Europeans losing their shit about Trump. Everybody is starting to understand how bad this is. But we're still trying to blame random people instead of agreeing to face the real problem. Unchecked white supremacy.
Over 35% of people didn't bother to vote. They were happy to see Trump win.
Of the 64% that bothered, half voted Trump. They were happy to see him win.
So pretty much 70% of Americans were happy to see Trump win. That's the vast majority.
Uncomfortable facts are no less factual.

"AI Teammate," "AI coworker," we are all still grappling with how to talk about machines that might be genuinely good at their jobs, because we haven't quite figured out what that means for ours. Just don't expect it to bring bagels to standup 🥯 @redmonk.com redmonk.com/kholterhoff/...

10 Minutes of Progressive Delivery
Recently, I was lucky enough to be invited to present at the DORA community coffee chat. The discussion is the really amazing part of these conversations, but it also encouraged me to create a short version of our talk! In other awesome news this week, Progressive Delivery (the book) won the DevOps Dozen community award! Amazing.

@daniloc.xyz really enjoyed this post. I appreciate how you perpetually look to sincerely bring others in to your optimistic excitement for technology.
I like the idea and term ‘progressive disclosure’. I like the way it builds on the practice of iterative development and continuous improvement.

If you're a developer surrounded by people debating the utility of LLMs, you are being misled.
The advent of agents decisively settles the conversation. The real question is: how do you ship software that leverages their power?

How to Sunset a Feature (and Keep Your Users)
When we talk to teams about Progressive Delivery they are often most interested in learning how they can move faster without introducing technological jerk for their users. They want to innovate, but realize they also want to build the right thing for the right people at the right time. We love this. However it's also worth mentioning there is an upside down world to product delivery.

GenAI license costs are deceiving. The real expense is infrastructure, token usage at scale, specialized talent, and ongoing maintenance.
One SaaS company found 3x ROI from Copilot—but only after counting reduced debugging, faster onboarding, and lower maintenance costs.

Video and transcript of our talk from ETLS, on the basic concepts of Progressive Delivery, radical delegation, and adding users to the DevOps loop.
The Progressive Delivery Manifesto
One of the interesting problems of being immersed in something for years is that it feels really obvious to you. The curse of knowledge is real. So we were really excited to give a talk at IT Revolution's conference, the Enterprise Technology Leadership Summit. It gave us a chance to lay out our vision of what Progressive Delivery is, and what it may be in the future.

Navigating the Tech Jerks of 2025: A Snapshot of Acceleration in Action
We’ve always been fascinated by the concept of the “tech jerk”—that sudden, often uncomfortable change in the acceleration of a product or service that disrupts the user’s experience. Borrowed from physics, where jerk describes a change in acceleration (think of a lurching elevator or a car braking too hard), the term perfectly captures how poorly managed technological change can leave users feeling disoriented, frustrated, or even abandoned.
