The Discipline Nobody Talks About When Building AI Agents There is a specific kind of technical debt that only shows up in agent systems, and it doesn’t announce itself. It accumulates quietly, one reasonable decision at a time, until the day you’re staring at a system diagram that looks like a subway map and realizing…
Andrej Karpathy Just Described a Phase Shift. Most Engineers Aren’t Ready for What Comes Next. If you follow AI at all, you probably saw Andrej Karpathy’s appearance on the No Priors podcast this week with Sarah Guo. If you haven’t listened to it yet, you should. Not because it covers new product announcements or benchmark…
40.9K Stars and a “Junior Engineer With Poor Taste” — What the Superpowers Repo Is Really Telling Us A GitHub repository called Superpowers just crossed 40.9K stars, and I think it’s one of the more honest signals we’ve gotten about where AI coding agents actually stand right now. Not from a benchmark. Not from a…
Nvidia Just Changed the Agent Hardware Equation Most open source model releases are variations on a theme. Bigger parameter count, slightly different training mix, a new benchmark to wave around. Nemotron-3 Super 49B… sorry, 120B is not that. This one actually made me stop and think about what teams building internal AI agents are going…
The Skill That Will Separate Good Agentic Engineers From Great Ones Everyone is debating which model to run, which framework to wrap it in, which IDE plugin to install. Those are real decisions. But after watching a lot of agentic projects stall out, I’m convinced the actual bottleneck is upstream of all of them. It’s…
The Hardest AI Problem Isn’t the Model. It’s Knowing When to Stop. Most teams building agentic AI systems are focused on the wrong problem. They spend weeks on prompt engineering. They benchmark models. They agonize over latency. And then they ship an agent that loops forever, or halts too early, or confidently hands back a…
Claude Code Just Changed What an AI Coding Tool Actually Is Anthropic shipped a feature called /loop for Claude Code this week, and most of the coverage I’ve seen treats it like a quality-of-life improvement. It isn’t. It’s a category shift dressed up as a feature release. Here’s what it does: you schedule a recurring…
One Person. Public Data. A God’s-Eye View of a War. That’s the headline nobody in defense intelligence wants to see circulating on a Monday morning. Bilawal Sidhu posted a video over the weekend that stopped me cold. He built a full 24-hour 4D reconstruction of Operation Epic Fury, the Iran strikes, inside WorldView, using nothing…
One Person. A Laptop. A God’s-Eye View of a War. Last weekend, a developer named Bilawal Sidhu posted something that stopped me mid-scroll. He had rebuilt a full 24-hour, 4D replay of Operation Epic Fury, the Iran strike campaign, inside WorldView. No defense contract. No team of analysts. No proprietary satellite feeds. Just an AI…
Karpathy’s Multi-Agent Research Org: The Parallelism Works, the Science Doesn’t I’ve been waiting for someone credible to actually run this experiment instead of just theorizing about it. Andrej Karpathy did. And the results are more interesting than either the optimists or the skeptics predicted. The Setup Eight agents. Four Claude, four Codex. Each agent gets…
