It was never about the code. That's it. That's the post.

As Kent Beck said a while ago: “The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage of the remaining 10% went up 1000x.” Writing code and organizing it professionally is no longer as expensive as it used to be. But that does not make engineering irrelevant.

Steve Yegge described AI adoption like this, and it feels painfully accurate. I'm at level 6 (for about 9 months). Still scared, but productive.

A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to speak at AI Summit Europe in Riga. The best part was not only the presentation, but the conversations before and after it. P.S. First time presenting in @Nuoxera T-shirt!

We are one. Honest take on my skills vs my model combination.

I'm happy to be joining AI Summit Europe 2026 in Riga as a speaker on 6-8 May 2026. I'll be talking about Redefining Development: Building Systems with AI and sharing my perspective on how AI is reshaping software engineering and system design.

I'm happy to be joining FlowCon 2026 in Paris as a speaker on 31 March and 1 April 2026. I'll be talking about Strategic PlatformOps with Wardley Maps, and sharing a few thoughts on how AI is changing the landscape. If these topics are close to your world, let's connect.

Next week I'll be attending KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam. At the moment I’m preparing my schedule and planning which talks to visit - with a strong focus on AI, platform engineering, and modern infrastructure.

Thrilled to be part of #PlatformCon2025! This year, I’m sharing a session titled “Strategic PlatformOps with Wardley Maps”. The talk explores the often-overlooked strategic layer of platform engineering. We’ll use Wardley Mapping to visualize the landscape of internal platforms.

It does not matter if you build an internal delivery platform for a small company or a big corporation, the principle that platform should be an enabler, not the blocker still stands.
