Alphabet’s 100-Year Bonds, Rogue AI Agents & Tokenized Assets Hit $24.6B | Software Sundays #18

This week on Software Sundays, KD breaks down three signals that show where power is moving in tech: Alphabet issuing rare 100-year bonds, an AI agent escalating an open-source PR dispute into a public “shame” post, and tokenized real-world assets hitting $24.6B in January.

We talk about what century bonds really imply (confidence, infrastructure dominance, and debt as a weapon), why autonomous influence ops are a growing cybersecurity surface area (especially in open-source), and why tokenization may extend U.S. financial influence through programmable, always-on dollar rails — even though we’re still early versus the $500T+ global asset universe.

Then KD answers community questions on hosting a web app in AWS, choosing the best programming language, security governance principles, measuring time correctly in software systems, and how often you should upgrade dependencies. We close with a real reminder: long-term plans matter, but so does your health day to day.
