In the long run, nobody wins by being associated with this administration (unless you’re a Trump, of course). Silicon Valley will learn that lesson sooner or later, I hope. www.theinformation.com/articles/whi...

Overheard a manager at the airport talking about an employee who has tomorrow off and won’t attend an in-person meeting because of that. She insists they need to come in. It’s about important backoffice stuff. “This isn’t work, it’s a meeting.”

Some days you run to make your flight and then there’s no crew to fly that flight. Today is one of those days.

This was a fun interview with Richard Seroter at Google Cloud Next (even though I was a good 15 minutes late trying to get from one end of the Mandalay Bay to another). thenewstack.io/google-doesn...

Marking our 250th year by having the British King visit to remind us about the development of the rule of law, while the president reads lines presumably written by Stephen Miller about the transcendent nobility of the mythic English blood.

In Vegas this week. Somebody screwed up my reservation at the W, so I’m in the Mandalay Bay, but the view is alright.

Perfectly reasonable. Perfectly normal. What’s a billion worth these days anyway? An hour of Claude Code tokens?

Do I hear echoes of Copilot Recall reverberating in the cloud? developers.openai.com/codex/memori...

I often find myself forgetting about the Gemini models. There’s a great release and then that’s immediately overshadowed by OpenAI and Anthropic. And those will have 5 updates before we get another Gemini again. www.theinformation.com/articles/goo...

Has Stitch Fix announced an AI pivot yet?

Congrats! You now have private access to a model that’s almost as good as some other ones. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/08/m...

Channels for Claude Code are cool, but to me, the most interesting developments around Claude have been the new Cowork features like schedule, dispatch, etc. Schedule probably accounts for most of my token usage and always makes me wonder why I should use the claws code.claude.com/docs/en/chan...

The Pentagon's Anthropic problem is every enterprise's AI problem

I don’t know anything about what happened behind the scenes with the OpenAI/Department of Defense deal, but also… people have quit SV jobs for less.

I can't remember when I last saw a company have a better PR run than Anthropic.

Now it’s OpenAI’s turn. www.anthropic.com/news/stateme...

I’m trying to imagine what that meeting between Pete Hegseth and Dario Amodai was like. Can’t imagine they have much in common.

Me: Great. Flight to Amsterdam is arriving early. Might even get an earlier train to my father’s place. Also me: in a hotel in Amsterdam 12 hours later because the trains didn’t run all day because of snow. Not a proud Dutchman today.

That SCSI cable from my 1990s scanner will come in handy one day…

Truly the dumbest timeline.

Fresh from #KubeCon, The New Stack’s @fredericl.bsky.social sits down with new @cncf.io Executive Director Jonathan Bryce to unpack the foundation’s next chapter.

In this episode of The New Stack Makers, we discussed how AI is reshaping developer roles, why GitLab is building an agent orchestration platform, and what the "meta agent" of the future might look like. By @fredericl.bsky.social, thanks to @gitlab.com

These are actually some good Google Search updates? blog.google/products/sea...

I appreciate them doing this because it'll only raise the value of having real people on real podcasts.

If I see you talking into your Pebble ring, I'll give you a wide berth and unfollow you on LinkedIn. www.theverge.com/gadgets/8403...

Werner’s last keynote. End of an era.

If this is really Werner’s last re:Invent keynote, then this is a fitting way to wrap up.

A very analog opening to the Werner Vogels closing keynote at re:Invent. String quartet and a newspaper.

Your most rewarding AWS re:Invent evening is waiting. Network with VIPs and discuss the future of the stack with TNS Founder @alexwilliams.bsky.social and Senior Editor for AI, @fredericl.bsky.social. Hosted by The New Stack and Hydrolix, Dec 1 at 6PM. www.eventbrite.com/e/reinvent-r...

Most of my mobile searches on Google now trigger the Web Guide and I’m not upset about it. They are quite helpful and a nice hybrid between AI Overviews and blue links. blog.google/products/sea...

Based on my inbox, I’m guessing AWS released the media list for re:Invent yesterday or today. Only problem: at this point, I can’t really fathom taking any additional meetings. #reinvent

It’s rough out here in Portland. Wore a GitHub swag hoodie. Guy stopped me and asked if I had some premium credits. Stay safe out there, everybody.

When it comes to AI, says Keith Ballinger of Google, developers need to slow down to speed up the process: write clear guides for AI agents, focus on architecture and create a project plan. By @fredericl.bsky.social

GitHub unveiled Agent HQ at Universe 2025, a new platform that integrates third-party coding agents directly into GitHub.

Special guest at GitHub Univers: Satya Nadella.

GitHub is adding a new developer every second.

I’m at GitHub Universe today.
