Introducing Cortex as the Engineering Operations Platform
Anish Dhar's manifesto argues that AI-generated code has outpaced engineering organizations' ability to manage it, creating a new discipline called Engineering Operations. The piece positions Cortex as the platform for EngOps: the connective tissue between platform engineering, SRE, DevEx, and DevOps that turns operational excellence into a competitive advantage.

Bring Back Ops Pride
A pointed defense of "ops" as a term of pride, this article argues the industry's obsession with rebranding operations (DevOps, SRE, platform engineering) as anything but ops has eroded the craft and made most engineering orgs bad at it. The core thesis: dev vs. ops is a separation of concerns, not a hierarchy, and you can't build operational excellence while running away from the word.
