The @nordicapis Summit is a wrap! Here's some of my top takeaways on preparing APIs for agents from the event:
nordicapis.com/nordic-apis-s…
Here are my slides for my opening keynote at @nordicapis Summit 2026! My 25-minute talk looked at how AI agents are forcing major shifts in how they interact with APIs.

This week’s Road to KubeCon on @thenewstack
looks at new projects for hosting agentic workloads and running agents on Kubernetes.
Also: Platform Engineering Day, AI coding, compliance ownership, and one cautionary tale about "infrastructure theatrics."

As AI agents make code easier to generate, the pendulum is swinging back toward up-front planning, understanding, and judgment.
Happy to contribute to Arthur D. Little's PRISM publication:

Landed in Stockholm for @nordicapis Summit! Ready to talk agentic AI and APIs.
My latest Road to KubeCon is out on @thenewstack. The focus this week: optimizing Kubernetes infrastructure for AI compute.

More agentic development is coming, predicts Angie Jones (@techgirl1908), VP at @AgenticAIFdn.
That said, it'll take more skills development around nondeterminism, MCP governance, and agentic observability.

Excited to share that I'll be speaking at SecureMaine this week! I'm giving a talk on Oct. 8 on securing agentic AI, then moderating a roundtable later in the day.

Meta is using AI agents to turn senior engineers’ judgment into reusable skills, helping recover hundreds of megawatts of power and speed up regression detection/remediation.
Interesting case study of AI agents tied to real efficiency gains:

Why go to a conference when there's endless content to consume? Expert guidance, curated experiences, hallway discussions, serendipitous connections, and firsthand knowledge can still set in-person events apart. nordicapis.com/why-in-person…
Another Friday, another Road to KubeCon. This week: agent harnesses, Koordinator GPU gains, Atlassian incident detection, Security Slam, ArgoCon, and sci-fi DevOps via MCP. Plus a special @CloudNativeFdn offer for KubeCon 👀

Many CIOs are still in evaluation mode when it comes to alternative clouds. My latest @CIOonline feature looks at what enterprises should consider before making the jump:

Another virtual conference with AI Security University is on the books! 😎 The next one is on AI pen-testing.

2 weeks to go til Nordic APIs Summit. 🤯
The speaker lineup is one of the best we've ever assembled.
With the headlines focusing on AI agent breaches I can't think of a better time for this event.

We had an incredible virtual MCP Security Conference last week! Hundreds tuned in, and the discussion was electric. The videos from the sessions are now live.

A new @YaleClimateComm + @github survey finds most GitHub users believe AI contributes to climate change.
It's more than AI doomerism, though. They recommend concrete actions IT can take to curb waste.
My latest on @TheLeadDev explores the report:

Should you monetize MCP? I'm not sure. But let's say if you did, there are a few methods.
My post on @Zuplo tries to break down a few emerging approaches to MCP monetization:

Another week, another bulletin from yours truly covering the cloud native world as we count down the days to @KubeCon_ NA.
This past week in cloud native saw a lot of movement in and around observability. Check it out on @thenewstack:

Last reminder that the virtual MCP Security Conference tomorrow, 12-3PM EST. Stop by for a solid panel discussion on MCP security issues, Q&A, a solution showcase, and talks from from an end user and MCP maintainer.
