Join us in Stockholm to talk agentic AI and APIs! Super early bird registration for @NordicAPIs summit is open. 😎 🎟️ tickets: nordicapis.com/events/platfor… 🎤 speak: nordicapis.com/call-speakers/

Well, @APIdaysGlobal NYC 2026 is a wrap! The most obvious focus this year? Agents. APIs are a form of context for agentic AI, and there are emerging tactics for setting them up for success.

Had a blast MC'ing some sessions at apidays NYC this week! Conference wrap-up post to come.

In NYC for @APIdaysGlobal this week!

95% faster seller prep time. 16% better attainment. $2.7 million in new sales opportunities. 1,700 hours saved. My latest for @CIOonline features real results from CIOs actively deploying AI agents to accelerate sales and revenue workflows. cio.com/article/416433…

My latest for @InfoWorld looks at the downsides of hastily bolting AI onto existing products, and what to do instead. infoworld.com/article/416161…

Excited to share that I’ll be at @APIdaysGlobal NYC next week! I'll be helping MC tracks across both days. Who's gonna be around? apidays.global/events/new-york

Cloudflare rebuilt Next.js over a weekend using agentic coding. As CTO @dok2001 says, "This kind of reinvents the factory floor." My latest DirectorPlus edition now live on @TheLeadDev: leaddev.com/ai/how-cloudfl…

I have to agree with @elonmusk on this one. @waybackmachine clearly preserves OpenAI's original publicly-stated goal from 2015 as a "non-profit" "benefiting humanity as a whole." Put the $ back into the charity. 👏

@paulg It's a pretty exciting tech hub, too. We've been growing @nordicapis's yearly summit here and the community is great.

We're in Stockholm. You know how there are some places where you think "Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there"? Stockholm is the kind of place that makes you want to live there.

@travisspencer @InfoWorld I love that. Good for critical thinking and inspiration! Some of the best tech founders I've talked with have the most diverse experience in different domains too.

@DoerrfeldBill @InfoWorld I’m advising CS students to skip the master’s. Get a post-bac in English, hist, sociology, music—anything that forces you to think more broadly. That's the sort of engineers we need now.

Enterprise-grade AI agents require a new form of systems thinking. My latest for @InfoWorld explores the emerging best practices for building agentic systems. infoworld.com/article/415457…

Does anyone have any good stories or data of AI creating *more* jobs than it's taking away? Or examples of net-positive talent redistributions in software engineering?

Just dropped in @InfoWorld: “Best practices for building agentic systems” A must-read for anyone building enterprise-grade AI agents. @Airrived_ai CEO @AnuragGurtu nails it: “Building agentic systems requires a fundamentally new architecture — one designed for autonomy, not just automation. Agents need a runtime, a brain, hands, memory, and guardrails.” Big thanks to @DoerrfeldBill for the ink & excellent piece. 👏 infoworld.com/article/415457… #AgenticAI #EnterpriseAI #MultiAgentSystems #AgenticOS

Today I look into ING Bank's journey developing a custom-made service mesh to manage its 2k microservices portfolio. We covered their API-first transition on @nordicapis in 2017, so it's pretty cool to see the journey coming full-circle after 9 years. nordicapis.com/how-ing-bank-m…

Throwing AI everywhere can be such an unnecessary waste and UX toll. Especially for simple, codified, and repeatable features. I actually have a feature story coming out on this very topic soon... 👀

Calling out folks in the Stockholm and Nordic area: @nordicapis, @Akamai, and @curityio are hosting a pretty dreamy event next month: a dinner cruise through the Stockholm archipelago 🚢 Check out the details and register interest here: nordicapis.com/events/api-sec…

Is anyone still here?

What goes into an enterprise-grade #MCP registry? @InfoWorld infoworld.com/article/414501…

My first-ever contribution to @CSOonline looks at the shifting landscape, from perimeter security to API security, and how CISOs are responding. csoonline.com/article/414831…
