  Microsoft's extends the capabilities of the AI coding agents through Agent Skills for .NET framework-oriented tasks. But first of all, what are Agent Skills? Agent Skills are a lightweight, open, and standardized format used to extend AI agents' capabilities with specialized knowledge and workflows https://www.i-programmer.info/news/89-net/18867-the-net-agent-skills.html

  ggsql is a novel data visualization tool that integrates the Grammar of Graphics directly into SQL environments. Built by the creators of ggplot2, this system allows users to construct complex charts by adding declarative clauses like VISUALISE, DRAW, and SCALE to standard database queries. Unlike traditional tools that offer fixed chart types, ggsql employs a modular approach where independent components—such as layers, coordinates, and aesthetics can be combined to create custom visuals. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/18862-ggsql-sql-for-visualization-.html

  Companies like PlanetScale and Oracle are providing curated libraries of Skills that allow AI coding assistants, such as Claude Code or Cursor, to interact directly with databases. Skills, Skills, Skills...the latest buzzword in this era of AI induced coding practices. This time they come for the Database to enable agents to perform complex tasks like automated schema optimization, security audits and CSV data ingestion with higher precision and lower token consumption. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18846-agentic-skills-for-the-database-.html

  This article explains concurrency in Python including topics like multithreading, multiprocessing, race conditions, and synchronization mechanisms such as locks. We’ll then take a deep dive into switching off GIL to enable  real  multithreading in Python, highlighting the differences, the benefits and the gotchas with clear code examples. https://blog.geekuni.com/2026/04/python-concurrency.html
