Highlights I loved:
• @portainerio: : smart container management that simplifies ops, ship faster with less cognitive load.
@chainguard.dev: solid guardrails & supply-chain security for OSS + enterprise.
• InfrOS: forward-looking approaches to continuous governance, cost optimization...

One day in the afterNOON, you realize LLM prompts can be heavy on cost and tokens.

Meet TOON, a new file format sitting b/w JSON & CSV:

💸 Token-efficient: reduce token counts by 30–60%
🤿 LLM-friendly: built-in guardrails for safer outputs
🍱 Minimal syntax & more

How to detect if we are in an AI bubble, short answer: get closer to the community.

This Saturday, I had the honor of participating as a keynote speaker for the Nexera AI event.

If done right, AI can reward creativity, systems thinking, and empathy as much as technical chops.
