Make it so the robots can use your shit, or you might be irrelevant. At least, less so. Platforms, tools or frameworks that are hard for large language models (LLMs) and agents to use will start feeling less powerful and require more manual intervention. In contrast, tools that are simple for agents to integrate with…

hallway conversations vs. AI
Your business processes are tribal knowledge passed down through email chains and hallway conversations. Before an AI can handle expense reports or customer inquiries autonomously, you need to document, standardize, and make machine-readable every workflow. That’s a multi-year project. 🔗 Your employees are already AI-augmented. Your enterprise isn’t. Here’s why that matters

All of the nerd content I’ve made this fiscal year, so far
This is “content” I’ve made from November, 2024 to today that has something to do with my work. Mostly “to do with” means “talks about the tech world,” if not directly about the concerns and products we have and do at Tanzu. Items include videos, podcasts, white papers, published recordings of conference talks, guesting on…

How To Build Agentic AI That Ships – The New Stack – “Ninety-five percent of AI initiatives should be expected to fail as long as we ignore these pitfalls: Models are generic. Enterprises are unique.

DORA Report 2024 – A Look at Throughput and Stability – Developer productivity is fine, but: “We thought the bottleneck was developers writing code, but in fact the bottleneck is putting good code into production.” // Maybe the current trend in DevOps/platform engineering/cloud native to to stop caring about developer productivity, rather, re-silo and let…

Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure – I’d call this something more like “multi-cloud platform.” A sub-set is cloud native, Kubernetes, really. A further subset is private cloud. As always with critiquing Gartner work, unless you have full access to related PDFs and have read them, be careful with assumptions and scorn.

Using app architecture constraints and templates in platform engineering
Platforms have many opinions, app architecture is one of them This is an excerpt from a new blog post of mine covering a recent panel with platform engineers from Charles Schwab. I’ve made some slight changes. Ensuring platform scalability and resilience starts with making sure applications are architected appropriately. Nowadays, that usually means using a…

Platform Engineering is just adding Product Management to Ops
I don’t know. I’ve been trying to sort out what platform engineering is for awhile.1 It matters a lot for my job! While I haven’t verified it, it seems like it started as a marketing campaign from Humanitec and then took on a life of its own. Now the likes of Gartner have practice areas…

“Consistency” – the less platforms, the better
Have you tried having less? Standardized. Centralized. Consistent. Those words I use over and over when talking about platforms. In large organizations, you’ve got hundreds, even thousands, of applications. There are likely tens of “platforms”: the stacks of runtime and middleware goo that all those apps run on. Maybe even hundreds if the company is…

Buy your platform, don’t build it
When it comes to cloud native application platforms, we’re at an important evolutionary point: will the best practice for platform strategies be to build or to buy? Should you choose the components you need for a platform and integrate them together, or should you buy a pre-integrated platform? Unless you’re a handful of organizations, the…
