We have invested a lot in domain models, some of which are even very good. And, to be able to leverage that as we move to the new world is really, really important." Rod Johnson.

Internal development teams and executives are increasingly looking at AI to automate the creation of internal developer platforms. However, cobbling together open-source components with AI is a far cry from building a scalable, secure, and “enterprise-grade” environment. In this conversation, we explore why betting your internal infrastructure on AI-generated platforms is a high-stakes risk and why human-led architecture still dictates the long-term success of a platform. There’s also an excerpt.

Europe doubles down on sovereign cloud, Anthropic shakes markets, and AI seeps into meetings, legislation, and IT services. Plus: Java for AI, portable agent “skills,” ERP disdain, and cultural scale reality checks.

Enterprises should focus on resilience and learning in AI projects by experimenting with applications rather than building new infrastructure.

Concerns are growing that AI-generated applications could disrupt existing software companies, leading to significant drops in market value for tech stocks, particularly following major announcements from firms like Anthropic and Amazon.

Enterprise AI reality checks everywhere: no more free lunches, Copilot productivity gaps, agent sprawl, usage control, and OSS maintainers drowning in AI slop. Also: Kubernetes + Greenplum, MCP auth that finally works, EA’s quiet resurgence, AI prompts-as-infra, propaganda via images, and yes, a Chicken McNugget futures market.

Spotting talent, getting innovation adoption and driving use, open source, AI, and developing taste - those are the major topics Andrew and I discussed this week at a live recording. Also, a framework for creating the perfect burger.

OpenAI’s Codex taking aim at Claude Code, plus growing global pushback against U.S. tech - with Europe flirting with the kill switch. And a spicy take on AWS’s future: when developers don’t choose the cloud, AI tools do.
