October 2026 AI Roundup

What changed in October that might change how we build or work?

Join me for a practical look at the AI developments worth paying attention to. I'll pick a focused selection from the month, explain what happened, and explore what it could mean for the tools and workflows we use.

We'll look at the bigger picture, connect the stories to real work, and leave room for questions and discussion. You don't need to follow every AI announcement to join in.
