AI EngineerThe AI Cost Crisis: Measure, Right-Size, and Stop the Bleeding
Measure token spend per team before touching model choice. A workshop reveals how to cut inference costs 10x with operational discipline.
AI EngineerYour AI Agent's Harness Matters More Than Its Model
The agent harness—the scaffolding around the LLM—may matter more than the model itself. This workshop demonstrates memory architectures, tool retrieval, and…
Cole MedinThe AI Dark Factory Dream Is Dead—Human Oversight Wins
Full autonomy AI coding fails. A human-in-the-loop software factory with scoped epics and holdout tests is the practical alternative.
IBM TechnologyDecision models and agent teams: the coordination tax is real
Decision models explode as a category; agent team studies reveal a coordination tax that makes more agents rarely worth the cost.
Hussein NasserIf AI writes your tests, you can't debug the failures
Hussein Naser argues AI and ORMs hide what engineers must understand. His Aurora Postgres story shows why fundamentals still decide production outcomes.
No Priors: AI, Machine Learning, Tech, & StartupsSecurity, not intelligence, becomes the new bottleneck
OpenAI's president says security spend should vastly outstrip software spend. The math breakthroughs are real, but the cyber claim needs scrutiny.
NeuralNinePython 3.15's Quiet Fixes: Lazy Imports, Hashable Dict Keys
Python 3.15 lands with lazy imports, sentinel values, and hashable frozen dicts. The release is small, but the startup-time and caching wins are real.
AI EngineerAI Gives Everyone the Same Answer. Novelty Is the Only Moat.
After two years of AI-assisted development, Hari Sudharshan discovered that most software lands in the same median zone. Novelty, not prompt skill, is the…
Latent SpaceThe $43K SaaS replacement that shifts the hard part to maintenance
A public contest replaced a $43K/yr event platform with agent-built clones. Five passed real-user testing. The catch: someone now owns and maintains every line.
AI EngineerStop Panicking About Token Bills. Watch Cost Per Merged PR
Token costs are up 60x, yet cost per merged PR is down 26%. Jellyfish data says leaders are tracking the wrong number.
