Shorter reading list today, but some great depth. I liked the thinking and challenge that many of these pieces offered.
[blog] Introducing CodeMender: an AI agent for code security. This AI is both proactive and reactive in helping secure your code from vulnerabilities. This looks like the future to me.
[blog] The RAG Obituary: Killed by Agents, Buried by Context Windows. I’ve seen a few obituaries for RAG, but maybe the agentic workflows really do resolve some of the issues that made RAG necessary in the first place.
[article] Microsoft retires AutoGen and debuts Agent Framework to unify and govern enterprise AI agents. There are too many frameworks to choose from, so it’s a good thing when a new one explicitly replaces an old one.
[article] OpenAI launches AgentKit to help developers build and ship AI agents. I’m wrong. Apparently we need more frameworks and agent-building tools. OpenAI announced many interesting things today during their Dev Day. Also updated models.
[article] Top executives jump on AI upskilling. Great to see. The right type of executive upskilling with shrink the expectation-gap between leaders and their employees.
[blog] vercel vs cloudflare: two philosophies of building for developers. A good rivalry forces participants to keep upping their game. This one is fascinating. I like Guillermo and the Vercel team but either way, developers win.
[blog] More choice, more control: self-deploy proprietary models in your VPC with Vertex AI. Great. Better control and security when running these leading models in the cloud.
[article] How to Drive Digital Innovation Without Wasting Resources. Some of this goes against conventional wisdom, which is why I liked it.
[blog] Scaling Engineering Teams: Lessons from Google, Facebook, and Netflix. You can’t copy culture and practices from one team and assume they work on the next. But we can still learn from what others do.
