Big news. Login with Cloudflare is here.

spent most of last two days on a zodiac. my gyros haven’t recovered from the aggressive need to stabilise. it’s going to take a while to shake off this drunk man’s walk while on land.

Cloudflare's Code Mode post argued agents are more efficient with code than a menu of MCP tools.

We ran the experiment on monday's GraphQL API.
SDK: 1 step, 15k tokens.
Real MCP server: 4 steps, 158k tokens. 8.4× the cost, same output.

Avoid installing packages in local machines, delegate to cloud agents, or use sandboxes, containers. Mini-Shai-Hulud worms are spreading and hijacking package publications since April 2026. Use @pnpmjs, @SocketSecurity firewall sfw.

[Omkar Khair @omtalk]

Code should not see credentials. Not in production. Not in acceptance. Not on the developer machine. There is no way around it.

This is crazy. The hacker installed a dead-man's switch that will wipe your computer if you revoke the GitHub token they stole from you. Revoking the token is what triggers the wipe.

[Socket @SocketSecurity]

Update: Socket has found 121 more compromised npm package artifacts across 84 package names, including 64 UiPath artifacts.

Combined w/ TanStack, the current known total is 205 affected npm package artifacts across enterprise automation, AI/MCP, auth, workflow, and dev tooling.

Where in the world can you find a senior government leader with a personal AI stack published on GitHub?
How many would be willing to talk about it in a room full of builders?

Which is why we are so incredibly honoured to welcome Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, to the lineup of speakers for @aiDotEngineer Singapore.

A few weeks ago, Minister Balakrishnan casually dropped a technical writeup of his personal AI system online.

Raspberry Pi. Claude. Local embeddings. Knowledge graphs. A full architecture breakdown.

And the global AI community noticed because it reflected something bigger: a willingness to engage with these systems directly, publicly, and practically.

To kick off AIE Singapore, Minister Balakrishnan will share his experience experimenting with open-source AI tools and building a “second brain” workflow, alongside broader reflections on how AI may reshape global dynamics, and the way people work, think, and manage information.

In a role that demands navigating enormous volumes of information and constant context-switching, his reflections will set the tone for the conference in exactly the way we hoped:

That meaningful conversations about AI should not stay abstract.

They should involve understanding its parameters through practical engagement with the technology.

And that Singapore has become the place where that kind of engagement happens seriously.

I’ve long admired automatic watches for their engineering, but today I have a newfound respect. Pulled out a Bambino a friend gifted me after 4 months, and it’s still running. It sits in a busy drawer. Those ambient daily shakes from opening and closing the drawer were enough to keep it alive. wow!

There’s few pieces that motivate me to write. This has been one of them. Time jog up that blog a little.

“I am moved by the idea that our future could feel less futuristic than pastoral. High tech could save us from high tech. We'd go back to the old interfaces without giving up the conveniences of the new ones. Read, write, communicate, create—and hardly ever see or touch a screen.”

The number of people asking OP to not remind Google that the have left a RSS feed open is so funny that it’s not even funny.
