Last Friday, I had one of the most intellectually amazing experiences of my career: I got to do the following Idealcast interview (yes, they're coming back!) of Dr. Carliss Baldwin, the William L. White Professor of Business Administration, Emerita at the Harvard Business

I'll be at Microsoft Build next week. If you're also there, ping me and hopefully we can chat.

I'm building my schedule from Microsoft Build and it's pretty packed 3 days.

Gene just described this to me in an interview that I'll be posting soon. This is an "Ah Ha" moment for me.

I suspect MCP tools will be better if they are narrow and specific to a use case. Meaning a given agent has very specific tools that is only accessible in a context that is applicable.

Enjoyed this interview by Derek Comartin youtu.be/NBQdedQ0hZM?fe…

Talked with Gene Kim (author of The Phoenix Project and The DevOps Handbook) about Vibe Coding. But the real mind-blowing moment? His insights on modularity, boundaries, and coupling—and how they create real-world option value in system design.

When using ChatGPT (4o) to troubleshoot technical issues, it sure gives a lot of outdated information. Specifically working with Expo, almost everything it tells me isn't valid.

Most stuff about AI that I read on here..

If you’re working in a system that’s hard to change, it can be frustrating. Making a change in one part causes a bug or some negative side effect in another part that you had no idea about. What's the solution? Look at your database as the root cause. codeopinion.com/database-coupl…

Sat down with David Fowler to get his thoughts on Design, APIs, and Avoiding Dogma. A lot of insights packed into 30 minutes! youtube.com/watch?v=KfBvR4…

Tight coupling to the database = spaghetti code and pain. 🍝 Great read from Derek Comartin on how messaging, encapsulation, and boundaries can untangle your app and make it more maintainable. 🔗buff.ly/2IWR11j

When you need to scale your API, one of the first things developers often think about is, “Let’s just add a cache.” If API Caching were that simple. codeopinion.com/api-caching-do…

If multiple services write to the same tables, you don’t have distributed systems—you have distributed spaghetti.Derek Comartin explores why database coupling is a root cause of complexity and how to start untangling it. buff.ly/2IWR11j

You can be blissfully ignorant to coupling and get away with it. In large, long lived systems, no chance. It's all about tradeoffs around coupling. It's not bad, you need to manage it.
