Charity Majors

They may or may not, they may be aware of it or they may not be.

And I had this conversation with Charity Majors once where she said somebody just asked her like, So have you been diagnosed with ADHD or do you not realize yet? And that was actually how she found out that she had ADHD and then she went and got formally diagnosed.

I guess, what is your feeling about how it is strange to diagnose people when you're not actually a professional and what is your reaction to that situation?

Yeah, I have the personal perspective and professional as well.

I have a sticker on my laptop actually from Charity Majors, who, uh, helped found, well, wrote the book on observability, is really-

Mm-hmm

...

I

was listening to Charity Majors on the Pragmatic Engineer, and she highlighted that AI is fundamentally shifting operational workflows.

Definitely.

The Deep Learning AI Skills Map just proved this by synthesizing over 10,000 job postings.

And so if you can do that, I do believe that that could work.

Um, so the lady I've been talking to in observability, Charity Majors, she recommended to me that I look at the Phoenix Architecture by Chad Fowler, which is this whole series that he's written on regenerative software.

And that series was the first time, um, that, that someone convinced me that maybe it's a good idea to not let engineers write code anymore and only let them regenerate software from specifications.

Um, there is a lot...

There's some, some ready-made, um, uh, skills.

Those things are coming nowadays with, uh, with those tools like Codex.

Because Kara did use her name earlier, I will quote Charity Majors in a, a talk she gave at a conference I hosted and say, "That scares the hell out of me."

I'll tell you one harness provider name.
