An agent can help customize your software. Keeping that fork compatible with upstream is an ongoing job. On @opensourceready, Madelyn Olson explores why personalized software still benefits from shared standards and communities. Tune in! hubs.ly/Q04y53qS0

No rest after DevGuild 👻 On Tue Oct 6, three infra leaders share their worst AI and agentic nightmares at Haunted Agent + Infra Horror Night with @SiliconVlyBank during #SFTechWeek. luma.com/infra-horror-night

On episode 12 of Third Loop, the Progressive Delivery team sits down with Steph Hippo (@stephhippo) to explore platform engineering for humans and their robot buddies. From natural-language queries to AI spending limits, Steph shares how Honeycomb (@honeycombio) supports new ways of working while keeping reliability and user value in focus. hubs.ly/Q04xZ4lX0

On episode 59 of Generationship, @rachelchalmers joins Emily Long and Alex Zenla for a conversation about the engineering and human judgment behind Edera. From Emily’s background in people and operations to Alex’s early career in open source, they explain how complementary expertise shapes their approach to building secure infrastructure. hubs.ly/Q04xJcFS0

A truly 🔥 room last Thursday at DevGuild. A huge thank you to everyone who came and especially to our speakers and roundtable facilitators 🙏🏼 🎥 Talk videos coming to Heavybit.com 🎉 Show + Tell winners took home credits from @LightningAI, @baseten and @neondatabase

DevGuild today confirms it’s one of the highest signal AI events you can go to in SF > Next time you hear about it, attend < Everyone I talk to is doing something interesting. Low level of hallucination Props to @heavybit and crew

Today. DevGuild: The Long Horizon Stack is live in San Francisco. Organizational memory, goal orchestration, durable execution, learning, and the toolchain.

Congrats to our Software Factory Show & Tell winners at DevGuild! And a big thank you to our judges @swyx, @dexhorthy, and @tylerjdunn, and to our sponsors @LightningAI, @baseten, and @neondatabase for furnishing the prizes.

come chat with us about agent control planes / managed agents at @heavybit devguild!

more conferences could implement this. so much high value time wasted without thought

“Every business, when it is successful, can be expressed as an equation.” - food for thought by @dotta of @paperclipai at #devguild by @heavybit

TIL about the #ponytail skill - so good! Thanks for the tip, @tyleredwas (CEO @tryovermind) #devguild @heavybit github.com/DietrichGebert/po…

“Inference is a really unsexy problem” :) - @mudithj at #devguild by @heavybit “Is it though?!” - moderator Michelle Yi of @generationship (and me in the audience :))

The most value came to those who used a mixture of models as agents went from talkers to doers - Rob Ferguson @togethercompute From the same chat - “over 90% of time is spent in cleaning or gathering right data points” At DevGuild by @heavybit

Starting the day at #devguild with a math discussion by @amirzo , partner at @heavybit, teeing up the conversation about long horizon agents. Good to be back, listening and learning from deep thinkers.

On episode 43 of @opensourceready, @bdougieYO and @johncodes speak with Madelyn Olson. The @valkey_io maintainer and AWS principal engineer explains how AI is changing open source contributions, code review, and the work of keeping shared infrastructure reliable. They also explore Valkey’s origins, semantic caching, and why community governance still matters when anyone can customize the code. hubs.ly/Q04y4_Zw0
