Kent Beck has a name for it. The forest and the desert.

Your developers aren't users of the platform.

They're customers.

@danielbryantuk.com explains why platform engineering needs a product mindset—and why APIs, automation, abstractions, and composability matter more than simply adding more tools.

#Twitter started by giving users tools to control their own experience.

Then recommendation algorithms changed the game.

@j2bryson.bsky.social argues AI companies risk repeating the same mistake: concentrating power in one place while claiming being your "best friend".

Technical leadership isn’t about telling people how to code. It’s about aligning a team on how you use your tools.

@patkua.bsky.social explains how something as simple as a Git PR review can reveal—and fix—team misalignment.

How does an 8-person dev team ship fast?

Robert-Jan Huijsman: kill friction + non-determinism.
Async work streams, types everywhere, retries, durable execution, strong consistency.

It’s less "move fast" and more "remove chaos".
