The Accidental Orchestrator Experiments in agentic engineering and AI-driven development

This is the first article in an @oreilly.bsky.social Radar series on agentic engineering and AI-driven development. The next one gets into what the code actually looks like, and what happened when I tested it against what I intended to build.

The Accidental Orchestrator Experiments in agentic engineering and AI-driven development

"One says, β€œWe’re all doomed, that tools like Claude Code will make software engineering obsolete within a year.” The other says, β€œDon’t worry, everything’s fine, AI is just another tool in the toolbox.” Neither is honest."

The "Data Center Rebellion" Is Here Beyond the chips: The local politics of AI infrastructure

Even the most ardent cheerleaders for artificial intelligence now quietly concede we are navigating a massive AI bubble... To justify this deployment on conventional investment metrics, the industry would need a step change in monetization over a short window to make the numbers work. bit.ly/4b4jwEX

Look at what arrived in the mail!

The book has been out for ~2.5 years already. I'm still really proud of the result. If you know of more deep and exhaustive content on Kafka Connect, please let me know.

Thanks @oreilly.bsky.social for the frame!

Radar Trends to Watch: March 2026 Developments in operations, things, web, and more

"In February, things went crazy. We saw a social network for agents (no humans allowed, though they undoubtedly sneak on); a multiplayer online game for agents (again, no humans); many clones of OpenClaw, most of which attempt to mitigate its many security problems; and much more." bit.ly/4cr5WOA

Control Planes for Autonomous AI: Why Governance Has to Move Inside the System Scaling agentic AI is forcing a shift from external policy to runtime architecture.

"As AI systems move from assistive components to autonomous actors, governance imposed from the outside no longer scales. The problem isn’t that organizations lack policies or oversight frameworks. It’s that those controls are detached from where decisions are actually formed." #Radar bit.ly/4rwKJHz
