New Year’s Letter 2026

Dear Grandpa, Grandma, Godmother, Godfather dear,
We hope you’re all well as we start this new year!
We’ve got big plans brewing, so listen up tight,
While we share what’s ahead—oh, what a sight!

We’re diving headfirst into agentic code,
With tools that will help us navigate this road.
We’re treating our engineering like a product so fine,
Creating real workflows—oh, how we will shine!

We’re learning and growing with courses galore,
And bringing in speakers to teach us much more.
We’re hiring from product folks, tried and true,
Those brilliant minds who have learned something new.

Our current team members, we’re helping them rise,
With product skills training—oh, what a prize!
T-shaped engineers, curious and quick,
With learning so fast, they will do the trick.

We’re building and shipping, not stuck in debate,
With feedback loops short, we’re moving so great!
Observability matters, we measure with care,
No micromanagement—trust’s in the air.

Some failures will happen—that’s how we learn best,
We’re learning much faster than all of the rest!
Old habits from pre-AI days? We’re letting them go,
Because this new world requires a new flow.

Speed over perfection, adapting with grace,
We’re moving ahead of the rest of the race.
Today’s “best practices” won’t last very long,
But that won’t deter us—we’re nimble and strong!

With love and excitement for all that will be,
Your team is prepared for 2026, just wait and see!
