Can you vibe code an internal developer platform? A former Home Depot platform engineer gives their take. Check out the full conversation: youtube.com/live/dFuNULMW7Cs?si=qytA5cV9IMARpa5c

In the longer discussion, we talk through what happens when AI code generation meets real-world platform engineering - shared services, Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, config sprawl, patching windows, support overhead, and the politics of “who owns this thing?”

Is AI ready to cobble together a secure, scalable, enterprise-grade platform from open source parts? Or is it better at accelerating humans - improving developer experience, generating config, wiring up services, and translating business language into infrastructure?
We cover:
- Open source sustainability and innersource realities
- Why most enterprises don’t actually contribute back
- The hidden cost of “just build it” platforms
- AI-assisted ops vs fully autonomous platforms
- Chat interfaces for platforms - Jarvis for your IDP?
- Whether vibe coding reduces friction… or just moves it
