Hey there! Welcome to a new edition of Hybrid Hacker! 🌟
Every week I share the top articles I have found and personally read on the internet. I only share the stuff I believe it’s worth your time.
100% signal, 0% slop.
I mainly read things from my public daily digest, which curates an ever growing list of sources. Here is this week’s best stuff 👇
🌀 How to Run Good Agents in Production 🚦
9 min • by Luca Rossi
This week I went deeper into what it takes to run agents reliably in production: observability, governance, boundaries, human gates, and more!
🥇 If We Do Not Stop to Help Each Other, What Do We Become?
3 min • by Jeff Atwood
Jeff shares a great message from a developer who once got through a dangerous deployment because strangers on Stack Overflow chose to help him. An LLM could have provided the same (or a better?!) answer, but not the feeling that somebody cared. We need that reminder!
🥈 Dishwasher Mode for AI Tasks
1 min • by Clemens Adolphs
A dishwasher is slower than washing plates by hand, but we don’t care, because it still frees up our time. Clemens uses the same frame for AI: give it small, annoying tasks off the critical path, then care more about reliable completion than raw speed. I liked this a lot.
🥉 The Sensible Defaults Playbook
2 min • by Thoughtworks
Thoughtworks shares its collection of good defaults. Their approach is to have defaults remove recurring friction, but without becoming dogma. Start with practices that usually work, adapt them to the context, and review them as the environment changes.
And that’s it for today! If you find this list useful, please share it with your friends!
You can also read the very same things I read every day via this free daily digest 📬
See you next week!
Sincerely 👋
