View from under a bridge in Paris. Beautiful blue skies.

Working really hard to make it possible for me to work from anywhere. Why would I sit at a desk when I could work while wandering around Paris?

Introduction - Agent Client Protocol Get started with the Agent Client Protocol.

I'm finding this really nice/useful. I find different agents useful in different contexts, but they all roughly work the same way. It makes a lot of sense to keep communication with them consistent with a common protocol.

Have any of you built on top of ACP?

Defang V3 - I'm really excited about this! YouTube video by RaphaelTM

Defang V3 is out and I'm really excited about it!

It's honestly the product I've been wishing for since 2016, and this latest release makes it so much easier to use. I really love it and I hope you will too!

This week at Bière & Code 👇

🍺 Grab a beer
🤝 Meet other builders
💬 Talk about what you’re building (or thinking about building)

Engineers, designers, founders — all welcome.

Doesn't say great things about Apple that I regularly run this:

killall ControlCenter

(so that my mac will recognize that my iPad is connected and I can use it as an external monitor)

This Demo Day is for people who:
– ship side projects
– hack on hardware
– contribute to open source
– experiment and build MVPs

Come show the thing, get feedback, meet other builders.
~30 people, high signal, very hands-on.

Most demo days = pitch decks.

Ours =
👉 working code
👉 running devices
👉 actual prototypes

No pitching, no pressure — just “this is what I built” and real conversations.

If that sounds like your kind of event, you’ll fit right in.

We’re looking for a few partners/sponsors aligned with builders:
– cloud & infra
– hardware / PCB
– dev tools
– research & innovation orgs

Low-key event, real demos, engaged builders.
DMs open if you want to get involved 🤝

I've used AI to build out 80% of the software I wrote in 2025.

Building the wrong way can lead to tremendous amounts of problems:

1. Frequent bugs
2. Unscalable designs
3. Broken features

Simply put: Great code scales, bad code does not.

Why? AI is a gap filler.

This tracks with my experience. I've really enjoyed GitHub's spec kit as well to help define boundaries and manage the process. I think there are gaps in tooling to establish and monitor contracts between developer and AI. Tests kinda fulfil this, but they aren't quite what I'm looking for.

Defang keeps networking familiar: public services use load balancers, private services run in isolated subnets, and internal DNS handles service-to-service calls.
It’s the Compose networking model applied securely and at scale in your cloud.

More info https://docs.defang.io/docs/concepts/networking

Missing or broken Dockerfiles are a common deployment failure. Defang avoids this by using Railpack to build images automatically for Node, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, PHP, Elixir, and static sites.

Just bring your app and a Compose file.

> On March 1, 2026, we are introducing a new $0.002 per-minute GitHub Actions cloud platform charge that will apply to self-hosted runner usage.

Bonkers. Per invocation? Maybe. Monthly fee? Maybe. But per minute for this? That's the sort of thing that shatters trust.

Should be a good discussion!

J'ai utilisé BitBucket pour un projet il y a environ deux ans. J'ai trouvé que c'était très semblable à Github honnêtement pour git et CI/CD. J'imagine que plusieurs utilisent l'intégration avec Jira++

Qui a testé Bitbucket récemment (pour remplacer un github + github action) ?

Mes derniers usages de bitbucket c'était en 2008 avec Mercurial (pas de git à l'époque). Autant dire que j'ai pas une vision très à jour de l'outil....

A different kind of AI imagery Some thoughts on how new image-generation tools are changing creative habits, reshaping expectations, and influencing the way people approach visual work.

I recently wrote about AI-generated imagery, but not from the “AI vs. artists” angle. I am more interested in how these tools change the way we work with the tools we already have.

Question for you: how (if at all) are you using AI in your visual or creative workflows right now? I am curious what is working, what is not, and what you are still unsure about.

Was ambivalent about Carlos Sainz before. But loving what he's doing in a Williams!

A screenshot from Google’s Antigravity IDE. A warning message reads: “Access to file .env.test is prohibited by .gitignore.” Beneath it, the interface shows “Thought for 1s,” followed by a terminal block where the command cat .env.test is displayed.

Google's Antigravity was blocked from directly reading my .env.test file (shouldn't have been the case as it's not mentioned anywhere in the .gitignore). It promptly decided to run cat in the terminal to get around what I assume is a security protocol 😂

I'm thinking of using github.com/MrLesk/Backl... to help keep a coding agent on track. Have you tried it or anything similar?

I remember checking in on this stuff as far back as 2016 (diff url) and thinking "yay! This might actually happen!"

Little did I know...

PHP 8.5 Released PHP 8.5 is a major update of the PHP language, with new features including the URI Extension, Pipe Operator, and support for modifying properties while cloning.

#PHP got the pipe operator before #JS 😭
