Platform Engineering for Developers, Architects & the Rest of Us • Daniel Bryant • GOTO 2025

Daniel Bryant discusses platform engineering for software developers and architects, emphasizing treating platforms as internal products with developers as customers. He outlines a three-layered architecture, the evolution from monolithic systems to microservices, and the importance of 'golden bricks' over 'golden paths' for composability. Key takeaways include API-first design, minimizing cognitive load, avoiding leaky abstractions, and measuring success through frameworks like DORA and DevEx to achieve speed, safety, and scale.

The Benchmark With No Instructions — Tufa Labs (ARC-AGI-3)

Tim Scarfe visits Tufa Labs to explore their top-ranking ARC-AGI-3 system, a benchmark for agentic intelligence that challenges LLMs in goal discovery and action efficiency. The team delves into the complexities of fractured representations, the role of human priors, and whether LLMs truly plan or merely simulate it effectively, all while balancing the bitter lesson with AI safety concerns.

Infrastructure as Code • Kief Morris & Abby Bangser

Kief Morris, author of 'Infrastructure as Code', and Abby Bangser discuss the evolution of IaC over the past decade. They explore the move from server configuration to complex cloud architectures, the limitations of current tooling, and the need for higher-level abstractions, while also looking ahead to the potential impact of AI and the critical role of platform engineering in connecting infrastructure to specific business needs.
