Happy Friday. It was a good first week back at work. In my reading so far this year, I’m wondering if we’ll see the same nonstop blitz of new technologies, or more focus on how to actually use it all. Feels like the latter.
[blog] Code Review in the Age of AI. Super valuable perspective here on how teams and solo devs need to think about code reviews. Even if (or especially if) AI is generating your code, it’s absolutely critical to ensure you have working software.
[article] DevProd headcount benchmarks, Q1 2026. How many people are in centralized teams (or roles) focused on developer productivity? Looks like an average of 4.7% of engineering headcount.
[blog] Local MCP Development with Dart/Flutter and Gemini CLI. Sure, you can build MCP servers all sorts of ways now. William shows how to build one in Dart, with an assist from the Gemini CLI.
[article] Agent-native Architectures. Chock-full of advice, anti-patterns, and practices to consider.
[blog] Why AI is pushing developers toward typed languages. Type safety is something that might make certain languages more appealing as we generate more and more code via AI.
[blog] Introducing MCP CLI: A way to call MCP Servers Efficiently. I know that some people *really* dislike MCP—security model, hungry token consumption—but I’d bet many of those things get resolved. Philipp built a tool that solves for a few pain points.
[blog] Technical blogging lessons learned. A bunch of folks offer up their experience from years of writing. You’ll see some common themes.
