So I'm heading to Bluesky, and treating this thing like a glorified RSS feed. It's a better app, and the folks there are a lot more interactive there. If you want to join me, I'd love to see you there: bsky.app/profile/willvelida.โฆ

Crime? Brother it's a sport ๐

If you want the next generation to watch this beautiful game, let them watch Manchester City, Barcelona, PSG, or Bayern Munich. What Arsenal are doing is a crime against football. We have probably lost many future football fans to Arsenalโs crimes.

For those of you building agents, I'd recommend that you take a look at the OWASP Top 10 for Agents and don't fall into the same trap that this guy unfortunately did: genai.owasp.org/resource/owaโฆ

Flying into Sydney tomorrow to deliver two talks at #NDCSydney 2026 this week! On Thursday, I'll be talking about Platform Engineering in the age of Gen AI, and on Friday, I'll be talking about building responsible AI Agents. If you're in town, come and say hi!

New blog post! I've built a multi-agent system into my personal health platform: A conversational Q&A agent over my health data using the Microsoft Agent Framework, and a report generator using GitHub Copilot SDK, with Entra Agent ID handling auth: open.substack.com/pub/willveโฆ

Now that I can use my MCP server in my agent, I'm going to do another OWASP Top 10 series, this time focusing on MCP servers! This first article is about Preventing Token Mismanagement and Secret Exposure in MCP Servers: open.substack.com/pub/willveโฆ

Wrote up how I wired Claude into the Microsoft Agent Framework to build a chat agent for my health data side project. Function tools, AG-UI streaming, system prompt design, skipping Foundry entirely. Check it out: willvelida.com/posts/ms-agenโฆ

Just realised the only reason Arsenal managed to squeeze a 3-2 win in the first leg is because we literally had no Caicedo or Palmer, they are so finished tonight bro ๐ญ

Canโt believe Chelsea have now recorded THREE moral victories over Arsenal in one season.
Embarrassing for the Gunners.

It's a brand new year, and I have a bunch of goals I'd like to achieve this year. I'd like to see the other side of 95kg, I want to be able to ollie on my skateboard, I want to be a better software engineer, do more impactful work, be a great husband, and generally be happier.

Historic first fine under the #DSA โ and a clear signal to Big Tech: in Europe, rules apply to everyone, even billionaires.
If oligarchs such as Elon Musk think this is โcensorshipโ, they might want to learn how European democracy works. And what does it actually mean the freedom of speech.
Childish posts and reposts will not undermine the EU. Europeans vote in free and fair elections and they will not bow to foreign pressure. Neither from Russia, nor from anywhere else.
And we donโt bow to foreign pressure either. We protect Europeans. ๐ช๐บโ๏ธ

I know I made a joke earlier but this is seriously concerning.
I am not convinced it's ai, I think it's just accelerating this trend. The enshitification has been marching forward for years now and I hate it
I know the rage is all about how you should do no typing, you should only use AI, and only luddites say anything different, but I urge you to practice programming and becoming an expert
It is worth it
What the HECK is going on with tech?
In the last week: Multiple cloud outages, x DMs totally broken, antigravity doesn't work, my watch is showing me 15 year old cal events, mac OS is a mess, email is spammed to hell and every nerd on here is talking like new AI is the second coming

And it's the best state in the country.

There's a state in Australia with statewide public holidays for both a provincial horse race and the final of a local ball-kicking game, just weeks apart.

Lately Iโve been feeling depressed because decades of our hard work is completely gone like it never existed. I heard from others that they also find it very hard to dial into the new norm of low quality software engineering.
