there is a consumption reaction loop. you consume until you can’t, and then, you react because your consumption was interrupted. if you consume only what you need, you want less, desire less, and suffer less. try it. fast. reduce. you’ll want less if you need less.

I'm hiring product and AI engineers to work on the GitHub Copilot App. If you're the right person to invent future of work, reach out to me with some proof. If you work at GitHub/Microsoft and this sounds appealing to you, reach out to me internally with similar artifacts.

Everyone's building agent skills. Almost nobody is measuring whether they actually work. If your eval is "it looked fine in the demo," you don't know if the skill is improving or regressing. What are you using today to evaluate agents or skills?
That's why I built waza — a Go CLI that benchmarks agent skills with A/B baselines, pairwise judging, and auto discovery. Scores, not gut feeling. github.com/microsoft/waza

This Memorial Day weekend I'd like to remove my hat and lower my gaze for those of you who have served or who have family who have served. Appreciate y'all. You probably know someone who deserves a moment of appreciation for their service. Tell them you appreciate them.

Gotta check out @tamir_dresher's latest post. He shows how and when to achieve determinism combining DTS, squads and c# code with aspire. The cheat sheet is super helpful. tamirdresher.github.io/blog/…

If you want to throw a Squad at a problem - VERY quickly - like a "black belt consulting group" you just need right now to solve a problem, check out SnapSquad by @paulyuki99

New post in my “Scaling AI Engineering Teams” series and how AI native engineering should look like in my opinion. In the last post I shared how AI completely changed my personal workflow. Now I’m going one level deeper: What does an actual AI engineering team look like? Not a single assistant - A team. tamirdresher.com/blog/2026/0…
