“I had the pleasure of working with Jowanza on the Data Platform team at Pluralsight. He was an ideal co-worker, and what stood out to me the most is that he exemplifies traits that typically aren't as common in software engineers, such as leadership and communication. He also was very well-versed in a wide breadth of contemporary technologies and best practices. He is a very organized person, and would often run our team stand-ups, improving their efficiency and result. He was a driving force in helping the team "level-up" their tech skills via trainings and other learning and mentorship opportunities. I would absolutely recommend Jowanza to future employers.”

Systems first. AI next. The order matters, a lot. Over the past few weeks, Evan Allen and I have been digging into agentic workflows - reading papers, testing tools, and mapping patterns across different implementations. One insight keeps standing out. Agentic workflows aren’t inherently “AI.” They’re decomposition systems. The core idea is simple: take a complex task, break it into smaller, well-defined steps, execute those steps independently, then reassemble the output. Who performs each step is secondary. 👉 Some steps are best handled by machines: speed, recall, pattern matching. 👉 Others still benefit from humans: judgment, accountability. 💡 Once you see it this way, the false binary between “automated” and "manual” disappears. For human-in-the-loop systems - like what we're building with Nexus - it shifts the goal from replacing people to assigning work to whoever (or whatever) does it best, step by step. AI becomes a delegate, not an endpoint. That also forces more discipline. You have to be explicit about what the task actually is, what good looks like, and where judgment truly matters. Sloppy workflows don’t magically improve when you add AI - they just fail faster. I suspect the most durable systems won’t be the most automated ones, but the most intentional about where humans stay in the loop. Where have you seen the balance work well, or break down?

Michael Porter's productivity frontier concept is playing out in real-time. We have 1-2 years where the frontier is getting pushed out by AI before it settles. We get to decide: wait for best practices to emerge, or engage in rebuilding? At Buffer we're choosing to be in the mess of the frontier.
