The Pragmatic EngineerThe 12 months that rewrote the rules of software engineering
AI-generated code is now the norm, IDEs are legacy, and code reviews are broken. Engineering leaders are exiting. The CPU shortage is here.
Theo - t3․ggUltrafast is incredible and unusable. That's the point.
Ultrafast mode on Astra is genuinely impressive — and genuinely too expensive for serious use. The reviewer burned $600 on two PR reviews, but built a full…
James BriggsJev's Calibration Is Real. Its Moat Isn't—GLiNER Is Already Close.
Jev's calibrated probabilities make classification trustworthy, but GLiNER runs faster and cheaper locally. The fast-and-slow combo beats either alone.
AI EngineerCodex's Autonomous Agents Demand New Engineering Governance
Codex long-running agents promise autonomous operations, but without guardrails they risk runaway costs and errors. Engineering leaders need to audit before…
AI EngineerZero-Credential Sandboxes: The Missing Safety Layer for AI Agents
Zero credentials in agent sandboxes? Docker's Jim Clark makes the case with MCP gateways and intent-based containers. Pattern matters more than the tool.
AI EngineerInference Engines: The Scheduler Is the New Bottleneck
Inference engine performance hinges on the scheduler, not kernel swaps. Learn why speculative decoding and KV cache management are the real levers.
Theo - t3․ggAnthropic's AI Performance Sprint: What Engineering Leaders Should Learn
Anthropic made Claude 3x faster in two weeks using Claude itself. The approach? Measure everything, let the AI climb, and ratchet benchmarks. But the…
AI EngineerAI agents are flooding large codebases with code faster than teams can
AI agents are flooding large codebases with code faster than teams can manage. Dan Adler argues the bottleneck is not model quality but cross-repo visibility…
AI EngineerYour catalog is not ready for AI agents. Here is what to
PayPal ran experiments on how AI agents discover products. Enriched catalogs won—but over-enrichment caused hallucinations. Keyword search is dying, and most…
AI EngineerAssemblyAI's Joey: Building vs buying an AI support agent
AssemblyAI replaced a 10% resolution off-the-shelf bot with an in-house AI agent that handles 80% of tickets for $700/month. The engineering lesson is about…
