects an error - we already have well-establi

There’s only one solution to this problem at this point. Make AI significantly less affordable and accessible. Raise the prices of Pro / Plus / max / ultra tiers, introduce time limits, especially for minors (like screen time

Fair point - my statement is more about stealing market for simpler integrations by undercutting them on price. And I don't want to trivialize the reality of enterprise platforms where bespoke connectors rule. I have dealt with migrati

I would be in the skeptics' camp 3-4 months ago. Opus-4.5 and GPT-5.2 have changed my mind. I'm not talking about mere code completion. I am talking about these models AND the corresponding agents playing a really really capable s

Coding/programming as a skill differentiator is most likely "dead" - software DEVELOPMENT will indeed live on but it will need a higher degree of well-roundedness and ownership (which also means leaner SRE/DevOps/PM

The key is that at the end of the day productivity is king which is a polite term for cutting head count and/or delivering at a ridiculously higher velocity. You can deterministically always get good results at your pace. But most like

I've always felt that DevOps became a function/team partly because companies and especially SWE's started complaining that they were spending too much time "doing Ops work" and product/business started demandin

Don't want to get too deep into your analogy. I was addressing the "DevOps cannot code" part. To me it is a leadership failure if a DevOps team is still afraid of tackling bigger challenges (like the example given by the OP).

My message to the CTO of Honeycomb.io (who apparently wrote this post): please avoid getting philosophical and controversial to gin up curiosity about your AI platform. If you want to highlight the benefits of your platform then do so earne

At a scale, I don't see a net negative of AI merging "shit by itself" if the developer (or the agent) is ensuring sufficient e2e, integration and unit test coverage prior to every merge, if in return I get my team to crank ou

I think the opposite will happen - leadership will forego this attitude of "reverse course on the first outage". Teams will figure out how to mitigate such situations in future without sacrificing the potential upside of "ful

It's simple -- the more high-minded and snobbish the developer class will be (thus extracting the highest salaries in the world) and as long as they will continue to maintain this unreal amount of gatekeeping, the more the non-develope

I can't wait for indie developers to build super-agents that commoditize providers like Honeycomb.io and more importantly clone all their features and offer them up for free as OSS.

I thought hooks are always fired if you use it as a PreToolUse event. Wouldn’t that work for the GitHub action tools from the GitHub mcp?

I have dystonia which often stiffens my arms in a way that makes it impossible for me to type on a keyboard. TTS apps like SuperWhisper have proven to be very helpful for me in such situations. I am hoping to get a similar experience out of

So what if this was vibe-coded? How do you know this was a "slop" if you did not try it?

IMHO, one understated downside in today's AI/Agentic/Vibe-coding options is that ALL of them are evolving a bit too fast before any of these types of "best practices" can become a habit with a critical mass of devel

I hate to speak negatively about someone's hard work but I am genuinely confused as to why this needs to be a separate product/service. Could I not spin up a container or a VM and run my agents in it? What is this sandbox letting

Regardless of the AWS tech in question (and yes VPCE for non-compute services is a very common pattern in an enterprise setup using AWS since VPC with NAT is a pretty fundamental requirement), I honestly believe this was the biggest miss fr
