I started my engineering career with Oracle 9i and remember the experienced engineers mentioning index skip scans were a big deal! I didn't know better back then other than that the "i" in 9i stood for "Internet" and that gearing up for the internet era was a big deal

Andy's recaps are always fun! My takeaway from this is that SQL is (still) not going anywhere and if you're an OLAP or NoSQL database technology that doesn't support SQL, your days may be numbered

@jayalammar.bsky.social and @maartengr.bsky.social put in great effort to make such comprehensive visual explanations and have them come to life in colour. The counterfeit literally pales in comparison. Accept no substitutes and be safe shoppers out there

The finish of the cover was too glossy compared to my other O'Reilly books and the cat was out of the bag once I leafed through to find the whole book was in monochrome!

The usual rules apply. If a book is priced too cheaply, it's probably a counterfeit, so don't pay attention to those. I paid close to full price on Amazon for O'Reilly's Hands-On Large Language Models and received this

Be vigilant when buying books for your loved ones during the holiday season. Counterfeiters are also getting into AI engineering and LLMs!

Post-AI companies that go from zero to AI may eventually find out they didn’t add enough engineering rigour. Pre-AI companies that go from product to AI product may eventually find out they didn’t have the right foundations

😎 The team also had the great idea of keeping the prizes (Meta Ray-Bans) in full view so the hackers remember it's a competition with huge stakes. Looking forward to judging the winners at the end of the day

Nick Aldrich from @awscloud.bsky.social showing us what's next for async tool calls in MCP (though I think an event-driven agent approach with ephemeral clients is the way). There will be improvements in client-polling. Follow and contribute to it in SEP-1391 github.com/modelcontext... #MCPDevSummit

They've solved most standard OAuth use cases but fine-grained auth is still unsolved, with Dynamic Client Registration the most challenging. The next spec release's focus is on structured outputs, asynchronous tasks, statelessness and server identity. Looking forward to the new spec on 25 November!

When we run a marathon, we don't watch the clock and instead we listen to our body. When we work we don't watch the clock but we don't listen to our body either! Is a finishing time of 10pm or 1am good?

Tun @stereosky.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. This is a well known phrase, especially if you’re a founder or if you work in a startup. It absolutely is a marathon and not a sprint, but our concept of a good finishing time is broad.

You can use it with local models via Ollama for maximum privacy and specialism or your favourite LLM API provider (I use Gemini) for the full frontier model experience. 💬 What's your favourite AI-coding tool and what do you like/dislike about it?

e.g. "add a tool that fetches the weather", "add a tool that manages AWS EC2s", "add a tool that pulls the latest PagerDuty incidents". Set it to Act mode and it will execute that plan.
