Steve Yegge is an industry veteran and the co-author of the recently published book Vibe Coding. Many of you will remember Steve’s rant about Google platforms that I linked in one of my ancient 0800-DEVOPS newsletters. That rant is now 14 years old, but people still talk about it. We talked about vibe coding (the practice!) and Vibe Coding (the book!), whether junior developers are really doomed, the typical arguments people use against AI-assisted development, AI adoption in organizations, a...

One of the smoking hot topics these days is AI-assisted development. How can we leverage tools and practices to improve the flow and make teams more effective?

We’re missing things like operational definitions, blueprints, specifications, and standards. Listen to our conversat...
