How AI change your software development organization
A catch-up with Purnima Padmanabhan, GM of the Tanzu Division at Broadcom, on what her team has actually learned shipping enterprise software with AI for the last year and a half: code generation is the small part, beautiful code is the new uncanny valley, and you cannot solve the agent boundary problem from inside the…

Now you can react faster than ever to security problems
This is an excerpt from our Tanzu Catsup last week. In that episode we talked all about how this AI stuff is changing – for the better – how you can handle security problems at the app layer. It’s Monday morning. Your boss walks up, says “scrap the backlog, we’ve got a list of CVEs…

Treat AI as a stoner
The right mental model for working with an AI, according to my co-host David. If you’ve spent any real time with an AI, you know exactly what he means. The model can do impressive work in a tight scope. Step out of that scope, or feed it more than fits, and you’re suddenly explaining the…

What cf push actually does
When I see a platform engineering conference talk about building an internal developer platform on Kubernetes, I think about cf push. Cloud Foundry has been doing this – the actual thing, the single command that takes you from source code to running app – for more than a decade. People keep rebuilding it on top…

Don’t forget what I told you yesterday – AI memory and the mind palace – Tanzu Catsup
If you’ve spent any real time with Claude Code or Cursor, you know the feeling. The thing you told the agent five minutes ago is now optional as far as it’s concerned. The fix isn’t a smarter model. It’s architecture. This week David Zendzian and I dig into memory for AI agents – what it…

Art Degrees, Sun Microsystems, and How Kubernetes Scales Contributions, with Josh Berkus – Software Defined Interviews #121
Our interview for this week is up, it’s with Josh Berkus: Whitney and Coté discuss with Josh Berkus (Red Hat, Kubernetes contributor) how liberal and fine arts degrees (philosophy, photography, sculpture, pottery) apply to tech careers. Berkus details how early hardware experience influenced his database performance work, noting hardware’s renewed relevance with AI and multi-arch…

Does Platform Product Management & Design Really Happen? Or is it all just platform engineering? – Tanzu Catsup
Most organizations treat infrastructure as a series of projects to be “completed,” but successful platform engineering requires a permanent product mindset. In this episode, we explore why platform teams need dedicated product management to balance competing priorities—like security, cost, and developer experience—and why the “why” scales much better than the “what” in large enterprises. We…

Developers crave AI tools for various tasks beyond coding, but that’s only about 20% of their work. But, ops people freak out about security and control challenges, like cost, regulatory compliance, and usage tracking.

Why it’s great to be a Spring developer now, and how to make it even better – State of Spring, 2026
This is a talk I give at the start of Spring workshops we do. Here is the recording. The point is to show people that being a Java and Spring developers is fantastic right now. Here’s the description: Spring developers are in a strange position in 2026: everything is changing: AI, platform engineering, enterprise architecture.…

Your Boss Doesn’t Know What to Do With AI Enterprise AI Has a Product-Market Fit Problem. Enterprise AI isn’t stalled because the models are weak. It’s stalled because we haven’t discovered product-market fit inside the enterprise yet. You don’t find real AI value by theorizing in workshops. You find it by running experiments for months…

Tanzu Catsup: The Risk of Relying on AI for Platform Engineering
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…

How much does it cost to build an internal developer platform? – Tanzu Catsup
This week’s Tanzu Catsup is about how much you need to pay people to build your own internal developer platform: I think building your own platform is a terrible idea, especially for larger organizations. My co-host Tony ran the platform for Home Depot and now talks with other platform teams a lot, so I wanted…

This week’s Software Defined Talk: This week, we discuss the end of Cloud 1.0, AI agents fixing old apps, and Chainguard vs. Docker images. Plus, the mystery of Dutch broth is finally solved. I recommend the traditional podcast format.

This week’s Software Defined Interviews: we talk with Nathen Harvey, who leads the DORA research program at Google Cloud. They talk about what 15 years of DevOps and delivery data actually says about AI. The answer feels something like “it makes you even better at what you’re already good at.” High-performing teams get better, while…

This week’s Tanzu Catsup: AI tools have solved code generation, probably. But they’ve created a new constraint: Day 2 operations. When the volume of applications jumps 10x driven by a flood of “small” line-of-business apps manual “run teams” and traditional onboarding processes break down. Hey guys! Like and subscribe.

What do platform engineers need to do to prepare for a flood of AI-generated apps? If enterprises let loose “knowledge workers” with code generation, I think we’ll see 10x the amount of little applications out there. This is going to be a flood of Day Two problems for platform engineers, security, people, etc. So, on…

How to use AI for solo roleplaying with Dungeons & Dragons
Here’s my talk from AI for the Rest of Us: What the goblins can teach us about enterprise AI. // I’ve learned what agentic AI is by fighting goblins, talking with trolls, and buy custom made boots from gnomes. After a few years of playing solo D&D with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc., playing the role…
