Most teams scaling in the cloud pay for more than their workload needs. ☁️ 🚇 Principal Technologist, @Dev_TheAnalyst, on why Atlas Infinite, with independent storage and compute scaling, deserves your attention.

I was unfamiliar with the traffic in Atlanta. Dont take ubers to and from the airport in Atlanta if you can help it! Lesson learned and banked!

Ever wonder what its like to onboard into a senior outbound facing IC role at a fast paced tech company? I chronicle my first 100 days at @MongoDB in this week's post: devindickerson.dev/posts/my-…

My First 100 Days at MongoDB

Gotta Go Fast The first few months in a new role usually get measured in meetings, introductions, and the slow work of finding your rhythm. In this role, it’s best measured in boarding passes: eleven...

Pro tip, go to AI Studio and look at the lower left corner and check to see if you have credits. I had $400 bucks in credits unclaimed.

Last week @MongoDB hosted an event at The Battery in SF with friends from @AnthropicAI and @salesforce. The topic: AI Agents in the enterprise. Key takeaway: Automation can only scale with trust. You can delegate anything in this world except for accountability.

Has anyone figured out a prompt to push back on Gemini 3.5 flash's desire to be more concise? My use case is to clean some text without truncating it.

Temporarily giving up on loop based spec-driven engineering with local models. It works with a frontier grade model as orchestrator but the compute is very expensive and not beneficial (better off just using the frontier at that point). Swapping to me being the orchestrator.

I tried to have claude code orchestrate my local models via ssh. I used 66 percent of my work provided anthropic credits in 12 hours. New plan: trying @goose_oss next.

My first attempts to integrate local models into my coding workflow has gone terribly. Reminds me a bit of the very early adopter days of coding with GPT. Hallucinations, overwriting files, and unhinged rabbit holes. Surely this is my fault

Getting much better output now. No model swap...agent skills and better prompting.

Claude Code told me it couldnt be done. I fact checked with a Gemini Deep Research run. Turns out there are pathways to solve my problem. I cant consolidate my AI subscriptions because I still find so much discrete utility from different models...

This was in my MongoDB onboarding reading. Re-read it this weekend and it still holds up. @sogrady called the developer experience gap in 2020. It moved down the stack, and agents are the ones fighting the duct tape now. redmonk.com/sogrady/2020/10/…

The Developer Experience Gap

When the iPhone was first introduced in January of 2007, it took the world by storm. The first device to compress – successfully, at least – a mobile phone, a computer with internet access and the 21...

Not that I measure success in lines of code, but my loop created 12000 lines of code across 13 enhancements to my tabletop rpg app today, tested it, captured screenshots, pushed to feature branch (I approved the pushes)...all while I hung with my family. Dope.

Loop engineering has made a believer out of me. Automating giant feature blocks and staying in the loop on evals.

I've done a lot of building with Gemini CLI and now antigravity. The dev ex with MongoDB MCP and agent skills is quite slick I must say.

Using the @GeminiCLI to build with MongoDB? Install the official extension to get the best experience. The MongoDB Gemini Extension comes with two crucial features: ✔️ The MCP server that lets your agents interact directly with your MongoDB database ✔️ Built-in agent skills for data modeling, query optimization, MongoDB Search, Vector Search, and more This means agents that actually understand your data layer, so you can build right from your CLI, without the context-switching.
