@dexhorthy I really enjoyed this, thank you!

wanna get the real scoop on context engineering and why you should care? Check out my AI Engineer Worlds fair talk from June 3 2025 👇

Jules now listens to GitHub issues. Add the 'jules' label to any issue and your task kicks off automatically No context switches. Just label and go. Make sure the Jules GitHub App has access to your repo, then let the magic happen.

Excited to share that the new, open-source Gemini CLI is here! It brings the power of Gemini directly into your terminal. The highlights for me are: ✅ Open Source (Apache 2.0) 🤯 1000 requests/day at no charge! 💻 Seamlessly integrates into your scripts & workflows. 🧠 Powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro with a 1M token context window. Here I demonstrate how the Gemini CLI can streamline app development with databases. I cover generating complex SQL statements, exporting data, and even database backups. 👉 goo.gle/4lmAouj

@julesagent Do you have a resource for AGENTS.md best practices? Maybe we could get some samples added to github.com/google-labs-co… 😀?

New Jules agent just dropped. - Reads AGENTS.md - Faster runs - Less punting when it can actually do the thing - Reliable env setup (if you’ve scripted it) - Improved test writing & running Try it out and tell us what you break. Follow along with the full changelog: jules.google/docs/changelog/

@cso4x @julesagent The UI has improved significantly over the last couple of weeks and even in the last few days. I can't speak for Brave, but on Chrome it is running well (hugely better than a month ago!)

@julesagent Jules is very clever. But that user interface is horrible. How many times I've been left with it saying it's waiting for me, with no visible prompt. Also it simply stops (this may be due to overload). It also stops if you switch away from tab (this may be a Brave thing)

We're working hard on fixing bugs and implementing your suggestions. A few things that have shipped the past few days: ✅ Improved notification handling 📱Key mobile fixes 🐙More reliable GitHub pushes Thank you for all the amazing feedback. Some things we've heard 🧵

I’ll be honest with you. Our @googlecloud Gemini Code Assist was useful, but with too many rough edges. My DevRel team, along with product, engineering, and even @ThomasOrTK had enough. So we’ve spent months removing friction from it. It’s not perfect, but it’s better! A 🧵:

@ThomKnepper @tobi @SaltandSundry Or their next hosting bill 😬

@tobi @SaltandSundry Haha someone is going to be really surprised by the amount of traffic on their website today.

A order on @SaltandSundry just tipped Shopify over the 1 trillion(!) in cumulative GMV. Monumental milestone for us. A beautiful small business run by Amanda McClemens in DC. Couldn't have been a better example of what makes Shopify special: shopsaltandsundry.com/pages/about

@Wise can you have someone who knows what they're doing look at my support issue. I've had 2 useless replies that have been of no help. I only opened my account today and can't get my card loaded into my Google wallet. I might as well close my account if I can't get this fixed

@journalisticapp I love your app! Question, why don't tags and @ mentions work in Notes, Wisdom and Ideas? Would be great to have this consistency, but across the different contexts. Also you should get on with a paid version or at least a voluntarily paid version!

@ReadwiseReader @ArtemLitch @mitchelljustin0 @TucciMatias @homsiT @lynchy010 @eliias I hope this doesn’t mean making the current web app a secondary focus to desktop clients. As a Chromebook user and paid subscriber, I love Reader and have been heavily using the offline functionality over the last month.

@ArtemLitch @mitchelljustin0 @TucciMatias @homsiT @lynchy010 @eliias oh dang we almost forgot, we also just shipped a new (beta) native desktop app for Reader you can get macOS here: readwise.io/read/download and our sources tell us Windows is coming very 🔜

We're delighted to announce that our Performance Refactor has finally shipped today 🚀 The Reader mobile/web apps should now be 2x to 100x faster across basically every metric (interaction speed, memory usage, loading times, etc)

@nicoegodoy @ProductHunt I'm biased (I'm a Googler) but I'm loving our new Tasks app.

@ProductHunt Taskboard, for GoogleTask, and Google Calendar.

What's your go-to app for staying organized?

@anant_codes No problem, I'm glad you found it of value. If it's ok, I'd be grateful if you shared my blog. Thank you.

@samcurrie Thank you. And it was a very informative blog, because people should know about the Skill Boost program since it offers multiple learning paths.

Recently I shared that I've passed the Google Cloud Digital Leader certification! This was a challenging but rewarding experience, and I learned so much about the cloud and how it can be used to benefit businesses. A thread🧵

@CodingHispanic No problem, I'm glad you found it of value. If it's ok, I'd be grateful if you shared my blog. Thank you.

@samcurrie This is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

By the end of the year, I am hoping to get the AI900, SC900, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, Google Cloud Foundational certification, Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) and CC: Certified in Cybersecurity (CC).

@conorwebdev @AmiasYaska Gets even better if you sign up for the Innovators program. Get $1000 credit for $300 - see samscloudblog.dev/posts/blog-ski…

@AmiasYaska A lot of those serverless services have fantastic free tiers Which also makes them great for small projects GCP has a great free tier as well

Day5 of #100DaysOfAWS I have practised lambda which is a serverless AWS service. Its free-tier is great. Also got to know about: - API Gateway -Batch -Lightsail On to the next services.

@juliafmorgado If your project requires more than the Google free tier provides, sign up for the Innovators program. See samscloudblog.dev/posts/blog-ski…

7️⃣ Come up with a personal project: Implement a simple web app, chatbot, or task automation script. Write a comprehensive Readme, create diagrams, and document your project on your blog. Share your progress and insights on social media.

10 Steps guide to start your Tech journey! 🚀 1️⃣ Commit to Study: Determine what you want to learn and dedicate at least the next 90 days to focused study and set aside dedicated time on your calendar.

@juliafmorgado Google Cloud free tier is really generous and doesn't have a 12 month limit. See samscloudblog.dev/posts/blog-fre…

6️⃣ Sign up for a Free Tier Cloud Account: Explore cloud services from providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure. Utilize their free tier accounts to experiment, build projects, and gain practical experience.

@MB9809801768112 Probably one of the best things you can do, is sign up your own test org with the free tier. This way you can go thru setting up an org with policies etc. I also wrote a blog on this - samscloudblog.dev/posts/blog-fre…

@MB9809801768112 and practise exams to help understand your areas for improvement. I'm a big fan of Skills Boost, GCP's learning platform. Also the Innovators Program that gives you an exam voucher & up to $1,000 GCP credits for $300. I wrote a blog on it, see samscloudblog.dev/posts/blog-ski…

I just failed the GCP security specialist exam, and wanted to share my thoughts with you all. I think the exam was a little too difficult, and I wasn't able to pass it on my first try. If you're considering taking the GCP security specialist exam
