Live from Snowflake Summit, Ryan talks with Snowflake’s Head of Developer Experience Umesh Unnikrishnan about the industry-wide shift from “vibe coding” for quick prototypes to agentic engineering for enterprise-ready software, how enterprises can scale governance with guardrails like human-in-the-loop approval and control layers that go beyond the underlying LLM, and why Umesh predicts all developers will become someday become full-stack builders.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌​‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‍​‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​‍‍‌‍​‌‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌‌‍‌​​​‌‍‌‍​‍​‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌​‍‌​‍​​​​​‍​‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌​​​​‌‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​​​‍​‌​​‌​‍‌‌‍​​‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‍​‌​‍​‌‍‌​​​​‍​​​‌​​‌‌‍‌​​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌​​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌​‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‍​‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​‍‍‌‍​‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌​‌‌‍‌​​​‌‍‌‍​‍​‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌​‍‌​‍​​​​​‍​‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌​​​​‌‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​​​‍​‌​​‌​‍‌‌‍​​‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‍​‌​‍​‌‍‌​​​​‍​​​‌​​‌‌‍‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​‌​​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍‌‌

The Case of the Sign-In Window That Refused to Show Up

1 Share
Every platform migration eventually presents its toll booth. I have been doing more of my day-to-day Azure work from a Mac lately, which meant getting PowerShell, the Az modules, Git, and VS Code all cooperating on the same machine. Most of it was surprisingly uneventful. PowerShell runs perfectly well on macOS, the Azure modules install normally, and VS Code gives me roughly the same scripting experience I am used to everywhere else. Then I ran the single most routine command in Azure...

W3C Invites Implementations of EPUB 3.4, EPUB Reading Systems 3.4 and EPUB Accessibility 1.2

1 Share

The Publishing Maintenance Working Group invites implementations of the following three Candidate Recommendation Snapshots:

  • EPUB 3.4: EPUB® 3 defines a distribution and interchange format for digital publications and documents. The EPUB format provides a means of representing, packaging, and encoding structured and semantically enhanced web content — including HTML, CSS, SVG, and other resources — for distribution in a single-file container. This specification defines the authoring requirements for EPUB publications and represents the fourth major revision of the standard.
  • EPUB Reading Systems 3.4: This specification defines the conformance requirements for EPUB 3 reading systems — the user agents that render EPUB publications.
  • EPUB Accessibility 1.2: This specification specifies content conformance requirements for verifying the accessibility of EPUB® Publications. It also specifies accessibility metadata requirements for the discoverability of EPUB publications.

Comments are welcome via GitHub issues by 19 October 2026.
