We know #dataengineers spend hours investigating pipeline failures. Now Otto #agent from @astronomerio reads the logs, finds the root cause, spots recurring patterns, and suggests a fix. Finally, a teammate that enjoys reading logs: astronomer.io/blog/investiga…

Turns out “world models” aren’t just #AI making pretty videos of cats in space. The real challenge is building systems that can predict, plan, and not immediately drive the robot into a wall...and if anyone should know, its the author drfeifei.substack.com/p/a-fu…

The next data stack shift: Old world → #ETL pipelines → dashboards New world → #context pipelines → #AI agents Models aren’t the bottleneck anymore. Context is. The winners will build the AI context layer: substack.com/home/post/p-190…

If #AI #agents become the primary “users” of #databases, a lot changes: query patterns, isolation, ephemeral environments. Interesting industry perspective. Keen to see how other database vendors approach this shift. thenewstack.io/databases-for…

Feeling grateful for all of the kind and uplifting birthday messages I received this year…..well most of them anyway

If your #AIAgents can call tools, read data, or execute workflows…you’ve built an authorization problem. I wrote a guide on preventing over-permissioned agents for my friends over at @osoHQ : osohq.com/learn/how-to-preve…

How #SoftwareEngineering is evolving in face of #AgenticAI. Specs should be equations, not essays. Precision wins over prose when AI writes code. Also addresses risk of "cognitive debt" fromanengineersight.substack…

Left #MongoDB thinking CAP theorem was behind me. #Agents pulled me right back in: Capability, Autonomy, Permissions: pick 2. The difference: CAP is physics. The agent version is an infrastructure problem and these are solvable - the @osoHQ take osohq.com/post/the-cap-theor…

Nearly 50% of #AI #agentic usage today is in #softwareengineering. The other half? Fragmented across 16 industries with most under 5% each. Coding may be saturated. Vertical AI agents are the wide-open frontier. garryslist.org/posts/half-th…

We made an implicit bargain with overpermissioning: bad, but not bad enough to fix. It worked because humans sleep, work business hours, slow down. Agents have no remorse and no speed limit. The bargain is over. osohq.com/post/least-privile…

"Cognitive debt" is gaining traction. Fueled by #vibecoding it slows teams down more than #techdebt, accumulating when assumptions aren’t documented and context is lost. Product Requirement and Design Decisions docs have never been more important! simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/1…
