Agents write the code now. Someone still has to decide what ships.
Jared and I are excited to announce our new company @darkshiftio to change how software is built and run. Our product Infrared 0.1 is out: the agentic software and infrastructure factory. Agents do the work. People stay in charge.
Meet Darkshift and the 0.1 release of our new product Infrared, the agentic software and infrastructure factory.
Agents plan, build, test, review and ship. You decide what changes and what reaches production.
From the founders behind @kubefirst, @konstructio, and Colony. 🧵

We are on the verge of confirming a venue and date for the first meetup second's life of Cloud Native New York, which will be the end of February. With that in mind, it's time for us to find amazing speakers who would like to present a technical topic around cloud native. The talks will be 30 minutes long, to give something that can please to all attendees.
Whether you are a veteran speaker, or have less experience, we welcome you at this meetup. We are also looking for introduction topics as with more advanced ones so everyone finds something that resonates with them.
If you are interested, whether for February or future meetups, DM me here or send me an email at [email protected]

i can't believe my eyes 😍 - multicloud gitops clusters are alive in our development environment. the @kubefirst team at @konstructio is making my literal dreams come true 💥
#gitops #multicloud #idp #argocd #crossplane #kubernetes #kubefirst #relentless
the engineers at @konstructio just pulled me in a room, they're about to unlock multicloud gitops platforms. we've long supported multiple clouds but it's really quite different when you can use them together. we've wanted this ability the whole time, it's so exciting. 🚀🌔
