If you genuinely believed you were 18 months from building a superintelligence that could cure cancer, you probably wouldn't pivot the entire company to horny chatbots. But I'm just a person with priorities. Maybe the path to solving death really does go through AI girlfriends. I don't have an MBA.

Finally built myself a basic UI for my health data. Blazor .NET 10 FE using bUnit for tests:

Honestly if you’re sending a robot to run terraform destroy, that damage is on you. Humans can’t even run that thing without disastrous consequences. That’s what you get for running with scissors

Hackerbot-Claw Bot Exploits GitHub Actions CI/CD Flaw to Attack Microsoft and DataDog Hackerbot-claw, an autonomous AI bot, has launched a week-long campaign abusing GitHub Actions misconfigurations to hit CI/CD pipelines at Microsoft, DataDog.

The problem is bigger than prompts in GHA. Actions might now be the biggest attack vector for OSS. We just had major repos like Trivy get deleted because of workflows using the deadly pull_request_target event. gbhackers.com/hackerbot-cl...

A GitHub Issue Title Compromised 4,000 Developer Machines A prompt injection in a GitHub issue triggered a chain reaction that ended with 4,000 developers getting OpenClaw installed without consent. The attack composes well-understood vulnerabilities into so...

How to Call Azure Services from an AI Agent Using Entra Agent ID and the .NET Azure SDK Introduction: The Identity Problem with AI Agents AI agents are moving beyond simple prompt-and-response. They’re calling APIs, reading databases, writing to storage etc. Doing actions on real resourc...

New post! How to Call Azure Services from an AI Agent Using Entra Agent ID and the .NET Azure SDK. Walks through blueprints, federated identity credentials, the autonomous agent token flow, tool calling with the Agent Framework, and observability with App Insights: www.willvelida.com/posts/entra-...

Much longer blog post than I thought it would be, but I spent a bit of today playing around with agent blueprints and identities with Entra Agent ID, and have written up what I've learned here: www.willvelida.com/posts/entra-...

Since generative AI is based on scouring the large body of existing content for the most common patterns, relying on AI at work is a great way to be a drone who definitely doesn’t need a promotion or their own team or a project budget for their big interesting new idea they will never have

good engineering is good engineering. Know how to ship.

I've been rolling my eyes at this kind of stuff on LinkedIn.

Engineering quality still, and always will, matters

Neat

Some photos of me having fun at @dddmelbourne.bsky.social, asking you all not to engage in vibe coding, but practice intentional, Hypervelocity Engineering instead 🙂

I like @willvelida.com's definition of AI coding as HVE (hyper velocity engineering). Important point being velocity which implies *direction* not just speed.

Terrible selfie, but the talk will be better! If you're at @dddmelbourne.bsky.social, come and check out my session at 1.30 in the Swanston room, where I'll be talking at how coding agents and intentional HVE (not vibe coding!) can enable developer experience!

hello, world + Bluesky logo and Rust Foundation logo with Ferris the crab between them

hello, world!

The Rust Foundation is excited to join you on this new (to us!) platform. We plan to exclusively share social media content here, Mastodon, & LinkedIn for the foreseeable future.

You can also follow @rustconf.com — they'll have lots of important news to share about #rustconf soon 🦀

Tomorrow I'll be speaking at DDD Melbourne for the first time, giving a talk about Platform Engineering in the age of GenAI. In this talk, we’ll explore how platform engineering and generative AI can work together to improve developer experience, if you get the foundations right. #DDDMelb
