Introducing Microsoft Scout: Your always-on personal agent in Teams with WorkIQ + OpenClaw https://t.co/p7cyFZqxbd

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

Claude Opus 4.8 is out today. It's our strongest coding model yet: up on SWE-bench Pro (from 64.3 to 69.2) and noticeably more honest about its own work. It tells you when it's unsure and catches its own bugs instead of declaring victory early. Same price as 4.7.

MICROSOFT OPEN-SOURCED A GOVERNANCE LAYER FOR YOUR AI AGENTS

and it's exactly what agentic ai has been missing

here's what agent governance toolkit does:

▫️ intercepts every tool call in deterministic code before it hits the wire denied actions aren't unlikely, they're structurally impossible
▫️ yaml policy engine lets you allow, deny, or require human approval per action
▫️ zero-trust identity via spiffe/did/mtls no more 5 agents sharing one api key
▫️ 4-level execution sandbox with privilege rings so agents can't escape their scope
▫️ tamper-evident merkle audit logs for compliance and incident response
▫️ covers all 10/10 owasp agentic top 10 risks
▫️ works with langchain, crewai, autogen, openai agents sdk, semantic kernel, and more

one pip install...any framework...python, typescript, go, rust, .net all supported

because "please follow the rules" in a system prompt is not a guardrail...it's a suggestion

[Nick Lemke, RD | Sports Nutrition for Athletes @nicklemkerd]

The athlete who sends their own email to the college coach.
... Who speaks up for themselves when something is wrong.
... Who gets to a first and third situation in a big game and figures it out without looking to the dugout.

That kid was built at home.

@CompleteGame has worked with athletes at every level for almost 30 years (college programs, MLB organizations, all of it).
And what he keeps coming back to is this: the athletes who show up differently on the field came from families where they were allowed to fail. They were allowed to do hard things.

The overprotected athlete though?
When it gets hard and they have never had to figure anything out on their own, they need a script.

Want the full episode on what it takes to be an elite hitter? Comment PODCAST and I will send it over.

[Pierce Boggan @pierceboggan]

VS Code was already used by millions of developers for agentic coding. However, the editor layout has traditionally been optimized for single-task and single-workspace workflows.

Today, we're introducing a new window to enable our users (and ourselves!) to work with multiple agents across multiple projects: Agents.

Now available in VS Code stable!

@DMVSoccerDotNet Welcome to the transfer portal before college even started

[Patrick Curran @PCfromDC]

Asking my network for a favor.

My three kids are heading into the job market this summer, and I'm doing what any dad would do — leveraging every connection I have.

MICROSOFT DROPPED THEIR OWN FRAMEWORK FOR BUILDING MULTI-AGENT AI WORKFLOWS

Building ai agents from scratch is a mess..tool calling breaks,
orchestration gets complicated, observability is an afterthought

Microsoft agent framework handles all of it

graph-based workflows, human-in-the-loop, streaming, checkpointing, built-in opentelemetry. a devui for testing and debugging your agents visually

python & .NET both fully supported

coming from autogen or semantic kernel? there's a migration guide

https://t.co/dr862ummQN

this is microsoft going all-in on agentic ai infrastructure

@Don_K_Williams Leave it up to the kids. is there a waiver system? What if the kids are being helped with tuition for HS because they play soccer (unofficially of course)

ADVICE to College Players thinking about transferring:
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!

DO NOT talk to your teammates about any unhappiness
DO NOT talk to other students on campus about any discontent
DO NOT talk to that cool young assistant or cool young assistant trainer who you think you can trust to keep the conversation private

You may not even be able to trust your old youth coach to keep their mouth shut (depends on who they are)
Trust only your family & trusted confidant’s

Once you have talked to your coaches & are in the portal, you can tell others

Even then, DO NOT bad mouth your school, your staff or your teammates

It’s a small, small world in college soccer ⚽️
Be smart

Need help?
Just ask
All conversations are fully confidential
We do this professionally

DM from D1 coach on this topic:

Hi Don

Saw your last post.

We immediately stop recruiting players who post “just got an offer” or do the “not committed” post to show off they were on a visit.

We find it disrespectful

PSA @jeffersoncup girls team—the beautiful, historic, and elite William & Mary is an hour east of Richmond!

Top 5 things to visit when you check it out this weekend:

1. The Cheese Shop 🤤 is a lot more than cheese. We will put their sandwiches up against anyone in the world! #IYKYK.

2. The Wren Building: our flagship Hallmark is under renovation, but still open to the public. Go check out the oldest academic building in the nation and where Thomas Jefferson studied.

3. Colonial Williamsburg: Duke of Gloucester (DOG) street is adjacent to campus and a walk back in history. We don’t call it the most unique college town in the country for nothing.

4. The old part of campus, sunken gardens etc. Simply stunning and you’ll see why we make prettiest campus lists.

5. Dillard Complex/Jill Ellis Field/Martin Family Stadium— just 2 min from campus, the entire complex is our own personal soccer island where we train and play. It’s only two minutes from campus. And if you’re up for it you can watch us versus local Richmond opponent VCU Saturday night at 6:30! On the practice field so bring chairs for a close-up college game experience

@Don_K_Williams @rocketscienceAZ Won't get there with the grades and experience. JUCO would be his come to Jesus moment. Succeed there and you can go D1. It's not a failure for, but a reassessment and regrouping to move forward
