Me: Great. Flight to Amsterdam is arriving early. Might even get an earlier train to my father’s place. Also me: in a hotel in Amsterdam 12 hours later because the trains didn’t run all day because of snow. Not a proud Dutchman today.

Fresh from #KubeCon, The New Stack’s @fredericl.bsky.social sits down with new @cncf.io Executive Director Jonathan Bryce to unpack the foundation’s next chapter.

In this episode of The New Stack Makers, we discussed how AI is reshaping developer roles, why GitLab is building an agent orchestration platform, and what the "meta agent" of the future might look like. By @fredericl.bsky.social, thanks to @gitlab.com

I appreciate them doing this because it'll only raise the value of having real people on real podcasts.

Werner’s last keynote. End of an era.

If this is really Werner’s last re:Invent keynote, then this is a fitting way to wrap up.

A very analog opening to the Werner Vogels closing keynote at re:Invent. String quartet and a newspaper.

Your most rewarding AWS re:Invent evening is waiting. Network with VIPs and discuss the future of the stack with TNS Founder @alexwilliams.bsky.social and Senior Editor for AI, @fredericl.bsky.social. Hosted by The New Stack and Hydrolix, Dec 1 at 6PM. www.eventbrite.com/e/reinvent-r...

Most of my mobile searches on Google now trigger the Web Guide and I’m not upset about it. They are quite helpful and a nice hybrid between AI Overviews and blue links. blog.google/products/sea...

Based on my inbox, I’m guessing AWS released the media list for re:Invent yesterday or today. Only problem: at this point, I can’t really fathom taking any additional meetings. #reinvent

It’s rough out here in Portland. Wore a GitHub swag hoodie. Guy stopped me and asked if I had some premium credits. Stay safe out there, everybody.

GitHub unveiled Agent HQ at Universe 2025, a new platform that integrates third-party coding agents directly into GitHub.

Special guest at GitHub Univers: Satya Nadella.

GitHub is adding a new developer every second.

I’m at GitHub Universe today.

Ahead of GitHub's Universe conference, we sat down with @github.com COO @kdaigle.bsky.social to talk about GitHub under @microsoft.com, Copilot's competitors and more. By @fredericl.bsky.social

WATCH NOW: A critical conversation with @GitHub.com COO @kdaigle.bsky.social ahead of GitHub Universe. The New Stack's @fredericl.bsky.social discusses the biggest opportunities and challenges for GitHub as they navigate massive enterprise adoption and the integration of new AI tools.

I sat down with GitHub COO Kyle Daigle last week to record our podcast. Unsurprisingly, we talked about how GitHub and Microsoft are getting closer together after Thomas Dohmke left, but also about Copilot and its competition, best practices for agent use, and a bunch more. youtu.be/5oZAm5fHziA?...

@fredericl.bsky.social & @alexwilliams.bsky.social sat down with Jyoti Bansal (Harness CEO) to explore why enterprises often over-index on adopting the latest AI tools without clearly defining what success looks like. The result? Fragmented efforts with little impact.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create. So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Tasklet.ai is launching out of beta today. Instead of using code or a graphical drag-and-drop interface, you create your agent by chatting with it. By @fredericl.bsky.social feat. @startupandrew.bsky.social

I remember when we were worried about Russian disinformation campaigns.

Scoop from @fredericl on @TheNewStack: GitHub Will Prioritize Migrating to Azure Over Feature Development https://thenewstack.io/github-will-prioritize-migrating-to-azure-over-feature-development/ tip @Techmeme

@github.com is working on migrating all of its infrastructure to Azure, even though this means it'll have to delay some feature development. By @fredericl.bsky.social

Got a tip last night that GitHub is moving all of its infra over to Azure. Ideally within the next year. It's such a priority for the company, with its own data center resource-constrained, that it will delay feature development to get that done ASAP. thenewstack.io/github-will-...
