I do not think it will shock anyone to learn that big tech is aggressively pushing AI products. But the extent to which they have done so might. The sheer ubiquity of AI means that we take for ground the countless ways, many invisible, that these products and features are foisted on us—and how Silicon Valley companies have systematically designed and deployed AI products onto their existing platforms in an effort to accelerate adoption.

The role of the IC (Individual Contributor) is evolving fast—and AI is accelerating the shift. As AI tools become deeply integrated into development workflows, many engineers find themselves stepping into responsibilities once reserved for engineering managers. This isn’t a hypothetical trend—it’s already happening in high-performing teams.

REST wasn’t designed for modern APIs. It was a retrospective description of how early web browsers talked to HTTP servers — formalized by Roy Fielding to finish his PhD. It explained how the Web worked in the 90s, not how your API should work in 2025.

What we do today should probably be called JOHUR instead (JSON over HTTP, URL-based Routing).

The OpenCLI specification (OCS) defines a standard, platform and language agnostic interface to CLI applications which allows both humans and computers to understand how a CLI tool should be invoked without access to source code or documentation.

An OpenCLI Description can be used by documentation software to display usage of a tool, or code generation tools to create clients for interoping with a CLI tool.
