Platform engineering can both enforce the guardrails and enable the innovation of AI adoption across the software development life cycle. By @jkriggins.bsky.social

I keep forgetting to post here. Almost never scroll. As much as I support its lefty peaceful vibes, I’m not saying it’s bad I didn’t replace that other site. (Or did I with Duolingo?)

“Work is one of the last remaining places where we are motivated to learn from people we don’t agree with and find common pursuit with people we are ideologically opposed to. I think that’s meaningful. I think it’s worth doing.” Just read it. Seriously y’all. I continue to be rarely awed by Charity

So I thought they just put me back together wrong after my C-section because I can’t like pee it all out til I’ve lied down, but a friend said very recently that our organs move during pregnancy … So I’ve been slandering my incredible surgeons for eight years. But also 🤯 we learn shit in school

Lots of noise around “AI productivity.” But speed without trust? That’s not productivity. It’s risk. Great piece by @jkriggins.bsky.social for @thenewstack.io on what matters: ROI, usability, trust. Proud to be included! (Hint: it’s not just about faster code.) 👉 thenewstack.io/how-to-measu...

AI isn't just changing code... it's restructuring org charts! @jkriggins.bsky.social dives into the rise of the Chief AI Officer (CAIO) role, revealing why 48% of FTSE 100 companies now have one. Learn how CAIOs balance innovation, risk, and cross-organizational strategy.

As companies increasingly look to strategically deploy AI across their organizations, do they need one role to rule it all? By @jkriggins.bsky.social

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030. Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

Great panel session at #PlatformCON25 lead by @jkriggins.bsky.social - recommended! She was joined by @grimalkina.bsky.social @lizthegrey.com Lizzie Matusov "We need better measures than happiness and satisfaction, which are richer and connect better to our responsibility" [email protected]

My super cheap extra screen wouldn’t connect so I blew into the cable ends like it was a Nintendo cartridge… And that worked I feel extra successful for the day

Best #Buffy line ever? Cordelia Chase: I came over here to tell Buffy to stop this craziness and found you all unconscious... again. How many times have you been knocked out, anyway? I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Tae kwon do isn’t exactly compatible with shorts and skirts weather… …on the other hand, I sure do love to show off bruises and other booboos so huzzah!

Eliza Dushku aka Faith has done some Krav Maga. As I watch Season 3, I get to see her and Buffy spar with the two styles. Fun!
