This is an amazing post cryted by Ryan: https://lckhd.eu/igvxpN Make use of #KiroWeb!
If your pipeline needs a comment explaining why nobody touches step 7, is that documentation or a warning?
Nexus share is live on better launch now. please upvote. https://lckhd.eu/elTeGT
Is the best AI coding setup the one with the smartest model, or the one that remembers what you told it last week?
A week and a bit to CLC Mannheim. Two co-presented talks: Crossplane and Kubernetes CRDs as a platform API, with Sönke Sothmann. LLM FinOps and why your GPU cost math is probably wrong, with Christopher Haar. Platform engineering and AI economics. Come say hi if you're there.
Last one: if the tools get good enough that anyone can ship, what's left that only you bring to the work?
A month of open questions later: is the pipeline something we build, or something we survive?
Halloween question: what's the scariest thing your AI assistant has confidently told you to do? 🎃
It's Halloween: what's the one AWS bill line item you're too scared to click into? 🎃
Your lifepath is yours to keep. Export it as a file, reload it later, or make a few versions: one for you, one for family. Nothing is locked in. https://lckhd.eu/LCKsTW #buildinpublic #kiro
Do we build internal platforms to empower developers, or to feel in control of what they ship?
Is your pipeline documentation the README, or the one senior engineer everyone DMs when it breaks?
A year ago I'd have reviewed every AI diff. Now I skim some. Is that trust, or quiet complacency?
Did we move to the cloud to stop managing servers, or to start managing IAM policies instead?
running it in front of people.
Prepping my re:Invent Code Talk and remembering why live coding can be terrifying: no slides to hide a broken build behind or a failed deployment. 60 minutes, onboard a service through a platform, live. If it breaks, everyone watches it break. Worth it though. Nothing proves a golden path like
When a platform adds guardrails to its self-service, at what point is it just a ticket queue with a nicer UI?
Is your deploy on a Friday a capability you've earned, or a risk you've just agreed not to talk about?
You can set how close someone was over the years, not just once. Start distant, grow close, drift apart. Their star moves with it. Make yours: https://lckhd.eu/oanGuF #buildinpublic #kiro
If the AI drafts and you only edit, are you still the author, or the editor who gets blamed either way?
Getting Pegasus Galaxy started its first real round. There are a few of you already competing to rule the galaxy. Not monetised yet, not polished to death, a real thing I built and I want real people to break it. If a tiny indie conqueror space game sounds like fun, come play: pegasus-galaxy.net
Someone shared a "life is a journey" starfield idea on X, so I built Lifepath so you can make your own. Every person in your journey becomes a star, the paths rise together, then settle into a constellation you can keep. Build yours: https://lckhd.eu/R1dOVn #buildinpublic #kiro
Is your cloud architecture the one you designed, or the one that accreted while nobody was looking?
Every internal tool ends with "the one person who understood it just left." Is a platform an asset or a bet?
Is the scary part of a deploy the code, or the fact that only one person really understands the rollback?
We keep asking if AI will replace developers. Isn't the quieter question what it's turning the job into?
Is the hardest part of AWS the engineering, or deciding which three of the forty services you actually need?
One thing I did not expect while prepping Pegasus Galaxy for real players: I built AI agents that can play it, and they immediately burned tokens ;). Agents as adversarial testers for your own game is a weirdly effective way to find the holes. Would you trust AI players to balance-test your game?
Does your developer portal save time, or add one more place to look before you give up and ask in Slack?
We ship faster than ever. Are we shipping better, or just making mistakes with lower latency?
If anyone can ship with AI, is the moat still the code, or the taste to know what's worth shipping?
Infra as code promised repeatability. Why does every environment still feel a little bit handcrafted?
If a platform needs a dedicated team to explain it, is it reducing cognitive load or relocating it?
multiplayer: what broke first when real people showed up?
Build-in-public reality for Pegasus Galaxy this week: I've been deep in the systems around the game, not the game itself. The unglamorous truth of launching a game: the game logic was the easy part. Setting up things around it and creating a community is difficult. Anyone who's shipped
Is a green build proof it works, or just proof nothing we thought to test is broken?
Then they might be too big
