Your free credits are leading to a 30-person nightmare

May 1, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Before I worked in tech, I worked in logistics. I saw a specific pattern repeat itself at office supply companies over and over, until I could see it coming before the customer did. The pattern went like this. A small office supply company would sell paper and pens to local businesses. One day a customer asked, "can you deliver a box of paper?" The salesperson said yes, drove the box over in their car after work, and thought nothing of it. The customer told their friend.

What happens when you delete everything? Three minutes, or thirty hours.

Apr 30, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Last year, at the annual conference for an open source framework you've definitely heard of, I walked up to the founder in a room outside the main stage. He was hunched over his laptop, frantic. We've known each other for a few years. "What's going on? Is everything okay?" He looked up with the specific shade of white people only get when they realize they've made a big mistake.

DORA Metrics in the AI Era: Why Deployment Isn't Faster

Apr 30, 2026 By GitKraken In GitKraken
DORA metrics in the AI era reveal a paradox: PR volume is climbing, but deployment frequency is staying flat. In this talk, GitKraken's Director of Product Jeff Schinella breaks down why AI-accelerated code generation is creating a review bottleneck that your DORA metrics can't fully explain on their own. Jeff walks through how PR metrics (cycle time, first response time, code churn, and PR size) serve as the leading indicators behind your DORA data. If your deployment frequency is flat while PR counts go up, the bottleneck isn't your devs. It's your review capacity.
