AI is gaining noticeable traction with individual devs, small teams, and greenfield shops. Enterprise adoption is different. To scale beyond pilots and isolated efforts, enterprises must first address five key blockers. bartongeorge.io/2026/04/23/t…

Whenever you see a note on a product that says something to the effect of "easy peel," please view that as aspirational and s feature that will be added in a future release

I grabbed @botchagalupe, co-author of the DevOps Handbook to get his thoughts on AI agents & DevSecOps. His message: what worked w/traditional SW doesnt apply. We need to rethink governance, particularly given the scale, velocity and autonomy of agents youtu.be/oGq4YoQOgp4?si=tP-P…

For agents in the enterprise to transition from POC to in-process inclusion you need governance to support grass roots adoption. Without it, you run the risk of shadow AI, leaving you open to security breaches and preventing you from truly leveraging AIs abilities

I made a typo and was mocked by @claudeai ! --> “If you mean chatbot (not catbot!), here's how NLP fits in:” It knew I didnt mean catbot, as far as i know there is no such thing as a catbot and yet, it had to be a jerk.

I keep hearing about devs whose code is now being 100% AI generated (or soon will be). Why am I not hearing concerns about the potential decline in developer jobs? (Im definitely hearing it wrt knowledge workers)

An LLM controlled robot arms—and outperformed custom robots without task-specific training. AI is becoming a “general brain” for robotics. -- Brain Verkley of @VASTDataAI talks about what he saw at @PyTorch

We keep asking: “Will AI become human?” But maybe we should ask: “Why are we comparing machines to humans at all?” -- @botchagalupe. Speaking of AI, check out John's latest book, "Rebels of Reason: The Long Road from Aristotle to ChatGPT and AI's Heroes Who Kept the Faith"

I’s biggest bottleneck isn’t compute — it’s data mobility. As @Molly_J_Presley explains, @Hammerspace_Inc uses metadata to move only what’s needed to GPUs. Smarter, faster, cheaper. #AIIFD3
