@sspendol Any ETA on APEX 26.1 being available on OCI? We have 6 frustrated customers asking us. I'd love to be able to give them some direction.

I wrote a thing on LinkedIn linkedin.com/pulse/1-mcp-se…

I've been experimenting with an approach where agents don't need to relearn #orclAPEX APEXlang syntax every time – instead they get tools to read, query and edit .apx files directly. Results look great, learn more in our stream next Tuesday (see reply)!

I wanted to share a bunch of my favorite hidden and under-utilized features in Claude Code. I'll focus on the ones I use the most. Here goes.

Jevons paradox is happening in real time. Companies, especially outside of tech, are realizing that they can now afford to take on software projects that they wouldn’t have been able to tackle before because now AI lets them do so. We’re going to start to use software for all new things in the economy because it’s incrementally cheaper to produce. Marketing teams at big companies will have engineers helping to automate workflows. Engineers in life sciences and healthcare will automate research. Small businesses will hire engineers for the first to build better digital experiences. And as long as AI agents still require a human who understands what to prompt, how to review when an agent goes off the rails, how it guide back, how to maintain the system that was built, how to fix the ongoing bugs, and more, we will still have humans managing these agents. This is why all the advice you get of not going into engineering is wrong. The world is going to increasingly be made up of software, and the people that understand it best will be in a strong economic position. This will happen in other roles as well where output goes up and demand increases.

AI is only as good as what it knows. For Oracle Database, that's been a problem. Built a library of 100+ practical guides to fix that — covering everything from PL/SQL to ORDS to migrations. Open source, MIT license. github.com/krisrice/oracl…

@AlexFinn you might have to upgrade your setup…

Private school in NYC is 70k College is $90k I asked @claudeai to make me a model of how much you would give to your kids over time if you put this into the markets, went to public school and skipped college. How on earth does private school make sense vs this?

9 years ago we founded JMJ Cloud on one idea: extend your ERP, stop buying more software. The pushback? "Too long. Too expensive." AI just flipped that equation. Wrote about it with my AI Chief of Staff, Ozzy. jmjcloud.com/blog/build-vs-…

Claude 4.6 Opus just refactored my entire codebase in one call. 25 tool invocations. 3,000+ new lines. 12 brand new files. It modularized everything. Broke up monoliths. Cleaned up spaghetti. None of it worked. But boy was it beautiful.

A new release for FreeSQL.com makes it even easier to get going with Oracle AI Database. There's now a Open In SQL Developer button. Go from no db to a connected sql developer in ~20 seconds. Simply login, click the "Connect with ..." button. Get your password. Click open in SQL Developer. Done. Not sure how to make it easier from here.

You can give AI agents access to Oracle AI Database via the SQLcl MCP Server. 💪 @thatjeffsmith uses this to generate a report of viewing habits in his Netflix data using Opus 4.1 social.ora.cl/6019CfMZN

Tom Lee says Ethereum could briefly dip to ~$2,400 calling it a “touch-and-go” bottom. He adds that this move would likely coincide with precious metals peaking. $BMNR
