Many routes could lead to dead ends and many detours could end up being loops. In this semi-comedy talk I share some examples of how processes fail for engineering teams that I observed through my career, using two pillars of the Internet culture - memes and numbered lists. Marcin Gasperowicz Reality Check: AI DevOps is Here – What Agents Can (and Can’t) Do, and the Evolving Role of DevOps Engineers This talk explores the real-world impact of AI in DevOps—what autonomous agents can already handle, where they still fall short, and how DevOps engineers can adapt and focus on higher-value work. Audience: DevOps engineers, engineering managers, and technical leaders, CTOs. Takeaway: A clear-eyed view of what AI DevOps means today and practical guidance on where humans add the most value. Fishbowl AI in DevOps: A **fishbowl** [conversation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation "Conversation") is a form of [dialogue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialogue "Dialogue") that can be used when discussing topics within large groups. Fishbowl conversations are sometimes also used in participatory events such as [unconferences](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference "Unconference"). The advantage of fishbowl is that it allows the entire group to participate in a conversation. Several people can join the discussion. We often hear, using AI in DevOps as done in the Dev space will not work, and others say, we are already doing it. Let us discuss and learn together. ➡️ Interested in speaking at an upcoming event?
