Welcome to 2026! In this spontaneous Friday AMA, I take listener questions on ontologies, the “leaky abstractions” of AI coding tools, why the “button pusher” era of engineering is a professional dead end, and the shifting landscape of data engineering.
I also provides an update on my upcoming book, Mixed Model Arts (launching in March 2026), and discuss the unexpected convergence of library science, ontologies, and traditional data modeling, something not on my 2025 bingo card.
Great turnout, especially for no notice. Thanks to everyone who showed up!
