Martin Fowler makes a useful distinction: humans in the loop vs on the loop. The real leverage with AI agents may be in designing the system around them (specs, checks, tests, and feedback), not manually catching every mistake. martinfowler.com/articles/explo…

We’re hiring a Senior Backend-Focused Django Developer at Scalable Path: remote, full-time, with a fintech client in home equity investment. Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Docker, Redis, AWS. Apply: scalablepath.com/view-position/… #Hiring #Django #Python

NCF Annual Cloud Native Survey: a snapshot of what’s running in production. Surprised: 82% of container users run Kubernetes in prod, K8s is the common platform for microservices and ML/LLM ops. cncf.io/reports/the-cn…

For years, AWS was our default for app hosting, we advised clients and used it ourselves. We pressure-tested that choice vs alternatives and found a route to 80% lower costs, 5-month payback, and 3-4× faster performance on similar workloads. Full write-up: scalablepath.com/insights/cloud…

Commit & Push Ep9: Kevin Williams (Ascend AI) breaks down “agentic commerce” and the zero-click shift, discovery + checkout moving into LLM chats. What it means for brands, schema/feed strategy, and measurement. 🎧 youtube.com/watch?v=3l-hK0…

We featured Replit’s Snapshot Engine in this month’s newsletter: it “time-travels” app state by forking + checkpointing a whole project fast. Agents can experiment safely, and you can roll back instantly. Real leverage: guardrails + reproducibility. 🔗 blog.replit.com/inside-replits…

Really enjoyed this breakdown of why Moltbot hit 100K+ GitHub stars without having its own “AI model.” Many “AI products” are smart layers on top of existing models—workflow, UX, and reliable outcomes. youtu.be/bQXi5Nd8c40

Ep 8 of Commit & Push is live 🎙️ I talked with Brit Myers (VP Eng, System Initiative) on why infrastructure automation hits a ceiling—and how a “digital twin” + change sets let AI agents safely simulate changes before prod. 🎧 Listen now → Apple Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/col…

Keeping an eye on AI agent standardization after reading this. If the Linux Foundation’s AAIF is pushing interoperable agent building blocks (MCP + AGENTS.md + Goose), it feels like an “early web protocols” moment for agents. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/12/big…

In 2025, ~70% of Scalable Path’s posts were AI, That wasn’t a content strategy so much as a mirror: more curiosity about how dev is changing. Patterns: copilots→agents, demos→maintainability, code-first→spec-first. What’s working for you? #AI #AgenticAI #SoftwareEngineering

Final article of 2025: Google Antigravity review, DeepMind’s agent-first bet on faster, safer dev. Big idea isn’t “AI in an IDE” but delegating real tasks to an agent, then reviewing like any workstream. Read it here: scalablepath.com/ai/google-anti… #AI #SoftwareEngineering #AgenticAI

We published a new Scalable Path piece on the rise of the “vibe code fixer”, a role emerging as AI-assisted coding goes mainstream. As generation gets easier, the work shifts to guiding, reviewing, and correcting AI output. Worth a read: scalablepath.com/ai/rise-vibe-c…

From all of us at Scalable Path: thank you for being part of our journey this year. 🙌 May this holiday season bring you connection, laughter, and moments to recharge. Here’s to meaningful projects, new opportunities, and shared success in the coming year.

Read Vellum’s 2025 State of AI report, clear sign the field has entered practical use. More teams are launching real products, expanding agentic workflows, and addressing issues like hallucinations and tooling gaps. Worth a look: vellum.ai/state-of-ai-20…

Episode 7 of Commit & Push is live. 🎙️ Rob Whiteley (CEO, Coder) and I talk about dev environments built for humans—and what changes when agents run inside them: context, tools, trust, and long refactors. Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/21pPrM… #Agents

Building AI products is less about the model and more about team alignment. We wrote a hands-on guide to running AI projects with Spec-Driven Development, using GitHub Spec Kit and a trip-planner agent. Less guesswork, more shared understanding: 🔗 scalablepath.com/machine-learni…

New pattern: spin up AI agents in parallel, then review/merge outputs. Best with tight tasks; review, not generation, is the bottleneck. Doing this already? blog.pragmaticengineer.com/new-trend-prog… #AIEngineering #LLMAgents
