Daily Reading List – March 23, 2026 (#747)

I flew into San Jose last night ahead of today’s in-person rehearsal for the Google Cloud Next developer keynote. Super fun day with people I have a lot of affection for. Tomorrow, off to New York City for 24 hours.

[blog] Developer AI Tooling in 2026: Trends Shaping How We Build (https://platform.uno/blog/ai-tooling-trends-shaping-how-we-build/). This seems like a good assessment of where dev tools are right now.

[blog] End-to-End AI Agent on GCP: ADK, BigQuery MCP, Agent Engine, and Cloud Run (https://medium.com/google-cloud/end-to-end-ai-agent-on-gcp-adk-bigquery-mcp-agent-engine-and-cloud-run-4843fec27c13). Whether you’re using cloud services or not, most agent architectures include a mix of components that you stitch together.

[youtube-video] Google just changed the future of UI/UX design… (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaB5HF4ax9M) Great Fireship video that explores Google Stitch, a lifesaver for those of us who don’t create great frontend designs.

[blog] Is the IDE dead? (https://addyo.substack.com/p/death-of-the-ide) The code editor is becoming a “read only” view for more and more people. Addy looks at the role of the IDE moving forward.

[paper] Cloud Infrastructure in the Agent-Native Era (https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/cloud_infrastructure_in_the_agent_native_era.pdf). We snuck this cool little paper out (direct link to PDF). Cloud native infrastructure was a step forward, but AI apps and agents need something further.

[blog] The Three Pillars of JavaScript Bloat (https://43081j.com/2026/03/three-pillars-of-javascript-bloat). How do dependency trees result in a bloated app? I can be hard to unravel, but there’s some advice here.

[blog] Architecture Is On The Hook For GenAI Success (https://www.forrester.com/blogs/architecture-is-on-the-hook-for-genai-success/). That sounds like something an architect would say! There’s definitely truth to the reality that scaling AI in any company will depend on platforms, guardrails, and good decisions.

[blog] AI Doesn’t Fail in the Demo – It Fails the First Time You Have to Trust It (https://thectoadvisor.com/blog/2026/03/16/ai-doesnt-fail-in-the-demo-it-fails-the-first-time-you-have-to-trust-it/). I can build a mean demo that gets you excited. But what matters is what it takes to trust AI tech at scale in your company.

[[blog] Same Old (https://robertglazer.substack.com/p/friday-forward-same-old-528). Very few things are “unprecedented.” It’s one reason I try to read a lot of history to gain perspective.

[article] Cursor admits its new coding model was built on top of Moonshot AI’s Kimi (https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/22/cursor-admits-its-new-coding-model-was-built-on-top-of-moonshot-ais-kimi/). If you’re not shipping your own model, just say so. It’s ok. Cursor did right by quickly acknowledging this and giving credit.

[blog] How Slack Rebuilt Notifications (https://slack.engineering/how-slack-rebuilt-notifications/). Different mental models, overlapping settings, and more makes chat systems like Slack overwhelming. This looks like a smart redesign.
