your honor, my agent did that on its own

You can vibe code your way to a working prototype. You cannot vibe code or one-shot your way to a competitive product that works at scale. The hard part isn't writing code; it's the architectural supervision.

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

This government clearly don't really understand the complexity or the danger of the situation. They show no sign of beginning to understand, and every sign of asking the monorail salesman how public transport should work. It's going to be an uphill struggle, but don't leave this to politicians.

pouring one out for the systems thinkers who can see the abyss and have to live with the darkness

🏅 achievement unlocked - moved to London! 🇬🇧✨ sold my car and packed my life into suitcases - excited to see where this adventure takes me! (and terrified haha) still doing devrel at gitlab & fellowship at Newspeak House - researching AI governance pls hit me up for coffee chats if you're here! 😊

@sugaroverflow.com has done an awesome job on The Developer Show and I'm thrilled to see @kelseyhightower.com joining TODAY! I want to hear where the industry is heading and what @gitlab.com is doing to bring agentic AI to developers in a more thoughtful way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cokX...

I'm beyond excited to be hosting @kelseyhightower.com on The Developer Show @gitlab.com - alongside Emilio Salvador, our VP of DevRel & Strategy! We will chat about all things AI - including what skills actually matter for the future of work! 📅 Oct 28 at 10am PT: lnkd.in/gedx6ANv

chat what's everyone's take on "vibe coding"? personally i don't think you should use a theragun for programming

I did it. I blogged again! This time, I wrote about what Developer Advocacy looks like in 2025.

Interested in what's new in Kubernetes 1.33? Check it out in our interview with the release lead, Nina Polshakova!

Thanks for the invite to @pantheon.io Office Hours to talk GitLab & WordPress @jazzsequence.com ! It was super fun to livestream code with you, broken pipelines and all! 🤣 Glad we got to explore some @gitlab.com features including GitLab Duo to the #WordPress community!! 🎉

I had a great time on Wednesday breaking things for a live audience on the @pantheon.io YouTube channel with @sugaroverflow.com and help (fixing, not breaking 😅) from @gitlab.com's Duo integrated AI agent. Catch the VoD on our YouTube channel lnkd.in/g6zRkGfB

🔥 Just dropped this month's @gitlab.com LinkedIn Live with @davesteer.bsky.social discussing Duo Workflow & Agentic AI's impact! 🤖 featuring a demo from Fernando Diaz 🚀 Watch the recording here ⬇️ www.linkedin.com/video/live/u... #DuoWorkflow #AgenticAI #GitLab

If you often say "wow I relate to developers" then I have the perfect job for you Developer Relations role just listed! There's also a bunch of other recent additions on the jobs page bsky.social/about/join

probably needed a hug sponsored the 💩 emoji @unicode.org instead! gotta find joy in the little things 🫰🏼 adopt at aac.unicode.org/adopt

hate it when there's a vector field on my desk 😔😔

if it takes 4 different steps for you to let me cancel a subscription, you're doing it wrong

asked my friend who's visiting Seoul to check Myeongdong for this bag I got YEARS ago that fell apart - didn't have any front-facing photos of it, but chatgpt to the rescue!! (it's not exactly the bag, but it's close enough!)

❓If you have the chance to win one of the two books at KubeCon + Cloud Native Con EU London 2025, which one would you want most? Kubernetes or Docker in a visual day? #KubeCon #KubeConEU2025 @cncf.io @docker.com

Do you want to learn more and talk about what's happening to technology in the U.S. government? About what 18F and the U.S. Digital Service did, and what happens next? “The DOGE shitshow: what happened, and what comes next” is my next Hallway Track this Friday. verylittlegravitas.com/hallwaytrack

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

Just dropped another @gitlab.com LinkedIn Live! ✨ Our leadership team shared their vision for 2025 - from #AI #security to letting devs focus on the creative stuff 🙆‍♀️ Plus GitLab 17.9 is here with Duo Self-Hosted GA - host selected LLMs on self managed 🎉 🎬 Watch: www.linkedin.com/video/live/u...

Brief break from hawking The Onion to tell everyone I just subscribed to Wired. Please support publications who do brave work right now. www.wired.com/v2/offers/wi...

I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)

Sometimes life comes full circle in the most beautiful ways ✨ My father hosted "Voix du Pakistan" on CBC in the 70s, connecting communities through conversation. Now I host @gitlab.com 's #MondayMerge, connecting developers through code. Like father, like daughter 💕🥹

Come listen as I chat with Emilio Salvador of @gitlab.com. We discuss agentic AI trends and how it differs from code assistants, how AI (and GitLab Duo specifically) comes into play in the larger SDLC beyond writing code, and where is the “human in the loop” in all of this. youtu.be/04H660Dzp-I

left my heart in the Serengeti 🫶🏻 went to tanzania on PTO during new years and I’m still not over it!!

a question for the people who write code for money: if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?

PyPy (pie pie) != PyPI (pie pea eye) Nobody forced us to do this. We did this to ourselves.

People keep talking about Black and brown folks with DEI on the line, but I just remembered white women were the biggest benefactors of DEI programs. I’m curious how these changes will impact them and if the ones who voted for him will have any regrets.

🎬 New #MondayMerge alert! Kicked off 2025 with a ✨very special✨ coffee chat with @gitlab.com's new CEO, Bill Staples! ☕ We talked vision, community, and staying passionately curious in tech! What resonated most with you? 👉: www.linkedin.com/posts/gitlab... #GitLab #OpenSource #DevSecOps

👀 if someone could make this for me.....that would be amazing 😜
