Vibe code is legacy code

"Vibe coding"—Karpathy's label for cranking out AI-assisted code at warp speed—lets devs skip the deep dive. It works for quick hacks and throwaway prototypes. But ship that stuff to prod? Cue thetechnical debt... read more

Computational Thinking Is The New Programming

Software's entering its blurred-lines era. The new hybrid model fuses old-school code with natural language prompts and AI-generated logic. Frameworks likeDSPylet devs stitch together pipelines where logic flows through code, prompts, and outside data—like it's all one system. What’s changing:Progr.. read more

MCP Security Issues Threatening AI Infrastructure

Docker just dropped theMCP ToolkitandMCP Gateway, tightening up the Model Context Protocol with serious armor. We're talking six major server-side holes patched—OAuth RCE, command injection, leaked creds—plugged. How? With container-wrapped isolation, real-time network filters, first-class OAuth ha.. read more

4 Ways I am Encouraging My 4 Year Old Child to Help Learn Coding and Use Computer

GCompris, CodeMonkey, Microbit, and Raspberry Pi kits aren’t just toys. They’re a full tech ladder for tiny humans. Start with GCompris to get little fingers clicking. Add CodeMonkey for block logic basics. Then toss in Microbit or an Elecrow kit, and suddenly code makes LEDs blink and buzzers buzz... read more

Forcing LLMs to be evil during training can make them nicer in the long run

Researchers built an automated pipeline to hunt down the neuron patterns behind bad LLM behavior—sycophancy,hallucinations,malice, the usual suspects. Then they trained models to watch for those patterns in real time. Anthropic didn’t just steer modelsaftertraining like most. They baked the correct.. read more

Introducing the Amazon DynamoDB data modeling MCP tool

Amazon just dropped theDynamoDB MCP data modeling tool—a natural language assistant that turns app specs into DynamoDB schemas without the boilerplate. It plugs intoAmazon QandVS Code, tracks access patterns, estimates costs, and throws in real-time design trade-offs... read more  

Introducing the Amazon DynamoDB data modeling MCP tool
Vertex AI is Google Cloud’s end-to-end machine learning and generative AI platform, designed to help teams build, deploy, and operate AI systems reliably at scale. It unifies data preparation, model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring into a single managed environment, reducing operational complexity while supporting advanced AI workloads.

Vertex AI supports both custom models and foundation models, including Google’s Gemini model family. It enables organizations to fine-tune models, run large-scale inference, orchestrate agentic workflows, and integrate AI into production systems with strong security, governance, and observability controls.

The platform includes tools for AutoML, custom training with TensorFlow and PyTorch, managed pipelines, feature stores, vector search, and online and batch prediction. For generative AI use cases, Vertex AI provides APIs for text, image, code, multimodal generation, embeddings, and agent-based systems, including support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.

Built for enterprise environments, Vertex AI integrates deeply with Google Cloud services such as BigQuery, Cloud Storage, IAM, and VPC, enabling secure data access and compliance. It is widely used across industries like finance, healthcare, retail, and science for applications ranging from recommendation systems and forecasting to autonomous research agents and AI-powered products.
