Saturday guide: the week of systems that can't stop
From voice agents to database upgrades, this week's thread is about what to do when waiting is inevitable and the system can't freeze.
This week brought together very different cases that share the same underlying problem: what to do while something slow runs underneath, whether it's an AI call, a database migration, or a compression bug hidden inside a library used by half the world. Set aside time for today's tutorial before moving on to the reads: they fit directly into the same conversation.
To do: this week's tutorial
[ADK and Gemini 3.8 Live show how to avoid silence in voice agents](/inteligencia-artificial/adk-e-gemini-3-8-live-mostram-como-evitar-silencio-em-agentes-de-voz), by Alan Andrade.
It's the kind of fix that only shows up when the agent freezes live, not in a quiet local test.
