AI engineering means designing the context, runtime, and harness around agents so they run reliably, observably, and at scale. In my Redis webinar on May 28, I’ll focus on harness engineering: caching, session management, and rate limiting. RSVP: redis.io/resources/vi...

Harness engineering is the buzzword of 2026. But the ideas behind it are decades old. Turns out that building scalable agents still requires the same systems engineering skills software engineers have relied on for years to build scalable and sustainable systems. redis.io/resources/vi...

OpenAI dropped a tool to verify if an image has been AI generated. And LinkedIn is already using it to tag images that were AI made. The technology is grounded in two mechanisms. One that relies on metadata. Another that relies on imperceptible pixels. Read more: openai.com/index/advanc...

1/9 If a service commits something to a database and then publishes a message to Kafka, what happens if the database commit succeeds but the Kafka publish fails? This problem has nothing to do with AI. But the mindset behind solving it matters a lot for AI agents.

An agent deleted his prod db with one API call Backups were tied to same volume Least privilege. Environment isolation. Secret management. Backup isolation. Audit logs. Recovery testing. None of this is new The agent didnt invent a new failure mode. It compressed an old one into nine seconds

Harness engineering is just ML folks hitting production for the first time, seeing their systems fail because they never had to think about security, scalability, reliability, maintainability, or system design as a whole, and then reinventing software engineering with a new name.

I’m seeing a lot of posts claiming n8n is dead. I’ve never used it and I wonder if it’s a tool that has value when building enterprise scalable agents? Or did it serve a small niche that was agglutinated by something else?

For future reference: When using Gemini models, we're required to explicitly enable structure outputs in the ChatClient. I was also using Spring AI Vertex AI integration instead of Google GenAI. Thanks @tzolov.bsky.social and @ddobrin.bsky.social!

Raphael De Lio @raphaeldelio.dev · 26/01/2026

This was something I discovered while trying to build a reliable multi agent with Spring AI fully within GCP. With OpenAI it works flawlessly. With Gemini, constant structured output issues... Has anyone else seen this? #java #javabubble

Am I the only finding Gemini to be less consistent to adhere to structured output than OpenAI?

I don't even know anymore if LLMs are dropping the quality of anything produced by humans in every field (not only software development) or if everything has always been as mediocre as it is today. We're shipping faster and in more quantity, sure, but clearly at the expense of quality.
