We’re in process of doing our quarterly “check-ins” towards our personal goals. It’s a great moment for me to reflect and appreciate what my team has accomplished already!
[blog] How To Measure Development Productivity? Should you measure activity? Or output? Those are flawed categories, although they can have value at the team level. This post reminds us to consider desired outcomes and measure that.
[blog] Introducing computer use in Gemini 3.5 Flash. When you need/want agents that can “see” and reason across browsers and desktop, this sort of capability will be intensely valuable. Great to see it natively integrated into the Gemini Flash model.
[article] The Mom-and-Pop SaaS era has arrived. How many great ideas never got built because the cost of realizing them with software was too high? Not anymore.
[article] Lost confidence. When you can’t honestly quantify your confidence about the outcome, how do we proceed? Some really useful techniques called out here.
[article] Europe’s cloud sovereignty push may backfire. Related to the above point, I can’t predict how this goes. Doesn’t seem like it’ll go well.
[blog] Build Cross-Language Multi-Agent Team with Google’s Agent Development Kit and A2A. Cool demo, including downloadable source code. How do you make agents built in different languages work together? Here’s how.
[article] The AI Productivity Bill Comes Due in Production. The bottleneck probably moved downstream, and the work itself changes shape to be more about supervision.
[article] Kubernetes in the Age of AI. It’s a runtime for model inference, a host for agents, and probably more.
[blog] Is it thinking or is it broken? Building transparent AI chat UIs with Genkit. Is this thing on? You might ask that when waiting to see if the AI service is stuck, thinking, or something else. Here’s a pattern for showing a heartbeat.
[blog] Skills Over MCP. Can we ship the manual with the product? That’s what this working group is trying to figure out.
[article] OpenClaw and Hermes agree on what an agent is. They disagree on what controls it. Interesting. Jani helps us understand the philosophical difference between the two personal agent platforms.
