Jörn's ramblings on Audi, Agile development, DevOps, Cloud Computing, Industrial IoT, Innovation, Mobility services & Sharing economy.
Author: Mustafa Kapadia Despite all the hype about DevOps, little has been written on a formal DevOps strategy. Too often DevOps initiatives starts with tooling discussion and gets stalled in technology. The larger vision...
Wow. Uber's Android app has more than 10M lines of code today. Uber v1 on launch had ~10K. Via @tsmith on his Mobile Developer Productivity at Uber Scale talk at Droidcon 2022. There's so much business logic, features, edge cases, and additional products behind the scene... pic.twitter.com/GHwIfREtOl
Apple's visionOS significantly limits how applications are allowed to interact with the user, especially re: their new gaze-based input, and I think it's worth talking about. TL;DR: If you want to do AR apps, you must give Apple full rendering control. 🧵

There is a popular Apple Pie Position, which goes: “If you don’t measure it, you cannot improve it” This belief is often harmful on early-stage teams. This is more accurate: “If you don’t measure it, you cannot prove to some people that you improved it” Impact vs. Optics… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
10 years of my life was building software companies. My last one sold for $100M. I doubt I’ll ever return to pure-play software. So here are my cheat codes:
Swiss officials reported to our study group that ridership has fully recovered in Switzerland - it now *exceeds* 2019 levels. They explained, it's not because the Swiss didn't embrace remote work– a significant share of Swiss are still working from home many days, commuting less. pic.twitter.com/fGw1eQjVrf
Why I don't use Scrum to manage my Remote Teams? TL;DR: It adds at least 8 hours of meetings per Sprint. That's 2 full days of time wasted, per team member, per month! This is what I do instead:

One of the most bullish / exciting things I've seen on Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta 11.4.1. It detected the pedestrian, but rather than slamming on the brakes it just proceeded through like a human would knowing there was enough time to do so. pic.twitter.com/8GISp4jYGp
I had to LOL at this :) pic.twitter.com/hQ7UWV0ofK
Most PMs suck at persuasion. I did. My "rock-solid" arguments always fell on deaf ears. Then I learned how to direct others' attention where I needed it *before* my arguments. Everything changed. This is "pre-suasion" and it's immensely powerful. 🧵👇 (+ bonus AI megaprompts)
In Big Tech companies, technical decisions are often more nuanced than many engineers realize and are not always based on pure technical merit. Here's a list of things I've actually seen and had to deal with. 🧵

I have extensively played with LLM AI (ChatGPT) and Stable Diffusion GNN the last two months. Both in professional (work in IT Security), social media (this account), and creative projects (writing/illustration I'm working on). These are my ~layperson thoughts. 🧵
Listen to this AI generated song featuring Drake & The Weeknd. It goes so damn hard. It's by "Ghostwriter977" on TikTok and it's blowing up on socials + streaming platforms. UMG, which controls around 1/3 of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… pic.twitter.com/roz2EfI48M
Be careful. Most "products" are, in fact, projects. 9 red flags (and how it should work): 1. You start your initiative by writing a large PRD. 2. Your goal is to implement the requirements (features). 3. You have an Analyst who collects them all in the "initial phase." 4.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This is probably the most impressive video I have seen this year. "Ice Ice Baby" sung and acted(!) by the cast of Matrix (1999). And Wilford Brimley for some reason. Generative AI is incredible. The video part freaks me out, especially. youtube.com/watch?v=gnEIeV…

While obvious in retrospect, GitHub's original pricing model of unlimited free public repos and paid private repos took weeks to develop. We were so focused on building the product during the beta that we didn't spend a lot of time thinking about how to charge for it.
A common pattern that I am observing happening more. Team’s consistent hard work that leads to successful project deliveries is often overlooked. But… Last-minute sprints and firefighting to save a derailed project are highly praised. What you praise is what you get

Human activities have transformed the planet at a pace and scale unmatched in recorded history, causing irreversible damage to communities and ecosystems, according to one of the most definitive reports ever published about climate change. wapo.st/3Z1e2CU
Yesterday's GPT-4 launch was **crazy** 🔥 After discussing w/ colleagues and taking some time to collect my thoughts, Here are the top 3 things GPT-4 enables that were previously impossible or extremely difficult to achieve – including examples 👇
Today I met with the Global Media team to discuss Generative AI. The excitement was insane! Never seen a topic like this at work before. Here are the 14 examples of AI in Media I shared with them & why: 🧵
