as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better. security leaders, never let a crisis go to waste: please go to your boards and ask for help right now. not for ai, for the basics. (we need to hold on for ~18 months.)
The vulnerability tsunami is coming in just a few months and there won’t be enough time to patch critical infrastructure. Network isolation described below (air-gaps and data diodes!) needed now!

Let's go! We're out of stealth with @TolmoHQ! AI is completely redefining how software gets built. And how it's being attacked. Helping define what security means for this new world was impossible to resist. We had to go back! We’re building the AI agent fleet to secure production environments. Our security agents continuously work on a live production knowledge graph that connects data from code, cloud services, containers, databases, and third-party providers. Imagine high fidelity pictures of what you’re building, with a tracked history of changes at scale! Our team spent years on the offensive side, breaking into cloud services, kernels, or cryptographic implementations, as well as building observability and security solutions for thousands of customers in production at Datadog. Over the last few months, we’ve raised $22M, led by Accel and Y Combinator, assembled a stellar team in San Francisco and have been iterating with our first 45 design partners. It’s go time! Joining me today to announce Tolmo: my cofounders @JbAviat, @poledesfetes, and @arnaud_breton, alongside @msuiche and our early team @wbeuil, @jimmycaputo, @cryptonitemmk, @theraniarnia, and @TylerHaydenSF. We're psyched to embark on this new journey together! We're building Tolmo in the open, and we're looking for feedback. Would love to hear your thoughts about what we're building! tolmo.com/blog/introducing-t…

Cursor Composer 2.5 looks competitive. Cost per task is interesting metric not captured by benchmarks

I got demo'd by an AI Sales platform startup today. Asking for $25k with no trial on the first call is a bold GTM move. Their pitch: "We have so much demand we can't offer POCs... annual commitment only." That's the FOMO close. It only works when your product can carry the weight and they gave no evidence of that. The testimonials on the website are most likely investors, friends of founders - you know they roll deep - or free beta users.

If your SaaS product isn't in the agent toolkit, you don't exist. Agent-augmented work is happening in 2026. The skill databases are where discovery happens.

Agent skills are just context injection. But they're also how you become indispensable in the workforce and to the AI agents building with your tool.

Quick catch up if this is new: Agent Skills were popularized by Anthropic. They were introduced as a feature to make Claude more capable with better context in Oct 2025. They help agents do things. They became an open standard in Dec 2025 and the standard is adopted by OpenAI and others. The standard is here: agentskills.io/home

Your documentation is already 80% of a skill. You're probably leaving traffic on the table by not structuring it for agents. Agents don't context-switch to ChatGPT. They use what's in their harness toolkit (Skills!).

Agent skills are how you get discovered in an agent-driven world. Well-documented, opinionated skills = locked-in users

The future of writing infrastrucure code isn’t for specialists who write HCL. It’s for generalists who use programming languages. #openTF #pulumi
