"Where are we in the early months of 2026? This post really isn’t about SpaceMolt any more than it’s about Moltbook, any more than it’s about OpenClaw, any more than it’s about Gas Town. I see all of these projects as glimpses of what might be possible." Read on #Radar : bit.ly/4sLk4ag
New #Radar article by Varun Raj examines how balance between control and freedom is actually achieved in production systems—not by governing every step but by distinguishing fast paths from slow paths and by treating governance as a feedback problem rather than an approval workflow: bit.ly/3NehNFs

"Fine-tuning models for a single use case is no longer the only path to specialization. It demands significant investment in talent, compute, and data and creates a permanent divergence that requires reevaluation and potential retraining every time the base model updates." #Radar: bit.ly/4cH42cM

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.

"One says, “We’re all doomed, that tools like Claude Code will make software engineering obsolete within a year.” The other says, “Don’t worry, everything’s fine, AI is just another tool in the toolbox.” Neither is honest." Check out new #Radar article by @andrewstellman.bsky.social bit.ly/47rfs0u
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!
"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

"AI is not ending the cloud. It is pulling the cloud back toward physical reality. The likely trajectory is a cloud landscape that becomes more hybrid, more planned, and less elastic by default." Check out new #Radar article by Syed Danish Ali to learn more: www.oreilly.com/radar/why-ca...
A semantic layer can bring a single source of truth accessible to everyone who needs it at the modern enterprise. The promise is compelling. But what happens when organizations actually build and deploy one? Read on #Radar to learn more: bit.ly/401eRig
"Multi-agent systems fail for structural reasons: context degrades across agents, errors propagate through shared interactions, costs multiply with redundant operations, and state diverges when nothing enforces consistency." Learn more in #Radar article by Mikiko B.: bit.ly/4rPHF9q

This book offers engineering leaders a clear, pragmatic framework for adopting and scaling AI across the entire software development lifecycle. You won't just explore what's possible; you'll walk away with a roadmap for operational change that balances innovation with pragmatism: bit.ly/4aMrD9a
"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

"This guide distills best practices from my use of coding agents including Claude Code and Gemini CLI into a framework for spec-writing that keeps your AI agents focused and productive," said @addyosmani.bsky.social. Read on #Radar to explore five principles for great AI agent specs: bit.ly/4qTl8Yd
"The organizations that figure out how to package their expertise, both for internal and external consumption, will have a structural advantage. Not because AI replaces expertise. Because AI amplifies the expertise of those who know how to share it." New #Radar piece by Han-chung Lee: bit.ly/4rxEaVk
"One of the hardest lessons teams learn is that AI systems don’t offer guarantees in the way traditional software does. What they offer instead is probability. In response, successful systems rely less on guarantees and more on guardrails." New #Radar article by Guruprasad Rao: bit.ly/4aIZdgh
"If the last decade was about treating APIs as products, the next one will be about treating autonomous workflows as policies encoded in traffic between agents. The protocols are ready. Your org chart is not." Check out new #Radar aricle by Shreshta Shyamsundar to learn more: bit.ly/4c18TFo
