Experimentations with Spring AI. Multi agent architecture with streaming of what the agent is actually doing while running. #javabubble

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...

Session management, caching, & rate limiting

Solves common real-time application workloads; personalization, search, fraud detection, session management, and AI context.

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...

real software is still so much work wtf

yes. just, yes. 🧑‍🍳

We made a fake repo with fake bounties, and the bots are applying fake PRs, so we know who is fake, and we can ban them from the Coolify repo. IQ over 1000

Happy to announce that I'm returning as the host of the Dutch Kotlin User Group in Amsterdam after a year and a half hiatus!

I love when users find bugs in my products. It means the product is actually being used.

Only country in western Europe where internet works reliably: the Netherlands

Bought more shares of Duolingo yesterday. I had previously bought it when learning Dutch a couple years ago and decided to do so again that I’m learning Japanese. Practicing something like one hour a day during a week and I can already read Hiragana. Love this app.

I’m addicted to seeing how much energy I’m consuming/producing in realtime. I spend more time on this app than any social media 😂 @zonneplan.bsky.social

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.

“It’s not the upfront capital that kills you, it’s the operations and maintenance on the backend.” Just read this in the book The Phoenix Project by @realgenekim.bsky.social , Kevin Behr, and George Spafford. Funny how actual it sounds.

Next Monday @iamsoham.bsky.social and I will be delivering two insightful talks at the Utrecht Java User Group. Join us to learn how AI agents can power autonomous DevSecOps pipelines and how memory works in both humans and AI Agents. www.meetup.com/nl-nl/utrech...

Always a pleasure to be back at @springio.net . Especially when talking about building agentic systems with Spring AI! #java @spring-ai.bsky.social

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?

Building agentic system is not about machine learning, just like building enterprise systems is not about low-level programming. @albertheijn.bsky.social has understood that. They're hiring seasoned backend engineers to implement agentic systems: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/44...

Started playing Eternal Darkness with a friend yesterday. A game released in 2002. We get stuck. I tell him to check ChatGPT. He checks YouTube instead. He’s not a technical person, he’s an airline pilot. What do you infer from that?

1/ Amidst so much change and uncertainty in the world, there's something grounding about waking up to a photograph like this. My dad watched men land on the moon in 1969, when he was only 8 years old. He's the reason I care about space exploration.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Yesterday, @bsbodden.bsky.social and I delivered our Designing Multi Agent Systems with Spring AI hands-on lab at JavaOne in San Francisco. More than 35 people showed up and it was the lab with most registrations of the day. 🙏🙌☕️ #java

I made the classic founder mistake this week: I built the vision instead of the product. Follow the thread /1

It's difficult for me to believe that the cost of coding has got nearly to zero. Especially as someone who's been coding with agents consistently for almost one year.

Redis 8 just made KEYS and SCAN faster and safer Operations that used to take 12–14 seconds on large datasets can now complete in just a few milliseconds — making previously discouraged commands viable for in production. Read the full article at: redis.io/blog/faster-...
