I haven’t figured out what topic I want to explore or which demo to build this weekend, but those autonomous agents hanging out at Moltbook (https://www.moltbook.com/) may have already taken over the world by tomorrow anyway.

[blog] Performance shouldn’t be an afterthought: Hardening the AI-assisted SDLC (https://medium.com/google-cloud/performance-shouldnt-be-an-afterthought-hardening-the-ai-assisted-sdlc-a97404804ea0). Great advice from Karl, and it shouldn’t be THAT difficult to ensure the AI tools make this a priority from the start of the project.

[blog] The 80% Problem in Agentic Coding (https://addyo.substack.com/p/the-80-problem-in-agentic-coding). Very thought-provoking piece, and one that engineers (and their managers) should take to heart.

[blog] Spanner in 2025: Innovations powering intelligent, multi-model AI applications (https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/databases/spanner-in-2025/). The most powerful database service keeps getting better. Good roundup of last year’s upgrades.

[blog] Spring AI Agentic Patterns (Part 5): Building Interoperable Agents with the Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol (https://spring.io/blog/2026/01/29/spring-ai-agentic-patterns-a2a-integration). I’m happy to see good support for A2A in the Spring ecosystem. When things like this happen, protocols take off.

[article] Get started with Angular: Introducing the modern reactive workflow (https://www.infoworld.com/article/2252872/get-started-with-angular-introducing-the-modern-reactive-workflow.html). Good introduction, and modern AI tools make it much less scary to try it all out.

[blog] Beyond the Chatbot: A Blueprint for Trustable AI (https://developers.googleblog.com/beyond-the-chatbot-a-blueprint-for-trustable-ai/). This is a boring headline for a badass use case. Real time intelligence at a race track? Let’s go.

[article] AI is changing how work gets done. Here’s how CIOs can help (https://www.ciodive.com/news/AI-effect-on-jobs-CIO/810912/). Are CIOs leading the AI change at companies or going with the flow?

You’re not stuck with only one cloud option, C# devs. We’ve got new .NET 10 support in Cloud Run functions, and a new library to make it easier to add Gemini to your app.

[blog] Zero trust architecture for platform engineers: Securing modern developer platforms (https://platformengineering.org/blog/zero-trust-architecture-for-platform-engineers-securing-modern-developer-platforms). Read this for a take on many of the key areas to focus on for a secure architecture that verifies everything.

[blog] I Tried Letting Antigravity Build An Agent For Me. Here’s What Actually Happened (https://www.tensorlake.ai/blog/antigravity-builds-agent). I enjoy reading these. See where people stumbled, or found delight, is very helpful in knowing where to improves products/docs/messaging.
