Last week the frontend and mobile dev community sat up when @Shopify announced it was moving its mobile apps off of @reactnative and back to Swift and Kotlin. We at @redmonk were deeply interested, not only because Shopify is enormous... redmonk.com/kholterhoff/2026…

... but also because this story continues a pattern of large-scale architectural changes that used to be dismissed as too risky or too expensive, that are getting done now that agents have changed the cost of writing and maintaining new code.

In this @redmonk post, I discuss the simulator market, challenges in iOS DevX, & reasons agents need simulators. Agentic software development now acts as a forcing factor in markets that touch the SDLC, including mobile app development. redmonk.com/kholterhoff/2026…

I chatted w @adamd, Principal Consultant @everydeveloper, about AX & discoverability on @redmonk's MonkCast. We discuss why LLMs recommend one devtool over another, & what vendors can do to improve AI discoverability, from documentation to devx to content redmonk.com/videos/adam-duva…

SEO still matters even in the AI world. If you use Google Search grounding in @GoogleAIStudio (for example), you can see we pull the top search results for a given query (screenshot). But there are new considerations. @KateHolterhoff looks at GEO and AX: redmonk.com/kholterhoff/2026…

What’s the Difference between Agent Experience (AX) & Generative Engine Optimization (GEO, aka AI SEO, AEO, LLMGEO)? TLDR: GEO gets you mentioned, AX determines what happens next, but there's so much more to say!! redmonk.com/kholterhoff/2026…

At @redmonk we've been speaking a lot about this subject, so it's v much top of mind. I focus on what each term means, a bit about their history, and why both matter today. ALSO, Anne Bertucio de Hollembeak will be pleased to see that I didn't use a geoduck as my header image.

The Artifact is Free, Assurance is the Product redmonk.com/kholterhoff/2026… < vendors can sell assurances of provenance and SLA, and partially on vulnerability protection. But not on behavioral guarantees. Good topic from @KateHolterhoff.

Open source has a problem: you often can't tell whether contributors are people or agents. I spoke with @webchick, Sr. Mgr. of Community & Advocacy @temporalio & lead of applied AI @drupal, about AI's effects on #oss communities. Full episode @redmonk redmonk.com/videos/angie-byr…

Related, from @KateHolterhoff at @redmonk. Identity and provenance are more critical than ever ... redmonk.com/kholterhoff/2026…
"... the number of malicious open source software packages identified increased exponentially, or 1,444% from 2024 to 2025." cloud.google.com/blog/topics… < much more rare outside of OSS. But AI stands to accelerate the risk in open source.

Are Internal Developer Portals actually dead in the age of AI coding agents? In this @RedMonk conversation, Balaji Sivasubramanian (@RedHat) explains why the portal's UI matters less now, while the curated, verified context behind it matters more. Watch here: bit.ly/4fAJ8LV

Attackers are using AI to write phishing emails & fake PRs for pennies. Defenders are drowning in AI-generated bug reports. I'm giving a talk about why it has not been a relaxing year for the JavaScript supply chain. #RenderATL
