I’m in Sunnyvale at Google Cloud HQ today and tomorrow. On the flight up, I finally got my generative UI service working properly in Gemini Enterprise. There are few things more satisfying that having an idea and then seeing it come to life with software.

[article] Google brings Antigravity under Gemini Enterprise to provide granular spend controls. This is the next frontier. How do we make AI work better within teams, not just for individuals?

[article] Can “Predictable Delivery” be measured? Interesting question. Two teams could have wildly different output per sprint, but have the same throughput over time.

[blog] Now introducing Gemini Enterprise for Financial Services. Smart offering, and you’ll see more things like this. Industry-specific AI is still in the early stages. See our legal offering as well.

[blog] The Mundanity of Excellence. Love it. Mundane tasks done over and over again don’t have to “boring” if you attach meaning and purpose.

[blog] Cloud CISO Perspectives: Sticking to security fundamentals in the AI era. CISO’s are more valuable than ever, if focused in the right places. This gives some perspective, along with many links for deeper learning.

[blog] Human judgment doesn’t leave the software factory. It relocates. Long post, but very worthwhile read from Addy. If you keep hearing this “software factory” phrase but aren’t sure what it means or when you’d use it, read on.

[blog] Architects, testers, and coders: Building multi-agent development teams. Andrew uses an agent team to port a popular Python library to a statically-typed Dart package. He experienced friction, iterated, and ended up learning some things. Good experiment!

[article] The AI-Native SDLC playbook. Fascinating writeup from Anthropic where they explore the SLDC stages with AI-lens. Same “work” but done very differently.

[blog] Deploy your App Engine apps to Cloud Run in a single command. When people find a stack they like, it’s hard to get them to switch! 15+ years after launching it, we still have a hearty customer base. This post shows the one-line command to switch over to the more modern Cloud Run.

[article] Not every problem needs an AI agent. Blasphemy, I know. Valid points here, but I also wonder if the box the author puts AI into will quickly dissolve.

EVE Online: The Move to Python 3 Begins!

EVE Online has been one of the most interesting case studies in Python at scale for over twenty years now.

They've been running on Stackless Python since their launch in 2003, and their last major upgrade was 16 years ago, to Stackless Python 2.7 in 2010.

They've upgrade to Python 3 will start using the futurize script against 2.4 million lines of code, followed by careful manual review of the ~20,000 places where Python 2 and 3 behavior differ - for example 1 / 2 is 0 in Python 2 but is 0.5 in Python 3.

There's nothing in this announcement about how they plan to replace Stackless, but at their conference last year they presented Scheduling in Carbon: Leaving Stackless Python Behind describing how they replaced Stackless in the Carbon engine for their more recent game EVE Frontier, using their (now open source) carbonengine/scheduler library.
