Averages Lie, AI Washes, the IDE Loses Its Crown
Send a text message to the show!
You measure your systems with averages, your board deck is full of "AI," and you barely open your IDE anymore. Three things worth a second look — because each one is a signal, and the signal matters more than the noise.
In this solo episode, Simon makes the case for measuring at the tail instead of the mean (and why the 99th percentile is usually where the gold is), unpacks why AI washing is just cloud washing wearing a new label, and examines the quiet, seismic shift of the IDE losing its place as the developer's centre of gravity. The connective thread: when a core part of a value chain is fundamentally altered, pay attention — something is happening, and it's worth figuring out what.
Three observations, one habit of mind: know where to look.
Hosted by Simon Elisha — former AWS Chief Technologist, 35+ years in enterprise technology.
