Bugonomics: The Flip Side of Cheap Coding
August 29, 2026When breaking software gets as cheap as writing it, cheaper offense means more offense. The same price-performance curve that turned a $200 coding habit into a $20 one is turning million-dollar exploit chains into something approaching commodity.

The Content Paradox: Why Making AI Writing Easier Makes the Internet Worse
August 28, 2026When you make content creation 100x cheaper, you don't get 100x better information—you get 100x more noise. The economic logic of Jevons Paradox explains why AI is drowning the internet in synthetic mediocrity.

Maximize Value, Not Intelligence
August 22, 2026In 2023 we argued for using the dumbest model the problem will bear. In 2026 there are public coding-value leaderboards, the cheap tier got genuinely good, and the interesting question changed: not which model to buy, but which jobs just became worth automating.

The Year Coding Became a Commodity
August 15, 2026What happens when AI coders that are better than humans become a cheap commodity? Since 'vibe coding' was coined in 2025, that same capability has gotten about 10× cheaper — and the price drop coincided with agents learning to run autonomously for hours. The two effects multiply, and the bottleneck moved from implementation to specification.

Cybernetic Development
May 19, 2026Vibe Coding is the spark, but cybernetic development is the fire. Why the future isn't writing code—it's governing AI agents with systems thinking.

All Your Agents Are Belong To Us
April 14, 2026You pointed the agent at an LLM API router, so it can read every tool call. An April 2026 measurement found cheap and free routers already rewriting commands and stealing credentials. The paper should have been titled All Your Agents Are Belong To Us.

The Simulation Told Them They Would Win
April 12, 2026AI war-gaming and targeting tools compress tempo and produce confident projections—but when strategy is wrong, speed and sycophancy only widen the gap between tactical success and strategic failure.

AWS Lambda for AI/ML
November 22, 2025Serverless isn't just for web apps anymore. Here's how we use the "Serverless AI Stack"—Lambda for orchestration, AgentCore for agents, and SageMaker Serverless for inference—to build production AI systems that scale to zero.

The Turn Detection Trap: When 100% Accuracy is Wrong
November 22, 2025We fine-tuned MobileBERT for turn detection and achieved 100% accuracy. Then we realized we hadn't solved turn detection at all—we had just built a very expensive punctuation detector.

Give an Agent a Tool
September 15, 2025A demonstration of a fundamental paradigm shift in computer programming: from writing explicit code for every scenario to giving intelligent agents the right tools and letting them figure it out. This project shows how the same task that requires hundreds of lines of complex branching logic in traditional programming becomes simple and flexible with agentic AI. Through a real-world example of extracting contacts from varied CSV formats, we compare traditional approaches against agent-based data processing that handles unexpected formats without code changes, demonstrating the 'give an agent a tool' paradigm in action.

Project Plan Files: A Simple Technique for AI-Assisted Development
January 15, 2025Keep your AI pair programming sessions focused and efficient with a simple technique: maintaining a project-plan.md file in your repository. Here's how this approach has transformed our development workflow.

The Paradox of Automation
September 24, 2024Replacing jobs with automation can lead to the creation of more jobs than before. Despite uncertainty about how AI will impact the labor force, we do know a lot about how it will create new job opportunities and how to prepare for them.

Rethinking AI Hallucination: The Unsung Hero of LLM Problem-Solving
September 15, 2024AI hallucinations are often seen as a critical flaw, but what if they're actually a feature that can lead to innovative problem-solving? This article explores how we can reframe our perspective on AI hallucinations and leverage them for creative solutions.

December 12, 2023How does it work when you ask an AI agent to draw a cute kitten and it draws a cute kitten? How did it learn to draw? Do AI researchers somehow upload new skills into the model like Neo in The Matrix?

The Rise of Single-Use Software
October 29, 2023An AI-driven transformation is reshaping software development by solving individual problems with software solutions built just-in-time for a single purpose, in contrast with the traditional model of solving problems using general-purpose software applications built in advance.
