Invest in your process maturity or you won't get the best value out of your AI initiatives. At least, that's what I took out of the 2026 State of DevOps report!
Join Robin, Nico and I for our chat about the report!

Frustrating night. Tests timing out. APIs not returning values. Infinite handler loops throwing console errors.
Usually I can constrain the agentic mess with tight review, but no luck for me tonight. Nice to be problem solving and debugging, though!
Wish I could get these green!
As most of the COVID -safe/-aware community can tell you, try wearing a mask everywhere & declining indoor eating invitations and then see how many friends you have left.
This is really profound. Communities have to become self-regulating healthy groups, and in a technical context where healthy communities aren't encouraged, you really need to be a counter-culture force to do this. People do it, but it would be a lot easier if we valued it a lot more
congratulations Ed, you successfully nerdsniped me into trying to benchmark this question! how well does Claude actually do on various languages? vivsha.ws/blog/stress-...

thinking about how many more people are using the CLI, are using tmux, are interested in API access to services, are building their own little tools and dashboards and integrations. kind of a failure on the part of programming that it took AI to make this stuff accessible to people.
This is a great thread on changes we are seeing in people suddenly wanting to do more challenging and technical work who previously have not.
I see this everywhere in my field and social circles. I do it myself. I'm trying things I never would have tried before, because I *think* I can now.
Some recent posts, like ones I've seen from Charity Majors at Honeycomb, speak to how the data about real production instrumentation is going to be the driver for AI success. That's one of the things I want to think more about is how that relates to what I saw in the State of DevOps report.

If people haven't done the hard work to figure out how best to deliver software and applications in a repeatable process, AI isn't going to save you.
(3/x)
AI tools work best with structured processes, lots of data, plenty of tooling it can gain access to. If everything is chaotic, one-off, manual stuff... that doesn't give much room for gains from an AI tool. Might be a good place to do DevOps better, then put AI stuff using that.

I went through the State of #DevOps report and I have... thoughts. I still need to crystallize some of my opinions on what I saw in this report, but I was interested in the heavy correlation between "mature DevOps" and "AI successful".
I'm not surprised. (1/x)

Iβve been working toward this for years, and it finally happened.
Canada now has a parliamentary petition to require secure coding in federal software. If you care about cybersecurity, public safety, and better government tech, please sign:

I'D JUST LIKE TO INTERJECT FOR A MOMENT. WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO AS LINUX IS IN FACT GNU/LINUX, OR AS I'VE RECENTLY TAKEN TO CALLING IT, GNU PLUS LINUX. LINUX IS NOT AN OPERATING SYSTEM UNTO ITSELF, BUT RATHER ANOTHER FREE COMPONENT OF A FULLY FUNCTIONING GNU SYSTEM
New CVE-2026-0969 in MDX Remote popped up. I hadn't realized it was an issue, npm audit and dependency-bot hadn't reported anything, but Vercel suddenly stopped letting me deploy last night. Easy enough fix to update to 6.0.0!

#Puppet Enterprise Advanced has new #MCP tools available with the latest releases, but how do you get them to work with your IDE? In my latest video, I share learning how to use VS Code with #Copilot to generate a new Puppet module (and some failures along the way).

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it
My husband and I have been really into binging reality television lately. One thing we've noticed is that all of the random production assistants wear medical masks when interacting with the cast. There is a reason for that. Don't let the media convince you that it's extreme to protect your health.
This is inevitably coming to pretty much any channel where age verification is going to be required for certain content. This won't be a big hit to Discord communities that keep things accessible to any age audience, but I can imagine this is going to cause a stir...
Canada is one step closer to mandatory secure coding in government software.

YOU CANNOT GRIND THE BONES OF YOUR ENEMIES INTO DUST TOMORROW IF YOU DO NOT DO YOUR STRETCHES.
I would actually be really interested in seeing the output of the reports of that "impact-evidence". The fact it looks at bugs, and also AI usage vs human-written code, could yield some interesting data on whether AI code generation provides the results needed. And have a good scale of data inputs.
I like it! It fits in with things like config drift for infrastructure, and likely falls into the same sort of compliance validation that needs to happen on systems and apps that are in operation.
