Just another nerd with a podcast: happypathprogramming.com And a book: effectorientedprogramming.com

Just improved agent experience in sbt-reload by adding reloadStatus, reloadPause, and reloadResume tasks. Use your AGENTS<dot>md to tell the AI to pause the reloader when making a sequence of changes.

It's all just there @jamesward.com 😁 This is valid Kotlin in 2.4.0 😍 On top of that Kotlin has so many other awesome features to combine this with, and you can write all the code examples from your book effect oriented programming in very elegant ways. You should really give this a proper spin.

Super excited to announce the Spring AI Amazon Bedrock AgentCore 1.0 release! This release makes it super easy to deploy Java / Kotlin Spring AI agents on AWS. You can also use AgentCore Memory, Code Interpreter, and Browser either with your agents on AgentCore Runtime or running wherever you want.

What most devs get wrong about MCP is thinking that it is primarily for AI code assistants. MCP is primarily useful as an enterprise integration protocol.

There has been a huge gap between the world of AI and enterprises' needs. In episode #112 of Happy Path Programming, @bruceeckel.bsky.social and I chat with Rod Johnson about his Embabel Agent Framework and how it helps improve reliability, cost, and other 'ilities when building agents.
