AI Won't Replace You. Someone Using It Will.

AI isn’t about replacing engineers. It’s about leverage. The teams that win will be the ones that: Triage incidents faster Correlate signals automatically Reduce manual investigation Automate repetitive operational work In observability, that means asking: AI won’t eliminate expertise, it amplifies it. The real risk isn’t AI taking your job. It’s competitors using AI to operate at a speed and efficiency you can’t match.

Decoding design: How design and engineering thrive together in open source

Open source thrives on engineering-driven processes. Fast feedback loops, terminal tools, Git workflows: they’re the lifeblood of how we build software in the open. But for software to truly excel, we need to create user experiences that empower people to use them. I wanted to bring this conversation into the spotlight as part of Canonical’s Open Design initiatives. What better way than at FOSS Backstage 2026 Berlin?

Same team, but building more ft. Chris Kelly of Augment Code

Most teams obsessing over token costs are measuring the wrong thing. The real savings from AI aren't in lines of code written faster. They're in the coordination overhead that disappears when fewer humans need to align before anything gets built. Chris Kelly, Head of Product at Augment Code, joins Rob to cover why prototypes have replaced specs, how agents enable dynamic team capacity the way cloud replaced over-provisioned servers, and what "good code" even means when your primary reader is an LLM. In this episode.
