Episode notes
Core Knowledge Still Matters
- Fundamental CS and systems knowledge remain the backbone of DevOps despite new tools and abstractions.
- Many changes are just new layers on existing problems, not wholly new problems.
Always Vet AI-Generated Code
- When using LLMs, review and validate generated code thoroughly instead of trusting it blindly.
- Expect to spend time refactoring or removing mock data and hallucinated details introduced by models.
DevOps Is Becoming The Baseline
- DevOps practices are becoming the default shape of high-performing teams rather than a separate movement.
- Tooling cycles (Kubernetes, AI) will settle into platforms you build on, not perpetual hype topics.
