"We have a PHP SDK ready for you."

What the developer did: pointed his AI at the Vatly docs and vibe-coded the entire integration in one shot.

Didn't even check what the AI had done. It just worked.

Documentation > SDKs when AI can read your docs?

Conference over. My talk was a success.

But it pays nothing. Nobody is banging on my front door with jobs because I gave a talk at a big conference.

I desperately need a job, coming up on 9 months unemployed.

I am looking for Incidents, SRE, or Platform work. I have been judged as overqualified for Senior roles, so my focus is Staff+ and such.

My LI profile is as good as anything for understanding my work history, so here it is:

You didn't build a Developer Platform. You built a Golden Cage.

IDPs built for control instead of consumption will always fail.

The architectural verdict:

10-minute deployments vs. hours doing it manually!

AWS launched Agent Plugins for AWS, giving AI coding agents specialized deployment skills.

The initial deploy-on-aws plugin transforms workflows by accepting commands like "deploy to AWS" and generating complete pipelines with architecture recommendations, cost estimates, and infrastructure code.

Back in the game: it's never been so easy to ship @perplexity_ai Shoutout to our devex and infra teams for making agentic coding easier by the day.

ActivityPub client developer experience is something like this.

Building a coherent feed with stateful objects requires comparing an Activity from the inbox, with whatโ€™s in your outbox.

"Many organizations I have been involved with put their initial focus on the ticketing system as primary data source. I believe that is a mistake.

Work packages provide an overview of what happens across the production system. A ticketing system represents work. It is a model of reality. It is not reality. The code is the closest representation of reality in a software production system."

Short musings on "cognitive debt" - I'm seeing this in my own work, where excessive unreviewed AI-generated code leads me to lose a firm mental model of what I've built, which then makes it harder to confidently make future decisions https://t.co/KUqQXDVNiS
