I am enjoying Frictionless but it does seem like after the book was done, someone from high above said "you need more AI" so they sprinkled some AI mentions gratuitously through the book 😅 #DevEx

Developer Experience (DevEx or DX) is really important.
Make "good work" the happy path that feels natural. Create motivation not to upkeep this easyness.

It's the equivalent of putting the running shoes right by the door or pre-cooking a healthy meal.
#DX #devEx #DeveloperExperience

Developer Experience (or DevEx to the cool kids) is a brand new idea... from 1956.

I believe that by retracing our steps we can choose a better way forward. Read my hand-cranked article that leans into more than 70 years of history and learning. Then make sure your developers have the right environment and the best tools so they can generate the most value for your organization.

Using GUI frameworks has that fun failure mode where things just don't work, silently. You can call .Move() on some control and nothing happens. Someone experienced can tell you about all the different state details that led to this situation. But every single framework has thousands of those combinations. No explicit error, no wrong behaviour, just "why did you expect anything in this specific state?"
This issue makes me bail on most non-cli projects. #ui #devex

קוראים נאמנים של הבלוג ביקשו ממני לפרט איך בעצם השתמשתי בAI ובפיצ'רים מגניבים כדי לעבוד עם השרת הביתי שלי.
אז הנה פוסט עם המון מושגים שמסביר איך אני עובד בקלות מול השרת, בלי להרגיש "אמאל'ה שרת 😱", ואיך אפילו בתוך השרת אני יכול להיכנס לתוך הקונטיינרים שרצים בתוכו.
הכל בשביל לעבוד עם AI כדי לתחזק את השרת, לשפר אותו ולפתח לו אינטגרציות חדשות בקלות.

Trying to make sure my work to expose Rust backtraces works, but I've put so much DWIM (Do What I Mean) into this library the robot can't figure out how to break it!

Tech Debt isn’t a sin — it’s a signal

Kevin Goldsmith: debt is often a strategic trade-off, not failure.
Ask: Why does it exist? What story about people/process/priorities does it tell?

4 types: Pragmatic | Required | Incidental | Symptomatic.
Stop chasing perfection. Read the signal.

#TechDebt #DevEx

I’ve recently been told about an instance of an #AI system spotting a bug in the implementation of some code because the code behaviour did not match the specification that the #AI also had access to.

This is code that was created by humans, reviewed by humans, and was accepted into a codebase where it was considered as “working as intended”.

This removed any remaining lingering doubts I had about the right #AI tooling being a key part of modern, productive #DevEx.

#OverloadProtection is one of the most overlooked practices in #PlatformEngineering.

The result? A fragile patchwork of inconsistent fixes across teams.

Centralized rate limits, quotas, adaptive controls, and real-time visibility give services predictable ways to absorb traffic spikes, reduce reliability debt, and prevent cascading failures across systems.

Success isn’t about pushing developers harder, it’s about shaping the system around them. When doing the right thing feels effortless, excellence becomes inevitable.

Developer friction is rising while leaders double down on AI and metrics. The only way to fix what’s actually broken is to ask the people doing the work.

Every team thinks one more feature will make the launch better. In reality, it’s the fastest way to delay, over-engineer, and burn out before you ever ship.
