question of today: in the age of agentic engineering, what’s an appropriate headcount for a product engineering team? PM vs engineering vs design vs QA
E

it really depends on the industry you are in and the product you are building... If you answer those, I may be able to tell you :)

Here's one possibility with just 4: - PM with tech background, business analyst, knows how to work stakeholders - UI/UX/devops/automation with backend experience, vision, knows how to deliver - 2 data/backend/automation devs, know how to scale/orchestrate data pipelines and get…

At my last job we used snyk org-wide, and I implemented aikido safe-chain in my team’s processes as well

I’ve been using an open source project - Dependancy Track. It handles our SBOMs. We have other tools underneath that our sysadmins manage

building a local MCP relay that didn’t seem to have an equal currently out in the market. it centralizes all third-party MCP configuration and authentication. you can load all or filtered list as well as let your harness dynamically load them on demand. anyone interested in…

herdbot is now installable with homebrew herdbot gives each bot its own herdr workspace, instructions, memory and skills. a bot can delegate a task and open the subagent in a neighboring pane, so you can watch the work and step in when needed. the router sends work to claude,…

@tom what's your take on /dev/null's behavioral and visual connection to git?

sitting here watching herdbot build herdbot. i spent the afternoon writing full implementation plans for everything left on the server and orchestration side, and now the dev bot is working through them. there's pi over its built-in mcp and rooms for group bots, plus hooks so…

grok bot hit 100% of my plan this weekend, so i'm building my own version on top of herdr. herdbot runs the same bots with the same instructions and schedules, except each bot gets its own herdr workspace and opens panes for its subagents. every task routes to claude, codex,…
