Daily Reading List – June 12, 2026 (#804)

It’s been a long week. And today I was out of the house at 5am to catch a flight up to Google HQ to deliver an hour-long presentation in person. But I got some good news at the end of the day, and a nice weekend awaits. Short list today!

[blog] Introducing the Google Colab CLI. Everybody gets a CLI. Provision GPUs or TPUs, perform remote execution, and more.

[article] It’s crunch time for Java modernization. Some heavily used Java versions are about to go out of support. It’s not just about the technical upgrade, but developer capacity.

[blog] Google Antigravity SDK: The developer guide. We haven’t made much noise about this, but it’s powerful to engage the Antigravity harness from different surfaces.

[article] The flat-rate era of AI coding tools is over. For now, that’s true. Like when we moved from on-prem to cloud, we’re exposed to the real costs of AI now.
