Conductor’s cloud shuts down on 20 November after Meta bought it. Your AI agent tooling is now part of your engineering process, so here’s how I’d keep it from being bought out from under you.
Of Canva, Org Charts and the Seams AI Exposed
Canva is merging its Product, Growth and Platform teams and removing management layers. Leaving the layoffs aside, the org design behind it is worth every engineering leader’s attention.
Google Calendar Wants Your Agent to Introduce Itself
Google Calendar’s API now exposes working hours and makes agents declare themselves. Here’s why both matter, and what building Calendrz taught me about them.
Of Bankers, Vibe Coding and the Road to Production
Goldman Sachs has limited its AI coding tools to engineers. I understand why, but I think the better fix is to guard the road to production rather than the keyboard.
Your App’s Next Front Door Is Someone Else’s Chat Window
Bubble showed its no-code builder working inside ChatGPT and Claude. If even UI-first products now meet their users in a chat window, agent experience is becoming the UX that matters, and tool descriptions are the new UX copy.
Should Your AI Agents Get an Employee ID?
SK Telecom now gives its AI agents employee IDs, supervisors and retirement criteria. Strip away the marketing and what’s left is a lifecycle for agents, which most companies are missing. Here’s how we handle it in Calendrz.
Your AI Agents Now Run on a Grid With a Dimmer Switch
Voters turned down data centres in all but one of 41 ballot measures, and OpenAI answered with cheaper power promises, a grid dimmer switch and a new name. The name is the least interesting bit: the compute your AI agents run on is now interruptible, and engineering teams should plan for it.
Banks Now Pay Engineers More Than Tech: What Gives?
Randstad says banks and healthcare companies now pay software engineers more than tech companies do. Why the money moved, and what it means for CTOs hiring engineers and for the engineers themselves.
Five Engineers Rebuilt X.com With AI Agents. Should You Rewrite Too?
Five engineers and their AI coding agents rebuilt the x.com web app in under six months. “Never rewrite from scratch” used to be gospel, but when writing code gets cheap, the hard part moves to the plan and the rollout. Here’s how that played out when I chose to build the Calendrz mobile apps natively, twice.
When AI Finds the Bug First: The Patch Window Is Closing
LinkedIn’s CISO says AI is shrinking the time between a flaw being found and it being exploited. What that means for patching, and how a small team like Calendrz keeps its dependencies current without having to think about it.
