Your Mac Mini Has a Roommate Now — and It Needs More Than 16 GB

For most of computing history, a personal computer had one user. You opened apps, closed them, and the machine waited. That assumption is quietly breaking down. Agents now run alongside…

The Harness Matters More Than the Model

There was a moment when deploying better AI meant waiting for the next model release. More parameters, better benchmarks, shinier outputs — that was the frame. What the field has…

When One Agent Is Not Enough: The Case for Multi-Agent Architectures

For most of the past two years, the default mental model for AI agents looked like this: one agent, one task, one context window. That worked fine for short, well-scoped…

What It Takes to Know If Your AI Agent Actually Works

For a while, the standard way to check whether an AI agent was working was to run it a few times, watch the outputs, and decide it looked reasonable. That…

When Uptime Metrics Miss the Point: Evaluating AI Agents in High-Stakes Contexts

For most of software engineering history, "is it working?" had a reasonably clean answer: the service is up, requests succeed, latency is within budget. That answer breaks down for AI…

Give Your Agent a Way to Prove It Is Done

For a long time, the standard wisdom about AI-assisted development was: write better prompts. Sharpen the instructions, give more context, iterate on the wording. That advice was fine when agents…

Tell Agents What, Not How

From Instructions to Intentions For a while, the standard move when building an AI workflow was to write out every step. Get this URL. Parse that JSON. If the field…

The Right Way to Cut LLM Costs Without Breaking Production Quality

Over time, production prompts tend to put on weight. A paragraph for the edge case that came up last month. A worked example to stop the model from over-formatting. A…

The AI Dark Factory Dream — Why It Fails and What Actually Works

The premise felt irresistible: give an AI agent a high-level feature spec, walk away, and come back to working software in production. No pull requests to review, no standups, no…

Past the Threshold: What Enterprise AI Teams Are Actually Solving Now

The conversation about AI in enterprise has shifted, quietly but clearly, from "will it work?" to "how do we operate this at scale?" That shift is visible in the kinds…
