Daily Reading List – June 13, 2025 (#568)
Just got home after about 18 hours of traveling. Good airplane wifi meant some productive time catching up on two weeks of email, and some of my reading backlog. Enjoy your weekend!
[blog] Agent Patterns with ADK (1 Agent, 5 Ways!) I like this way of taking a goal and crafting a handful of ways you might solve it with different agent patterns.
[blog] Agentic Coding Recommendations. Goodness, so much applicable advice here. While this space is evolving super quickly, I think we’ll keep seeing the role of the IDE itself diminish.
[blog] Say “but yes”, not “yes but.” This made me think. How we say things, and the order in which we say things can matter.
[article] Google Cloud outage brings down a lot of the internet. Haven’t seen a public root cause analysis on this one yet, but the Internet definitely got wobbly yesterday. Mini incident report here.

[blog] Make No Mistake — Software Is a Supply Chain, And It’s Under Attack. Supply chain security got bumped off the front page by AI, but it’s as important as ever.
[blog] A Platform-centric Approach to AI-assisted Code Generation at Intuit. Some useful lessons here from Inuit’s engineering team. Build your platform, don’t just buy a tool.
[article] Our Favorite Management Tips on Dealing with Conflict. I’d bet there are one or two in here that you immediately take to heart.
[blog] How good is your AI? Gen AI evaluation at every stage, explained. Get good at evals, people! Repeatable assessments of models, frameworks, prompts, and agents are critical to sustainable success.
[blog] How we’re supporting better tropical cyclone prediction with AI. Another use of AI that stands to positively impact millions of people. Very inspiring.
[blog] Cloud CISO Perspectives: How Google secures AI Agents. Advice, and then lots of security-related links to peruse.
