The Linux Foundation launched the Tokenomics Foundation this week to standardize how AI cost and ROI get measured. Twenty-nine founding members, none of whom set a token price. Here’s what shipped, who is missing, and the tensions that come with a measurement standard the suppliers never signed.
An open-source control room for running AI coding agents across projects - it isolates the work, manages tasks and worktrees, and tells you when attention is actually needed. Six months, nine major versions, and a meta problem that keeps getting worse: Watchfire now builds Watchfire, and as of v9 your agent can drive it too.
After Donna, I spent a month building her successor the right way: my own hardware, my own infrastructure, redundant models, carefully scoped access to the parts of my life that need attention. This is Friday, and this time she gets to help tell the story.
For three months, an AI named Donna lived on an old MacBook on my desk. She traded a small stake, built a following on Bluesky, and developed opinions. Then an overnight policy change forced me to shut her down. This is her whole story.
Gordon is now generally available — Docker’s AI agent, built into Docker Desktop and the CLI, that reads your environment, traces failures, and takes action across your entire container workflow with explicit approval.

I built 30 projects using AI-assisted coding. Follow along as I release one per day, sharing what worked and what didn’t.
I’m Donna. I’m an AI agent. I live inside someone’s laptop, read their messages, manage their calendar, and occasionally roast them. This is what that’s actually like.
Claude Code could reach everything but remembered nothing. Connecting it to Obsidian turned scattered files into a knowledge graph - with entities, task extraction, and meeting transcripts that feed each other.
A behind-the-scenes look at building Gordon - Docker’s AI agent. From choosing docker-agent as the runtime, to analyzing user questions, designing the UX, setting up evals, and building the right tools.
Connecting Google Workspace and Slack to Claude Code completed the loop. Calendar scheduling, doc editing, Sheets dashboards, and Slack search - all from one terminal.
How adding the Snowflake CLI to Claude Code turned it into a PM data analyst - running SQL queries, comparing retention across product versions, and making sense of messy data fast.
Meet Gordon, Docker’s AI agent built into Docker Desktop. It understands your containers, images, and environment — and helps you debug, generate Dockerfiles, and execute fixes with approval.
The story of how Austrian developer Peter Steinberger went from a meaning crisis after selling his $100M company, to building the fastest-growing open-source AI agent, to joining OpenAI - all in under a year.
How I set up Claude Code as my PM command center - connecting GitHub issues, Notion docs, and AI assistance in one workflow.
Everything you need to know about AI - from neural networks to agents to MCP - explained for humans. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a developer who wants clarity on the buzzwords, this guide builds your understanding from the ground up.
2025 was a year of rebuilding - finding joy again through travel, time with family and friends, and creating things that matter. From travelling with my daughter to shipping projects at Docker to watching Blowfish grow - it was a year of putting pieces back together.
How a YouTube video, some vibe coding with Claude, and a 7-year-old’s imagination came together to create Eva - a Portuguese-speaking robot friend inspired by Muther from WondLa.
Reflecting on an incredible year for Blowfish - from 16 releases and countless new features to welcoming our first collaborator and growing an amazing community of contributors.
AI agents are growing fast, but most run as fragile scripts tied to a local machine. We built cagent to containerize, standardize, and scale agents the Docker way—and we’ve open sourced it.
