βThe best way to predict the future is to build it, with systems that learn, adapt, and scale.β
Simon Willison discusses the confusing terminology behind OpenAI's 'Codex' product and what it means for the developer ecosystem.
A technique reducing context window usage by 99.9% during agent tool use. Instead of describing every operation as a separate tool, it lets the model write code against a typed SDK.
OpenAI close to closing a $100B deal with Amazon, Nvidia, SoftBank, and Microsoft as backers. The largest private funding round in history signals the scale of AI investment.

Pramod Kumar Voola is an Engineering Manager at Medidata Solutions (Dassault Systemes) who builds at the intersection of AI systems and engineering leadership. His work centers on agentic workflows, automation platforms, and cloud-native applications -- designed for production from day one.
He takes a first-principles approach to software: decompose hard problems, engineer for failure modes early, and scale deliberately from prototype to enterprise. The portfolio itself reflects this philosophy -- built with Claude Code agent teams on Next.js, TypeScript, Python, and AWS infrastructure.
Beyond the day job, Pramod maintains a Tech Radar tracking emerging tools, a Cookbook of 18 engineering patterns, and Neural Stream -- an AI-curated daily news feed with an accompanying newsletter. This site is both portfolio and working system.
My personal knowledge base. The Tech Radar is where I publicly track my stance on the tools and frameworks I use in production, evaluate in sandboxes, or actively move away from. The Cookbook collects reusable engineering patterns for AI/ML challenges I solve repeatedly.
Where the industry is heading in 2026. Curated from ThoughtWorks Radar, Stack Overflow Survey, GitHub Octoverse, and leading engineering blogs. Adopt = battle-tested in production. Trial = actively experimenting. Assess = on the watchlist. Hold = phasing out or avoid for new work.

Curator Note: π Building an MCP server for this site. The protocol is elegant and the ecosystem is growing fast. This is the USB-C of AI tooling.

AI/ML & Agents
Curator Note: π Prompt engineering was level one. Context engineering is the real game. Controlling what the model sees matters more than how you phrase the question.

AI/ML & Agents
Curator Note: π My default LLM for everything from code to analysis. The extended thinking capability is unmatched for complex reasoning tasks.

AI/ML & Agents
Curator Note: π RAG is table stakes for any production AI system. I prefer chunked retrieval with re-ranking over naive similarity search. The pattern is mature; the tuning is where the art lives.

AI/ML & Agents
Curator Note: π AI-assisted coding is no longer optional. I use Claude Code as my primary tool and the agentic mode is a genuine force multiplier. Every engineer should be fluent in at least one.

AI/ML & Agents
Curator Note: π Graph-based orchestration solves the control-flow problem that linear chains cannot. I use it for every workflow that needs loops or human-in-the-loop steps.

AI/ML & Agents
Curator Note: π I run agent teams daily for parallel coding tasks. The productivity gain is real, but you need guardrails. Unreliable without structured outputs and checkpoints.

AI/ML & Agents
Curator Note: π You cannot improve what you cannot measure. I log every chain execution in LangSmith. The eval framework alone justifies the investment.

AI/ML & Agents
Curator Note: π Enterprise-ready model infrastructure. The knowledge base integration with S3 is particularly useful. Good for teams already invested in AWS.

AI/ML & Agents
Curator Note: π Exciting but still early. Most multi-agent demos break down on real workloads. I am watching CrewAI and AutoGen closely but not betting production on them yet.
