What happens when AI agents can actually learn from experience? @yaboilyrical of @NousResearch breaks down how Hermes Agent builds reusable skills, retains context, and improves over time instead of starting from scratch with every session.

VS Code Insiders now supports skills-over-MCP! Enable it in your settings, then try a server that has skills, or whip up a @fastmcp server with some skills. Run into issues? File them in microsoft/vscode repo - already got one fixed today!

A short AGENTS.md file made a measurable difference in a coding agent's work on the TODO Group website. Across 18 runs: 36% fewer tokens, 32% less time, and 26% lower estimated costs. AAIF Ambassador @anajsana95 shares the experiment, method, and limitations. aaif.io/blog/devex-for-your-…

The fastest growing engineering roles right now: 1. FDE 2. Hardware engineer 3. AI engineer 4. Security engineer A sign of the times.
STATE OF THE TECH JOB MARKET IN 2026 Twice a year, I dig into trends in hiring and job openings. This is the fifth report I've done, and the most surprising yet: 1. PMs are winning in the AI era 2. Engineering demand has stalled 3. Design openings are at a record low 4. Every role now requires AI skills 5. Tech jobs are concentrating in the Bay Area 6. Remote roles are at a record low 7. The tech job market is growing fast, but mostly outside of software (gasp!) Full report here: lennysnewsletter.com/p/state…

...and coming soon to the MCP Apps spec itself! Entry points are a great example of a feature that started as a specific host implementation and made its way upstream into the official spec. Write once, run everywhere 🚀

I've written extensively about the bottleneck code reviews have become and when/how you can safely let agents merge PRs based on risk. I just discovered that LaunchDarkly has a way to automate the risk assessment and rollout! Y'all know I love me some automation. Their product, Release Autopilot, determines if your change should be behind a feature flag then progressively rolls it out to your users while monitoring the performance. If your team is wondering how to balance shipping fast with protecting your customers, this is a great way to automatically add safeguards. Here's a blog post with more info on the launch fandf.co/4A0PlcR Congrats to the @LaunchDarkly team on the launch and thanks for partnering on this post.

My keynote from All Things Open is now available. Quick 10 min overview of how we're maintaining the @goose_oss project now that contributors have their agents doing the work youtu.be/IR7RH-M7fts

day 4/ of mcp learnings when I led mcp at @asana , it became a company priority. 1000s of companies have done the same since our January connector launch. product: one build to engage users in every AI client marketing + sales: new user acquisition mcp servers do both well->
So bullish on MCP. Its utility exceeds the "M" part: even AI aside, it'll be a civilization-scale accomplishment to get all our systems communicating through one universal open protocol. A missing piece was how to get arbitrary callbacks across sessions. MCP could read and write, but it couldn't tell you later "this event happened." MCP Events fixes this. We're adding support in our own MCP. Say an agent makes a deployment, and wants to know when it's complete. Instead of polling, it can subscribe to 𝚍𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚘𝚢𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝.𝚜𝚞𝚌𝚌𝚎𝚎𝚍𝚎𝚍. PSA: With Vercel Queues and Workflows, writing the backend machinery for your own MCPs to do this is easy peasy.

MCP is all about openess and working together. If it is a good idea, we adopt it. Looking forward to working together to standardize it as part of MCP apps and giving it a modelcontextprotocol.io key

I am really excited by MCP Events. It is a whole new way of interacting with agents and make them trully proactive, very different from the prompt -> tool call -> response model looking forward to the use cases people come up with

Vercel MCP now publishes events. Agents can subscribe to events like 𝚍𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚘𝚢𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝.𝚜𝚞𝚌𝚌𝚎𝚎𝚍𝚎𝚍 and 𝚍𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚘𝚢𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝.𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚛 and get webhook notifications when they fire. No more polling for changes. Changelog → vercel.com/changelog/vercel-…

A drafter and reviewer went through 800+ rounds of revisions before engineers killed the loop. Drawing on five AGNTCon talks, our new article examines why agents can fail together, even when their individual decisions make sense, and how engineers can manage those conflicts. aaif.io/blog/when-good-agent…

agent memory is one of the key topics for developers to learn in 2026. @AnthropicAI latest piece on building better memory tociches on a lot of things I've been splving for years. This year in particular I went around the states talking to devleopers and startups solving agent memory Here is record of it youtu.be/b3R7Q7xbwVs

This (short) talk from @dexhorthy is worth a watch. I always been fan of the “Twelve factor app” concept. Dex makes a similar one for Ai era: “The twelve factor factories” Plan first. Don’t overplan. Align visually. Let agents test. Enforce code quality. Turn feedback into fixes. Pair alerts with PRs. Experiment. Build feedback loops. Learn from sessions. Share context. Keep reading the code. youtu.be/ix1qQK1IvmA?is=8GNV…
