I’m off to Arizona for a couple of days to watch Spring Training baseball with my son. And to hang out with my brother and friends. Back here on Monday!

[blog] You can’t stream the energy: A developer’s guide to Google Cloud Next ’26 in Vegas (https://developers.googleblog.com/you-cant-stream-the-energy-a-developers-guide-to-google-cloud-next-26-in-vegas/). If you’re procrastinating, stop it. I saw the numbers this week and the event is close to selling out. Get yourself to the premium dev and AI event of the year.

[blog] Vibe Coding to Production (https://blog.ankur.cc/vibe-coding-to-production). Even now, you’re probably not pushing production apps from your IDE. Ankur connects his AI-built app to GitHub, Cloud Build, and Cloud Run.

[blog] Does AI Make Us Smarter or Dumber? (https://www.cjroth.com/blog/2026-02-12-does-ai-make-us-dumber-or-smarter) Yes? We’re losing some “primitive” abilities but unlocking new superpowers.

[article] OpenAI launches GPT-5.4 with Pro and Thinking versions (https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/05/openai-launches-gpt-5-4-with-pro-and-thinking-versions/). Plenty of new models this week, including fresh ones from OpenAI.

[blog] Look What You Made Us Patch: 2025 Zero-Days in Review (https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/2025-zero-day-review/). The zero-day landscape was different last year. Even more enterprise tech attacks, with browser-based exploitation dropping.

[blog] How Google Does It: Applying SRE to cybersecurity (https://cloud.google.com/transform/how-google-does-it-applying-sre-to-cybersecurity). SRE applies to security too, of course. I like these details of how we think about it.

[article] The Pulse: Cloudflare rewrites Next.js as AI rewrites commercial open source (https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-pulse-cloudflare-rewrites-next-js-as-ai-rewrites-commercial-open-source/). I guess we can just rewrite stuff now? It’s not difficult to regenerate entire projects, build compatibility layers, etc.

[blog] Can coding agents relicense open source through a “clean room” implementation of code? (https://simonwillison.net/2026/Mar/5/chardet) Continuing that thought, how legal is it? That question is being tested here as debate arises over a rebuild and relicense.

[blog] GitOps architecture, patterns and anti-patterns (https://platformengineering.org/blog/gitops-architecture-patterns-and-anti-patterns). Are you following good practices, or anti-patterns? A lot of specifics here.

[article] Cursor is rolling out a new kind of agentic coding tool (https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/05/cursor-is-rolling-out-a-new-system-for-agentic-coding/). Looks cool. Always-on fleets of agents will be a commonplace thing in twelve months. Maybe six.

[blog] Practical Guide to Evaluating and Testing Agent Skills (https://www.philschmid.de/testing-skills). You know how to build the skill, but can you test the skill? It’s really the most important part, the testing. Anybody can just build them. Yes, I’m ripping off a Seinfeld bit (https://youtu.be/4T2GmGSNvaM?t=62).
