xOPS: Transdiciplinary approach to incorporating AI into the Software For today, I’m going to define ๐˜…๐—ข๐—ฝ๐˜€ as ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ข๐—ฝ๐˜€ + ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ข๐—ฝ๐˜€ + ๐— ๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—ฝ๐˜€. Why though? Because the integration of AI capabilities into our software requires more than traditional DevSecOps. I’ve spent decades architecting software solutions for complex challenges, I’ve learned that pragmatism, integration, and flexibility are paramount. ๐˜…๐—ข๐—ฝ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ป’๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐˜†; it’s a transdisciplinary mindset that integrates the ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€ of DevSecOps, DataOps, and MLOps.

Hello friends, itโ€™s been a long timeโ€ฆโ€™23 was quite a rollercoaster for me personally and professionally. I am so thankful for the support of my network, my family, and my friends. I am ready for โ€˜24! The question is, are you tired of hearing about AI yet? Iโ€™m personally tired of the deluge of generated blog posts with all the embedded unicode emojis. That said, 2024 will be more exciting, innovative, and possibly dangerous than 2023.

Discovering Grace Hopper: An Overdue Epiphany

I've dedicated my career to technology and to software architecture in specific. Why, then, did I only learn about Grace Hopper as I entreed another decade into my career??

This Reference Architecture is No Good --> What is an RA?

A software reference architecture is a common abstraction or standardization of design that can be reused. Abstraction is the key and it serves as a guide for designing and building software systems in a particular domain.
