I had a great time at #CloudAISummit2026 this week. But there was 1 thing that perpetually attempted to ruin my week. It seemed like many of the hallway track and lunch table sessions were wrapped around #DungeonCrawlerCarl. I'm only mid-way through book 3, and these people kept trying to spoil it.

My second #CloudAISummit2026 session is in the books. Got a lot of great feedback and questions. Really appreciate all the attendees and the conference for having me this year. It's a great conference and hopefully I'll get the chance to present again in the future.

For those of you who attended my session yesterday at #CloudAISummit2026 on GitHub Spec-Kit, the slide deck has been added to the repo: github.com/barretb/i..., as well as in the Cloud & AI Summit app under the session files.

While the food and the people have been great, the wifi at the hotel and conference center has been absolute crap. Remember speakers, be prepared with backup strategies when you go to present. My phone was my internet this morning. #CloudAISummit2026

BTW, if there's one thing casinos know, it's how to make good food. This is the best conference food I've ever had. Well done #CloudAISummit2026 

My Spec-Kit talk is in the books and I've eaten a good lunch. Now to decide what talks for the afternoon. #CloudAISummit2026

Presenting my first session at #CloudAISummit2026 this morning at 10:15 in Discovery Ballroom B.

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation

If you're at the conference, drop by and say hi! You may even learn something.

Real conversation I had in the elevator a little bit ago at my #CloudAISummit2026 hotel.
Woman: I see you're here for that Summit conference?
Me: Yep
W: Learning a lot?
M: Sure am. And I'll be presenting as well the next couple days
W: It's got the wrong name?
M: What do you mean?

QOTD: using AI doesn't make you a developer any more than buying power tools makes me a carpenter.

Now this is how you run a conference. Pepsi for the drinks and soda available at breakfast time and without needing tickets. Well done #CloudAISummit2026

If you're around the middle of the country, come see me speak next week at the Cloud & AI Summit 2026 conference. I'm giving two talks: One on GitHub Spec-Kit and the other on OpenTelemetry. Get the details and tickets at: www.cloudandaisummit... #cloudaisummit2026
