Thinking of Codebases as Cities There is something about cities that feels alive. Not alive in the biological sense, but alive in the way a conversation is alive, or a culture, or a memory. I wonder if codebases are the same. The Seed of the Idea Devon Zuegel introduced me to urban design thinking. Christopher Alexander’s “A Pattern Language” has been on my reading list for a…
This is taken from my nomination that I’ve made for myself for the Technical Lead role of the newly formed CNCF’s Technical Advisory Group (TAG) of Developer Experience [link]. I was chosen and I can’t be more excited to give back to CNCF for all of the things that has made possible upon me, and to work on enhancing Developer Experience on CNCF projects.

Will keep this list alive for a while in case there are new ones that I got. Proper width of abstraction Premature optimization is the root…
Platform engineering has taken the infrastructure community by the storm in the recent days. Various talks on the recent KubeCons are mostly all about platform, on par with talks on AI.

Even though that I am currently working on the infrastructure and platform…
All the best people that I had pleasure working with on my professional journey both have the same characteristic. They leverage/support/sponsor others from where they’re positioned. This position that I am referring to apply to both level-wise (managerial (manager, director), or even Individual Contributor (architect)), or role-wise (QA, product manager, designer, engineer, SRE). There are…
Back in my previous company, I felt stuck. I was in a team where there were various features being built that it wasn’t used even once after being pushed to production, and I think it’s on the weirder case since it was an internal tooling team expected to be used by other operations coworkers so I thought that this kind of problem should have a lesser chance to exist in the first place…
