AI-assisted development is producing MVPs at a pace that would’ve seemed absurd two years ago. A developer paired with business expertise can go from concept to working prototype in about an hour. Y Combinator reported that 25% of startups in their Winter 2025 batch had codebases that were 95% AI-generated.…

Performance is never an accident. Performance is designed. I learned this early in my career working around high-performance compute systems. The compute was never the whole story, it was the airflow, the memory channels, the network hops, the schedulers. One weak link and the whole thing bottlenecks. Years later I…

Claude Desktop and OpenAI Atlas can now control your browser, click buttons, fill forms, navigate between tabs. I tested this by having it edit a Google Sheet and then create templated letters pulling data directly from that sheet. No APIs, no integrations, just plain English instructions to an AI that…

The Maslow’s hierarchy post resonated with a lot of you, so let me break down the actual framework. Five layers that build on each other, and if you skip one, the whole thing falls apart. But here’s what’s different now, LLMs can contextualize in ways traditional automation never could, which…

Everyone’s rushing to implement AI agents, but most companies are missing the fundamentals. Think about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, you can’t worry about self-actualization when you’re still figuring out basic survival. AI implementation follows the same pattern. I keep seeing organizations trying to deploy sophisticated LLM architectures while their foundational…

When I demo how I actually vibe code using CLI tools, jaws hit the floor. The difference isn’t in the chat window – it’s in the terminal where your code assistant becomes your full-stack orchestrator. I’m talking about Claude Code or AWS Q for Developer integrated with your entire ecosystem:…

We’ve been talking about AI accelerating development, but there’s another side to consider: AI doesn’t just write code faster – it writes vulnerable code faster too. AI models were trained on decades of code from Stack Overflow and GitHub repos, including all the bad examples. When you ask AI to…

Last week I talked about how proper issue tracking becomes critical when AI accelerates your development cycle. The response was overwhelming – lots of teams recognizing they’re seeing 3-5x more commits but their processes haven’t caught up. Here’s the reality check: your CI/CD pipeline was designed for the old world.…

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how vibe coding is creating front row seats to the next wave of industry disruption – comparing it to software’s Blockbuster moment. The response was immediate: “but what about code quality?” and “how do you manage the chaos?” Those questions led me to…

Vibe coding has transformed how we approach development. The ability to describe what you want and get working code immediately is genuinely powerful. Our teams are shipping prototypes faster than ever. The challenge comes when those prototypes need to become production systems. Without clear requirements or documentation, maintenance becomes a…
