My keynote at LDX3 New York, "The state of the tech industry in 2026," is now available to watch (and read!) online here: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/the-state-...

You can also watch it on YouTube, here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru99...

It's a summary of what I observed change in ~12 months.

If you want to read the speicifc post, here it is: archestra.ai/blog/routing...

Brought to you by WorkOS – fresh from the WorkOS oven: Airlock, the authorization layer for AI agents. It evaluates every request against the agent’s intent and your rules and either allows it, denies it, or routes it to a human for approval. Works w CC, Codex and MCP gateways. workos.com/airlock

Brought to you by:

• turbopuffer –the team are redesigning their storage arch from first principles & they’re documenting it: turbopuffer.com/v3

• Linear – most of us work with agents in a “single-player” setting. Linear’s take is agent work should be teamwork. Check it out linear.app/pragmatic

Very much enjoying this “GPU glossary” mini-book by Modal I got from Can Duruk when stopping by at Modal’s NYC office.

I don’t know if the physical books can be purchased, but the book has an online version, as I learned; with the same contents: modal.com/gpu-glossary

That DHH saying out loud that the age of writing code by hand is over for the industry, and causing such an uproar is a bit interesting, given this was clear enough since ~January for most of us using the models + paying attention.
