[article] What happens when the agent is long gone, but its access key lives on? Good question. I hadn’t really thought of it. But it seems important to have a strategy for this.
[blog] Behind the scenes, two months later: How we ship Google Agent Skills like products. One thing about Google, we look at everything as an engineering problem. For agent skills, my team built a robust strategy and set of platforms to generate, support, and eval them.
[article] You can’t find 10x developers, but you can build 10x organizations. There’s no doubt that many individuals are now remarkably productive. But software usually happens in teams. Activate the group and its workflow, and you win.
