“Geoff was an excellent architect for the 6 months that we worked on the same team. Even though he was very senior to me at the time, and I was new to the project, he still took my design suggestions very seriously, and made me feel as if my input was valued. What I really enjoyed was that Geoff was not reluctant to make use of newer software products and paradigms. I became familiar with a lot of different technologies in that time that benefit me to this day. It really was some of the most fun that I have had as a developer thus far. From a technical standpoint, he was a great resource for Java programming language features/best practices and general software design patterns. Any company would do well to have Geoff as an employee. He is a personable individual with a great attitude and a high level of technical expertise. Any engineers that have the opportunity to work with him should absorb all that they can; you'll learn a lot.”

Linearloop
Your CI/CD bill is not exploding because of “expensive runners,” it is bleeding out through flaky tests, over-parallelized jobs, and slow feedback loops that quietly tax every deploy This piece shows you how to redesign pipelines so you cut compute waste, shrink queues, and speed up developer flow without adding yet another approval gate or YAML religion Full breakdown in the comments. #DevOps #CICD #PlatformEngineering

Engineering managers: budget constraints, economic and political uncertainty, and the persistent burden of tech debt are all impacting how you lead your teams - not to mention the perception and usage of AI coding tools. The 2025 State of Engineering Management report uncovers research into all these areas. Tricia Gregg summarizes 3 takeaways from the SEMR: 🧭 Navigating Engineering Well-being and Productivity 🌊 Adapting to Evolving Workforce Dynamics 🤖 Embracing the Transformative Power of AI And she has also included considerations for each to tackle each head on here: https://lnkd.in/gS-QMYRF

Redis
Planned software maintenance shouldn’t break apps. Smart client handoffs in Redis Software and Redis Cloud keep apps online during maintenance by proactively reconnecting clients to new endpoints and temporarily relaxing timeouts until upgrades complete. The result: reliable, disruption-free maintenance for critical workloads. Read more in our blog and docs: - https://lnkd.in/gBbbNscA - https://lnkd.in/gfNwa-NK

Engineers prefer specialised tooling for tests, docs, and code reviews -> https://lnkd.in/drC-sgcn That preference creates a tension. Role specific tools help, but separate tools can break alignment. A “done” task means something different to an engineer than it does to a researcher, but both still need to land on the same common ground. So AI cannot only work on the last prompt. It must operate over shared state: intent, insights, and feedback signals, with role specific behaviour anchored to a unified truth underneath. This is why we are building Qi, a flow engine for human AI cooperation, to move upstream and anchor AI reasoning in authenticated shared state, provenance and trust signals, with humans able to challenge and refine outputs. -> Swipe to slide 5 for the specialisation versus alignment tension. Slide 6 lists the structural fix.

Stop blaming your CI/CD tools for being slow. Instead, change their job. Let your pipeline focus on component-level validation and move systemwide testing to developer canary testing. That’s how you break the bottleneck and unlock the true promise of microservices. By Arjun Iyer, thanks to Signadot
