Well, here’s essentially an answer to everything. If blackmail and threats work, and you can just go and snatch Greenland, then why not keep going with Ontario? Quebec? British Columbia? Iceland? Bermuda? They’re all incredibly necessary so that Donald Trump can slap his name on them in gold letters and praise himself in front of TV cameras — because “America’s security”, because they treated us very badly, because they didn’t give me a Nobel Prize, because China, because they don’t pay me $1 billion to be part of my toy “peace board,” etc etc etc. The moment you allow this to begin, it will never end, and no appeasement along the lines of “our alliance with America matters more than some icy rocks somewhere out there” will pay off. You’ll lose both.

Everyone’s hyping “AI agents,” but hardly anyone knows which frameworks actually matter. This list cuts through the noise. 2025 is the year agent frameworks become the new cloud platforms. If you understand them, you build faster, ship cleaner, and outrun teams still duct-taping prompts together. If you don’t, you’ll spend the next 18 months wondering why your competitors suddenly move 10x quicker. The truth is simple: these frameworks aren’t toys. They’re cheat codes. They give you reusable logic, clean orchestration, built-in memory, tool access, and the one thing solo devs and teams desperately need right now predictable workflows. So here’s the real breakdown of the Top 7 Free AI Agent Frameworks worth your time: 1. Botpress The easiest way to build real agents that connect to tools and run in production. Visual builder. Tooling. Memory. Deploy anywhere. If you want to actually ship an agent, start here. 2. LangChain A researcher’s playground. Total control. Infinite customization. Also infinite ways to break things if you’re not careful. 3. CrewAI Perfect for quick multi-agent prototypes. Define roles, give a goal, and watch them collaborate. Great for demos and linear tasks. 4. Microsoft Semantic Kernel Enterprise teams love it because it slips right into existing apps and backend logic. If you’re already in the Microsoft ecosystem, this one’s a no-brainer. 5. AutoGen Serious multi-agent orchestration with full traceability. If you want visibility into every message, every action, every decision, this is your home. 6. AutoGPT Autonomous workflows for solo devs or small teams. Give it a goal, it breaks it down and executes. Amazing for research tasks and batch workflows. 7. Rasa When you need ownership and privacy. Full control of data, NLU pipelines, and reasoning logic. Industry-grade conversation systems. Here’s the part nobody says out loud: Picking a framework isn’t about features. It’s about your use case. Ask yourself: Do you need speed or control? Do you want visual builders or pure code? Are you scaling to thousands of users or testing a prototype? Do you need deep integrations or just basic tool calls? Is security a priority or an afterthought? Once you answer those, the right framework picks itself. The companies that win this wave won’t be the ones with the fanciest agents. They’ll be the ones who master the tools that let them build those agents faster than everyone else. If you’re not experimenting with these frameworks yet, start. The gap between “experimenting” and “obsolete” is about to get very small.

Re-reading a classic. The photo doesn’t do justice to this 900-page book that is heavier than any other book I own Cannot recall reading a similarly extensive book about software development

@Cryptard3000 @lilyjayofficial Christians don't all fast for a whole month but fasting has historically been important in Christianity. Eastern Orthodox Christians traditionally fast from certain foods on Wed & Fri. Coptic Orthodox Christians & some Methodists fast during Lent. Mormons fast a day per month.

@lilyjayofficial That’s wild you have to fast a whole month to feel that cause Christians feel close to God from the minute they realize Jesus is the messiah. 💀

Ramadan has been the most peaceful month People think I’d be happy I no longer have to fast But honestly, I feel immense sadness that this elevated spiritual closeness is ending How is it possible to keep this feeling outside of Ramadan? 🥺

@mlntdrv @allenholub For example we created a new interface & visuals for the Ashes cricket tests with bespoke sponsor branding & features like a cricket pitch visualiser so that people can see where the ball was batted to. We used it later for some other tests but it was released for that tour.

It bears repeating that "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SCOPE CREEP IN AN AGILE PROJECT." Scope creep implies that you have a big up-front tactical plan and that any deviation from that plan is bad. Agile projects have a strategic goal and move towards that goal incrementally, defining what to do next by getting feedback from releasing the current small increment. These are radically different ways of working. Agile development is about continuously refining scope as you work. There's nothing to "creep."
