Yesterday, I had a great chat with Phil Leggetter and Ryan Day on the role of asynchronous APIs in AI and machine learning. The full recording is here on the @nordicapis YouTube: youtu.be/PPQ5yfgeMXs?si…

OpenAI's developer platform is now generating ~$1B in annualized revenue. 🤯 Here are some other big API monetization success stories of the 2020s. via @Zuplo zuplo.com/blog/5-api-mon…

Open source maintainers: how are you managing the influx of AI contributions to your projects? Would love to hear from you you for a piece I’m working on!

What happens when AI agents need to rely on event triggers? Excited for this week's @nordicapis LiveCast on asynchronous communication patterns in AI, featuring insights from Phil Leggetter from @Hookdeck and Ryan Day. nordicapis.com/events/asynchr…

What exactly do we mean by context engineering? I unpack the term for @TheLeadDev and look at some emerging context engineering patterns. leaddev.com/ai/what-is-con…

AI is getting physical — and the real differentiator won't be hardware. It'll be the models. My latest for @thenewstack looks at LBM, VLA, open world models, edge constraints, and what it takes to make physical AI work at scale. thenewstack.io/physical-ai-mo…

For this month's DirectorPlus edition, @Workato's CTO shares their internal success story using MCP within Claude. Some impressive usage numbers and outcomes! Read on @TheLeadDev leaddev.com/ai/how-to-just…

Society needs UBI

The hyperscalers jumped on the MCP train quickly. So what can you actually do with MCP servers for major clouds? My latest for @InfoWorld looks at what's possible using official MCP servers from AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, and IBM Cloud. infoworld.com/article/412902…

How are organizations using agentic knowledge bases in practice? Today, my feature on @thenewstack looks at six emerging patterns. thenewstack.io/agentic-knowle…

My report for @EbpfFoundation, "eBPF in Production," was published today. The 20-page report explores emerging deployment patterns for #eBPF and a comprehensive look at tangible business outcomes. ebpf.foundation/new-ebpf-in-pr…

MCP servers can quickly drain context windows without the right guardrails. Thankfully, there are ways around this... My latest feature with @thenewstack breaks down a number of practical techniques for reducing MCP token bloat. thenewstack.io/how-to-reduce-…

My latest for @CIOonline looks at how CIOs are deploying agentic AI in finance. 🏦 Although AI agents feel like they're everywhere, in finance and banking, the reality is more cautious and more deliberate than the hype suggests. cio.com/article/412349…

To scrape or integrate? It's an age-old question resurfacing for AI agent builders. My latest for @InfoWorld breaks down the upsides and caveats of both approaches — and when it actually makes sense to use each. infoworld.com/article/412032…

What does it mean to go "nano" with your software updates — to "carve with a scalpel" instead of swinging a hammer? My latest DirectorPlus edition with @TheLeadDev interviews @chainguard_dev VP @DustinKirkland to dig into that idea. leaddev.com/ai/shipping-na…

Heavy #MCP use can lead to runaway tokens and flooded context windows, fast. My latest piece for @thenewstack looks at an interesting project aiming to address this problem: Port of Context. thenewstack.io/port-of-contex…

This week's LiveCast on API standards for AI agents is now live on the @nordicapis YouTube channel! Thanks for the great discussion, everyone. 👏 youtu.be/gJNQPhvS2NI?si…

@kevinswiber @gitclear @TheLeadDev It was out of the scope of this article, but I think the same rings true across fields, too.

@DoerrfeldBill @gitclear @TheLeadDev I like the framing of "the rich get richer", which is true on several levels with AI.

As it turns out, the engineers seeing the biggest gains from AI were top performers all along. Today, I look at findings from a new @gitclear report on @TheLeadDev. leaddev.com/ai/ai-doesnt-c…
