I led AI enablement for a 3500-person engineering org.

I transformed our interview process to hire AI-native talent.

I build agents every day as part of my new role at the Agentic AI Foundation.

Come hang out with me tomorrow as I share what I've learned.

[Abhishek B R @abhitwt]

Every company’s AI workflow rn be like 😭💀

[Angie Jones @techgirl1908]

MCP is growing up, y'all.

The new release candidate has breaking changes, so yes, implementers have homework. But the direction is really healthy.

I wrote up what changed and what I'd test first

One of the most valuable things that you can do to accelerate your learning and career right now with AI & agents is to stop thinking in terms of tools and platforms. Don't box yourself in; do the opposite.

For instance, don't think only about Power BI if you're a "power bi" person; likewise for Tableau, Qlik, etc. You don't have to be the <tool> person anymore and I don't think it's helpful to think that way right now, at all.

Zoom out. Focus on the actual business problems and agnostic theory in your professional or interest space - both horizontally and vertically. Consider in that problem space what useful, effective (in cost and results) solutions actually look like. Be as much as possible solution and value-driven.

Step outside your comfort zone and your stack / vendor bubble and look broadly at what's happening in your market. Experiment and think outside the box; flex your brain and try things that seems outlandishly outside of your expertise area. You will experience some helpful friction and learn a lot.

If you are continuously focusing on using AI and agents with one specific tool or platform it's a bit the equivalent of using a power drill to make a better screwdriver. It might be the easiest and most immediately helpful in your job, but i don't think it's the most effective path forward for personal development (it might even be dangerous or counter productive). I don't think it's the best way to prepare for what this next "era" is shaping out to be.

I remembered the first time me and my wife filed together and i was shocked at the numbers. Such a blessing lol

New Ten Minute Tuesday 🎙️

Usually I'm interviewing someone. Today I put myself on the clock.

The challenge: build a Lakers dashboard in 10 min using only my voice. No keyboard. Just Claude + @motherduck .

Did I pull it off? 👀

Me reviewing the code written by Claude before pushing it to production.

@engineering_bae Let’s go!!! Congrats!

[Sekou Tyler @sqlsekou]

@kurtbuhler The formatting with the new card visuals drives me insane. So many clicks.

Looking forward to diving into this!

We're releasing the PBIR CLI shortly in the next days (some late issues with the distribution). We already published the pbir-cli skill a few days ago to help testers and get it integrated with the plugins. https://t.co/E7tCFOJjmI

But someone already capitalized on this - it strongly seems they pointed their agent at the skill and told it "make this" to slap together a CLI that works as the skill describes. They didn't even change the commands, flags, and even took the skills. They just shuffled skill content around in the markdowns, then published it on their own repo. Of course they didn't have the source code so what's behind it isn't comparable... we have a full schema-driven object model, for instance.

We knew this would likely happen when I started sharing the plugins. We anticipated it; it's obvious - it's why we never bothered trying to commercialize this. It seemed almost inevitable. We didn't anticipate it would happen so quickly, though! The commit trail is literally 1-2 days apart. Better than hours I guess.

This is just the way it is now. Anyone can just point their slopcannon at something shared and then copy it, make some noise, and benefit... in a matter of days or less. The work speaks for itself, but still - it's clear that whatever new era we're entering plays by some different rules.

Like recover all business controls ... tracking royalties ... locating money ... finding reg flags ... planning ... organizing years of information ... creating family office structure... business navigation ... I've been waiting my whole life for tools like this!
