I was blown away when I saw Cynthia Erivo in the #colorpurple live almost a decade ago...

yesterday I saw #Wicked and I tried my best to no glorify her, but I failed... She is superhuman!

For all developers that are "only spending 1h per day" coding, please don't.

Typing is the most important part of our job.

No need to read, think, abstract, simplify and communicate with others.

Just type.

So be better and hire the #mythicalrocket

Linkin Park - From Zero Live in São Paulo Brasil 2024 YouTube video by Sorumbática

If watching on YT Linkin Park live with the Brazilian crowd is already so emotional, imagine for those who where there?

Concerts in Brazil have an unmatched vibe and something I do miss a lot...

Egoless Engineering It turns out misery is a shitty proxy metric.

If you though #amazon #nova was going to be like #titan, think again... I think the Nova Lite offers a really good switch spot of quality, speed and price.

Higher quality & way faster than llama3.1 70B, with a crazy low 0.1 USD per 1M tokens (vs 26.3USD per 1M token of o1-preview)... 🤯

It was published 8 months after the Transformers paper and 4 years before ChatGPT.

We still struggle a lot in measuring these intangible impacts on productivity that might arise from having Assistants/Copilots or just better search mechanisms... :-/

Brynjolfsson et al. wrote "AI Paradox and the Modern Productivity Paradox" in 2017 and concluded

"As AI and its complements more rapidly add to our (intangible) capital stock, traditional metrics like GDP and productivity can become more difficult to measure and interpret."

First we need 2 PIs to decide the background color of the elements and document it well on Visual Paradigm, Confluence and update our internal take on TOGAF.

It fits 4 PIs in a year... Q1, we do Context. Q2, Containers. Q3, Components. Q4, Code. At every PI we ask who is confident about it. Who isn't we tell them to "find solutions, not problems"

Hardest part when talking about Architecture Modernization with customers?

Making them step away from the "feature parity" / tech mindset and realize this is a sociotechnical problem, not a problem looking for a cloud/kubernetes/lambda solution.

My American family was in awe that I started my day in Belgium, had dinner in The Netherlands and slept in Germany… until they realized the journey was shorter than Manhattan-Albany 🙄

Yup, perspectives do matter 🤓

No FOMO this #reinvent2024 week... keynotes will be watched with laptop in one hand, pizza in the other. I call this active-active configuration.

Musk fanboys claim X runs smoothly with 90% less staff 🤮

No fricking way...
- way less people use Twitter nowadays (10%-20% less DAU)
- no moderation means harmful content being disseminated
- search is now horrible
- deleted posts bug that reappear
- ...

Pls, stop idolizing a toxic person!

Is it real that a Stanford research talks about “ghost engineers” as people that don’t push commits or based that on some questions as “how long would you take to do this?”.

The best proxy for his “productivity findings” is LoC… fantastic

One week later I have so many questions from others and myself as:

"what is an enterprise technology leader?"
"do we know what defines decision-making or not?"
"what are these work practices here? Can you define it?"
"Digital Transformation is a loaded term... what is your definition?"

🥵

The beauty of doing research again... after weeks reading, talking & all I drafted my Research Question...

"How do enterprise technology leaders incorporate generative AI tools into their decision-making processes and work practices during digital transformation initiatives?"

Done right?

The @anthropic.com and #AWS deal is brilliant if it actually moves towards inferentia and trainium…

Because then we will have way more efficient and sustainable workloads than now 💚

I never felt older and more clueless than the "holding space" memes about Wicked's defying gravity...

I mean, I'm almost 40 but the world didn't have to shove it down my throat...

I'm not a #LOL fan, but wow...

Having freaking #LinkinPark announcing the teams & showing the trophy with that epic Emily' scream is :chefskiss: :muaah!:

Now I want a Champions League final bringing the players to the field with them as well :-P
