Knowledge decay has plagued software teams for decades. But IBM's Neel Sundaresan thinks AI can finally help close this gap. My latest for @TheLeadDev: leaddev.com/ai/how-to-avoi…

Knowledge decay has been costing engineering teams for decades. @IBM's Neel Sundaresan estimates only 15-20% of code being written today is actually new. The other 60-65% is modernization, migration, and maintenance. New article by @DoerrfeldBill leaddev.com/ai/how-to-avoi…

@kevinswiber My favorite: "SaaS is dead. That's why you need my SaaS to monitor/test/secure your AI-generated replacements."

When anyone in tech declares something “dead,” check what they’re selling.

How do you avoid shadow MCP servers at enterprise scale? You can't. Just kidding. I left some recommendations on the @Zuplo blog: zuplo.com/blog/how-to-av…

What is zero standing privilege (ZSP)? Today, I look at this new and emerging cybersecurity topic and why it's so relevant in the agentic AI era. via @curity.io: curity.io/blog/what-is-z…

What's the difference between an MCP registry and an MCP gateway? Both are evolving quickly: here are the early patterns and what early examples look like right now. zuplo.com/blog/mcp-regis…

3 years into AI coding, code duplication is up 81%, code reuse is down 70%, and legacy refactoring fell 74%. Guess creating new code is "easier" than maintaining old code... @gitclear analyzed 623M real-world code changes, covered first on @TheLeadDev leaddev.com/ai/code-mainta…

@nordicapis 😅 I'm planning on it!

@DoerrfeldBill, will you have a better answer about MCP at this year's Nordic APIs Summit? 👀

If you're using #MCP in your workflows or building MCP servers, be sure to avoid these common MCP security anti-patterns. via @Zuplo zuplo.com/blog/7-common-…

AI-coding agents are the default. So, what now? Synced with Tom Moor, head of engineering at @linear for this piece on @TheLeadDev to find out. Give this one a read: leaddev.com/ai/ai-coding-a…

@DoerrfeldBill from @InfoWorld talks about a future of AI that is pro-open-infrastructure. @VikramSrivats, from @Wavemaker shares the sentiment: "Open-source models must be the foundation of future trust and value." Read Now! infoworld.com/article/418638…

AI got proprietary, fast. But open infrastructure still matters. My latest feature for @InfoWorld makes the case why open infrastructure will define the AI era. infoworld.com/article/418638…

How do you get AI costs down? It takes a combination of visibility, governance, smart model selection, quality API design, MCP optimizations, and more. Yesterday's LiveCast on AI cost control is now live on the @nordicapis YouTube here: youtu.be/TWB9J-4oswg?si…

The rapid shutdown of Fable and Mythos demonstrates why engineering teams need model-agnostic foundations. @TheLeadDev leaddev.com/ai/ai-models-c…

My less clickbait-y story for @TheLeadDev about how AI is shifting the work, not removing it: leaddev.com/ai/the-ai-tale…

What MCP servers are there for working with databases? My latest for @InfoWorld reviews a handful of MCP servers and agentic-ready tools for database management. infoworld.com/article/418184…

There's a lot of development happening in the MCP infrastructure space right now. Here's my comparison of 10 standout MCP gateways: zuplo.com/blog/mcp-gatew…

Here's a dump of interesting #MCP statistics to use in your next slideshow. On server growth, adoption rates, token bloat, security risks, and more. nordicapis.com/10-interesting…

When do you call it quits? Real software leaders know you can't have endless innovation without also knowing when to cancel unviable projects. My latest DirectorPlus via @TheLeadDev: leaddev.com/leadership/whe…
