Did 3 months just feel like 3 years?

Mar 09, 2026

No, this newsletter wasn't broken, I was just heads-down working on a bunch of stuff for you 🥳. Expect a big increase in newsletters as I catch you up with a new series of releases.

(Notice the newsletter is coming from my new webhost, with email bretfisher@y.kajabimail.net)

There's been a shift in the quality of the frontier AI models since November (starting with Claude Opus 4.5) that has all my friends talking. If it were even possible, the rate of change feels like it's shifted into a higher gear over the last three months.  I'll be talking more about this in one of the next few emails, but it's a good and bad situation in many ways.

For this email, let's just get you caught up with my content releases.

AI-Native Kubernetes: What Does it Mean?
Join my stream Thursday 6/4/26 with guests from OpenChoreo, a new CNCF Kubernetes "AI abstraction" with built-in agents and all the fixin’s for managing K8s with agents. KubeCon has been talking about AI in every keynote since the launch of ChatGPT, but it wasn't what you think. Before that moment in consumer AI, the language of AI was MLOps-specific and rarely highlighted at KubeCon. Soon aft...
The AI cost flip-flop
More "devil in the details" of AI engineering is starting to surface. Subscriptions are getting more expensive or offering less, model APIs have frequent outages, costs are skyrocketing once engineering teams fully adopt it, AI has limited effects on productivity due to it exposing downstream bottlenecks (PR reviews) that take humans to solve, and even "firing AI and hiring devs" was reported l...
All my podcasts and streams from March
I'm sorry you haven't heard from me on new videos and podcasts lately. A bunch has happened, so here's a catch-up post. I've been heads down for the last month building course videos and an upcoming workshop for the Agentic DevOps Guild, which just passed 4 weekly meetups and 30 members sharing their AI experience with each other. It's been amazing. Today on my Thursday Stream: Anyshift AI SRE ...
