My “no-meeting Friday” was in shambles today with eight meetings. Fortunately those were productive meetings. Now I’m off to see my favorite band perform, and enjoy a sunny weekend. Could be worse!
[article] Knowing When to Stop: The Art of Making a Loop Converge. “Definition of done” is an important standard to set. For agents too. Be good about setting verifiers at each cycle to avoid endless refinement.
[blog] Guest Posts: Fake Clocks, Real Guarantees: Inside Go’s synctest. This offers an absurd level of detail, but I love when people invest in sharing this depth of knowledge.
[article] GitHub pushes stacked pull requests into public preview. I saw people chirping about this online (“is it necessary or not”) but being able to break up large code changes into a smaller set of PRs doesn’t seem like a bad thing.
[blog] Give any website a WebMCP interface. Great to see this! WebMCP is still early, but I like giving agents a way to efficiently “understand” your web app.
[blog] Flutter Q2 2026 survey — trust, transparency, and an evolving community. This is a vibrant and happy community. But it’s important that these community surveys also bubble up areas of improvement, which this one did.
[blog] Rewrite All the Code, All the Time. Will code end up being the replaceable byproduct of specifications? Maybe. This argues we still need to refine the semantics we use to describe our systems.
[blog] Go 1.27 interactive tour. See what’s new in this upcoming release, and actually execute the commands from within the post.
[article] InfoQ Culture and Methods Trends Report – 2026. A lot is changing, right? This post helps you visualize what’s super nascent, and what practices are in the late majority.
[blog] How and Why Netflix Built a Real-Time Distributed Graph: Part 3 — Querying the graph with gRPC execution API. The Netflix engineering team goes deep into their distributed graph that has some amazing response times.
