Google just dropped a 1-hour course on agentic engineering from scratch: 00:00 – How to build your first AI agent 08:24 – Build agent memory (short, persistent, long) 28:34 – Agentic loops, long-running AI agents 40:04 – How to build MCP (MCP vs API) 1:00:22 – Multi-agentic systems This 1-hour watch will replace 10 paid agentic courses on the internet. Bookmark this. Watch this weekend.

A good collection of Spring AI Recipes by Craig Walls @SpringAICentral habuma.com/springairecipe…

@javaevolved @brunoborges StableValue has been renamed to LazyConstant in java 26

☕ Stable values Thread-safe lazy initialization without volatile or synchronized. Double-Checked Locking → StableValue (JDK 25+) 🔗 javaevolved.github.io/concurrency/st… #Java #JavaEvolved

Do it.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT. He knows his time is running out. So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour. He died 5 months later. This is that lecture. The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇 Bookmark it for later

Can Java microservices be as fast as Go? The real question is: which runtime shape do you want to operate, observe, tune, deploy, and live with in production? Check out this detailed examination. social.ora.cl/6017BDJTK7

Claude and friends like #Java for problem solving (...performance of different models for AutoCodeBench. Current Upper Bound represents the Pass@1 value calculated by taking the union of problems correctly solved by all models...)👇

"Why does our top performer get the worst reviews?" the boss asked. I was reviewing their annual performance data. "Show me," I said. She pulled up the ratings. Diana: 2.8 out of 5. Below average on "collaboration." Low marks for "team player." "What's her actual performance?" I asked. "Exceeded every target. Landed our biggest client. Trained three new hires." "So why the low scores?" "Her peer reviews are dragging her down." I scanned the comments. "Too direct." "Challenges ideas too much." "Not supportive enough." "Let me talk to Diana," I said. "I used to give honest feedback," Diana told me. "Said our pricing model was broken. Got dinged for 'negativity.'" "What happened with the pricing?" "They finally fixed it six months later. After we lost two major accounts." "What else?" "I questioned why we needed eleven approvals for a simple contract change. Manager said I wasn't being collaborative." "Are you still giving feedback?" "No. I learned my lesson. Now I smile. Nod. Say everything's great. My reviews are improving." "But nothing's actually improving?" "We're making the same mistakes. Just with better vibes." She chuckled. I went back to the boss. "Your review system doesn't measure performance," I said. "It measures compliance." "That's not true." "When was the last time someone got promoted for challenging bad ideas?" Silence. "When did someone get rewarded for preventing a mistake?" More silence. "You've trained your best people to stay quiet. And your mediocre people to stay nice." A few months later, they redesigned the system. Added a category: "Constructive Challenge." Points for identifying problems early. Rewards for preventing costly mistakes. Diana got promoted. "What changed?" I asked the boss. "We stopped confusing agreement with alignment. Stopped mistaking silence for harmony." "And?" "Turns out our 'difficult' people were our most valuable. They actually cared enough to speak up." Here's the truth about performance reviews: Most companies don't reward performance. They reward performance theater. The person who says the meeting was great beats the person who says it wasted an hour. The person who agrees with bad ideas beats the person who prevents disasters. You think you're measuring contribution. You're measuring conformity. And your best people? They've already figured out the game. They're just deciding whether to play it or find somewhere that values truth over comfort.

Twelve models worth knowing in 2026, each with one standout strength.

@sivalabs Such a small thing but make a huge difference.

someone open sourced a tool that reads your entire codebase and explains it back to you. → you join a new team with 200,000 lines of code and zero documentation → one command scans every file, function, class, and dependency → builds an interactive visual dashboard you can explore → semantic search ask "which parts handle auth?" and it finds everything → shows ripple effects of your changes before you commit → auto-groups code by architectural layer API, Service, Data, UI → works with Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and more → completely free and open source onboarding a new codebase will never be the same.

instead of watching 2 hours of Netflix tonight, watch this Stanford lecture it's the clearest explanation I've seen of how ChatGPT and Claude actually work useful whether you've never touched AI in your life or have been using it every day for the past year I took the key ideas and turned them into a practical guide on how to actually get 100% out of Claude find it below

two professors at Wisconsin spent 25 years teaching operating systems together then they wrote a 714 page textbook about "Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces" it covers virtualizing the CPU virtualizing memory concurrency persistence security and file systems small enough to read in parts and also it is written like a conversation not a typical textbook this is what you read if you want to really understand how operating systems work not just the theory

Two of the masterclasses in my current reading list. Both from @ManningBooks ..

This is bad advice. 6 books is roughly 1800 pages. That'll take forever to finish. Pick up the InterviewReady course instead, and finish it in a month. Don't give yourself impossible challenges.
