I’m at the airport waiting to fly home after a day trip up the Bay Area. After a few hours with a fantastic audience at the local DevFest, I spent the late afternoon with customer execs who wanted to talk about software engineering with AI.
[blog] The Code Nobody Reads. Big piece, worth reading. Code review is changing, but the key will be knowing what’s worth reading and reviewing.
[blog] Create an Agent that Remembers with Agent Platform Memory Bank. It’s going to be important to know how to store and reuse memories. This is a good service to consider.
[article] Maintaining quality while agents write the code. Somewhat related to the first item here. We’re going to need to zoom in on the decisions that require thoughtful instructions and reviews.
[blog] Your Enterprise Agent Talks Too Much. Give It a UI with A2UI on Cloud Run. I liked the framing here. Give more focused answers through a generative UI.
[article] OpenClaw launches free enterprise control plane for persistent AI agents, backed by OpenAI, Red Hat and Nvidia. Give any product some time, and you’ll see an “enterprise” flavor. This makes sense.
[blog] Coding is NOT solved. Maybe a counter-point to other items listed here. We’re responsible for what we produce, whether we understand it or not. I don’t agree with all (most?) of this, but I’m glad to read the perspective.
[blog] Empower your agents with the Google Cloud CLI remote MCP server. CLI-over-MCP is an important pattern, especially when dealing with AI clients that won’t be allowed to call local scripts or CLIs to do stuff. I used this in my blog post from yesterday.
[blog] Cut your AI spend with AI Gateway’s Auto Router. Cloudflare is shipping lots of cool new things. Expect every major platform to offer capabilities like this one very soon.
[article] Observability for AI-native systems: New SLIs beyond latency and error rate. I’m not an ops person, but I’d imagine that serious people revisit what metrics they’re looking at, and don’t get stuck on the same set forever. Now’s a good time for one of those resets.
