I’m a little hesitant to share an article I’ve written in the company of so many great writers but the past two ETLS conferences have really inspired a bit of a professional renaissance in me and I wanted to get some of my thoughts down about where and how I see our place in the middle of this technological revolution. What help am I looking for? Honestly just conversations with other optimistic people (pessimists are also welcome as long as they are open minded ;) ) I wrote this to capture the conversations I’ve been having with my team members as we barrel ahead on our agentic AI journey and to inspire hope and excitement (the same emotions I felt from day 0 at the vibe coding workshop onwards this year at ETLS) I took some big swings and tried to coin some new terms and I have no idea how or if they will be received but I just couldn’t contain my excitement about this topic at this point and just had to get something out! Thank you to anyone that reads it and I hope you find some value in it! I am so proud to be a member of such an inspiring community and I’m looking forward to talking with you all again! I really hope this slack stays active throughout the year, I love hearing all of your thoughts! https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/dont-fear-automaton-become-architect-continuous-guide-josh-phillips-yh89e?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&utm_campaign=share_via

Also I stole that picture from @jonathansmart1 I think (sorry Jon it was the only picture I had on my new laptop after taking a screenshot of it from your article, happy to change it if it’s a problem!)
