Hot take! Most teams aren’t bad at AI… They’re just using it on problems that can’t be verified. And that’s why it breaks. Dexter Horthy breaks it down in this week’s episode. Listen now: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

The wildest thing about LLMs in dev work isn't speed—it's that "delete the whole thing and rewrite it" is now a reasonable Tuesday afternoon. Used to be a quarterly planning event. Dexter Horthy and I got into it: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

Last Week In AWS: AWS and Oracle Together at Last, Apparently Have a listen: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/last...

"Agentic AI moves your team from reactive to proactive" is a hell of a sentence to put in a deck. I've yet to meet the on-call engineer whose 3am page was solved by an LLM agent, but I remain open to being pleasantly surprised. Eventually. Probably.

"Agentic AI means developers automate ops, troubleshoot faster, and deploy with confidence." Sure. I've also been told this about Chef, Puppet, Kubernetes, GitOps, and ServiceNow. The tools change—the on-call rotation does not.

"Describe the problem, the agent builds-tests-deploys-improves it, then learns for next time." Sure—and I have a bridge to sell you. David Yanacek and I talked about AWS's DevOps agent and what it can actually do today vs. the pitch deck: www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

AWS shipped a DevOps agent that writes code, runs tests, diagnoses failures, and learns from incidents. Which is to say—it does the job of the on-call engineer who's currently asleep. We're going to find out if that's a feature. www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...

DevOps is entering its next era. With agentic AI, developers aren’t just writing code, they’re running, fixing, and optimizing systems autonomously. The future isn’t more tools. It’s fewer manual steps. Listen to the full conversation on the podcast. www.lastweekinaws.com/podcast/scre...
