1/2 Apropos of nothing in particular, I guarantee I will never write a piece of fiction with the "help" of a large language model because a) I spent too many years developing skills to just fuck off now, b) I don't plagiarize other authors, whether intentionally or by way of statistical matches.

This is a great clip. Say no to the future they want. But also actively build the future we want. Honestly, I think that's the part we're really struggling with. In the absence of our own vision to give us direction, we'll still get dragged along with whatever is happening.

When we're making software, it's easy to have our hearts and minds focused on The Next Thing, the new hardware that will support it, the rate of adoption. But it's worth remembering that you may have devoted customers who are not going to install your new things right away. They're worth listening to.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

The most sophisticated automation doesn't replicate human processes—it creates entirely new capabilities. Continuous feedback loops, predictive risk management, and dynamic resource allocation all transform system operation in ways manual approaches never could.

AWS eliminates "undifferentiated heavy lifting"—work every organization needs but that doesn't create competitive advantage. Instead of each company building data centers, AWS automates infrastructure management and lets customers focus on unique business logic.

Effective automation focuses on four categories: work we value but don't enjoy, work requiring precision beyond human consistency, work crossing system boundaries, and work operating at inhuman scale. GitHub's deployment automation exemplifies this approach.

As systems grow complex, manual intervention becomes both more necessary and less feasible. No human reacts quickly enough to cascading changes serving millions. Automation is the stabilizing force transforming erratic motion into predictable progress.

One of the best parts about co-authoring a book with other writers you love to read is the follow-on blog posts. Check out this great post from
@wiredferret.bsky.social
that makes a great case for being opinionated, but flexible. Or as

like to say, strong opinions, loosely held.

Customization Complications
On the surface, letting people have all the customizations anyone has ever asked for seems like a great way to get alignment with what they want. They'll just use the things they need! And maybe they want something they haven't thought to ask for. But that's just the first thought, because the more options a piece of software has, the more work it takes to understand it, and the faster the users need to accept change. The interface gets cluttered. Then it gets horrendous. Then it looks like the administration view of Jira.

AWS's most sophisticated automation addresses social challenges. Automated policy enforcement lets hundreds of teams maintain autonomy while ensuring they can't violate safety constraints. This eliminates coordination bottlenecks at scale.

The goal isn't eliminating people. It's eliminating toil. Humans excel at context and judgment calls. Automation excels at consistent execution and inhuman scale. Progressive Delivery leverages both strengths for capabilities greater than either alone.
