We refused to let our AI agent touch anything for five months.
That decision is the whole talk. My Open Source Summit Europe session is now online.

Open Source Summit Europe, Prague. On stage: a Sambalpuri jacket from Odisha.
In the bandha weave, every thread is tie-dyed before it’s woven, and has to land exactly where it was planned.
Felt right for a talk about quality that lasts.
Six earlier talk proposals, six topics, none selected. The seventh was our real product journey. That one got in.
Patience is a weaver’s skill too.
Six talk submissions, six topics, none selected.
The seventh was our real product journey, failures included. That one got in.
Linux at 35. Prague’s clock, ticking since 1410. Things last when the quality is real and you keep showing up.
#OSSummit
Prague, Friday 11:55 AM.
Closing the loop on cloud cost with Crossplane, Argo Workflows and OpenTelemetry, and the five months we didn't let the agent act.

Bought this calculator 24 years ago during engineering.
24 years later, it still works.
No updates.
No subscription.
No cloud.
No AI.
Just engineering.
Honestly, I’m not sure we make things this durable anymore.
This Nokia N8 is from another era.
It still turns on.
No subscription.
No AI assistant.
No 14 cameras.
No “your storage is full” notification.
Just a phone that did phone things and apparently refuses to die.
We didn't upgrade phones back then. We replaced them when they lost a fight with gravity.

150+ folks showed up on a Wednesday night 🇳🇱
@WeMakeDevs co-hosted the AGNTCon Preday Meetup in Amsterdam last night, the AI community here is buzzing.
Thanks to all the speakers and communities for making it happen. Shoutout to @DanaFine7 and team for being incredible partners.
Where to next? India for the Bharat Builds series with AWS! 🇮🇳

When PyTorch meets Linux 🐧🔥

Your cloud bill doesn’t need another dashboard.
It needs legs.
I’m speaking at #OSSummit Europe in Prague about building trustworthy agentic FinOps that can move from:
observe → reason → approve → act → verify
without handing the keys to an AI and hoping for the best.
The Bill That Fixes Itself
9 October · 11:55 AM
If you're there, come and disagree with me.
FinOps has spent years telling humans what went wrong.
What if it started fixing things?
That’s what I’ll be talking about in Prague:
Cloud-agnostic Agentic FinOps.
AWS. Azure. GCP.
One agent.
Less waste.
More action.
October 9
Open Source Summit Europe.
Most FinOps work ends at a recommendation a human may or may not apply.
And applied savings drift back the moment someone bumps a SKU in a console.
We built something from a real problem. We open-sourced the thinking around it. And now the Linux Foundation community has invited us to bring that story to Prague.
Speaking at Open Source Summit Prague, 9 Oct, on closing that loop and on what has to be true before you let software close it.

every CKA/CKS practice lab I tried runs kind. fake nodes, no systemd, no real kubeadm
the real exam runs kubeadm. so I built a simulator k16s that does too. break it, fix it, get graded live. free, self-hosted
