Something wild is happening - a SaaS renaissance that's absolutely insane. Take Wiz - these absolute madlads hit $100M ARR in 18 months! For comparison, it took Snowflake 5 years to do that (still respect them tho). And Kong? They're basically building the highways for the entire internet. Their API platform is fundamental technology, like having electricity for your house. Obviously crucial, but most people don't even think about it lol. First principles FTW 🚀 Dinosaurs are about to go extinct.🦖

Predictions for DORA & SPACE 2025
By 2025, DORA and SPACE frameworks will evolve to address emerging priorities in software delivery—speed, security, sustainability, and satisfaction. DORA metrics will expand to include AI-driven contributions, environmental impact, and resilience, while SPACE will adapt to hybrid work, emphasize psychological safety, and incorporate sustainability into team satisfaction. Unified dashboards combining system performance with human well-being will become standard, leveraging AI for deeper insights. However, challenges like data privacy, standardization, and change management will require careful navigation. The future lies in using these frameworks not just as tools but as philosophies to build sustainable, inclusive, and high-performing software systems.
Beyond Transformers
Transformers are a vast ocean of AI potential, reshaping how machines process language and solve problems. Yet, beneath their brilliance lie challenges we must navigate. Their insatiable hunger for data raises questions of sustainability and bias, while their limited memory struggles to connect ideas across complex contexts—like recalling verses of a poem but losing its meaning. These systems, though powerful, often operate as enigmatic black boxes, demanding interpretability and ethical oversight. But history teaches us that every challenge is an invitation to innovate. Beyond transformers lies an uncharted frontier, where the quest for intelligence promises to redefine what’s possible.
