He speaks regularly at KubeCon and CNCF events and co-hosts podcasts exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the engineering discipline.\nAfter many decades riding the waves of technology, he believes engineering isn't going away....it's evolving. Systems thinking, design thinking, architecture, pipelines, and human connection matter more than ever, even as the tools change around us.","pronouns":"","is_following":false,"is_you":false,"following_count":1,"discover_count":0},"author":{"name":"Michael Forrester","url":"https://peopleforrester.micro.blog/","avatar":"https://avatars.micro.blog/avatars/2026/04/1869645.jpg"},"items":[{"id":"86004330","content_html":"
