GitHub, in 2026, will be busy building and shipping what Graphite already nailed years back - stacked diffs! Here's a rundown on why stacking is so important (honestly never understood why GitHub ignored it till now!) newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/stacked-diffs

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@anandmahindra It still took me 8 minutes to find the 8 in middle of 8 diamonds. sad…

Free Certification Courses from IBM! Did you know that IBM offers an incredible collection of high-quality courses for FREE! IBM has top-notch courses in Cloud, Data Science and more. A Thread 🧵👇

Kaggle has top-notch courses, and most people have never heard about them. I love them for two reasons: First, they are ideal for someone wanting to learn something from the beginning. Courses don't assume much and will teach you from scratch. And second, they all take only a few hours. This means you can try something new without a huge commitment. These courses are like an appetizer: their goal is to get you hungry for the entreé. The downside, of course, is that you'll need a bit more. If you are looking for "The Ultimate Course," look elsewhere. If you are okay starting with a small bite, look at these. All of their courses are related to programming and data science. Here are my five favorites: 1. Intro to Machine Machine Learning 2. Intermediate Machine Learning 3. Data Cleaning 4. Data Visualization 5. Feature Engineering To find these courses, you can go to Kaggle's site and find the Learn section. I don't link to it, because Twitter doesn't like links. Hope they help!

@svpino Thanks for sharing the amazing resources! For anyone interested, I’ve interviewed many top ranked Kagglers and made about 75+ videos connected to Kaggle in some way 🙏

@ibuildthecloud It’s sad to hear that you had such a horrible experience onboarding to the CDK. We built it with the goal of making it much easier to use AWS, and it sounds like you had the opposite experience. Curious if you saw cdkworkshop.com?
