A fleet of devices emitting telemetry once per second does not produce big messages. It produces an enormous number of tiny, nearly identical ones. Each reading is under 100 bytes of JSON, but 5,000 devices at one reading per second is 432 million messages a day and roughly 40 GB of payload. The aggregate volume crossing your message broker gets expensive fast: in network capacity, in broker th...

I decided using an Opus 5 local agent to upgrade my code review agents from Opus 4.8 to Opus 5 would be a low risk way to experience the new models. The upgrade seemed simple. One...

Most sprint planning meetings follow a familiar pattern.
Work gets divided up. Owners volunteer for different pieces. Infrastructure starts talking about new environments, and QA begins thinking through test cases. Before long, it feels like everything has been accounted for.
Then someone asks a simple question. It may not be exactly phrased like this but it amounts to asking th...
A year ago, our team embarked on an aggressive exploration of agentic AI in DevOps, driven by management’s enthusiasm. The results? A stark divide between tools that delivered tangible value and those that introduced inefficiency or risk. This isn’t a story of AI’s failure but a pragmatic lesson in selective adoption. The m...
