Your Dev Environment Is Not a Vault I have watched AI engineers obsess over model security, prompt injection defenses, and output filtering while their local machines sit wide open. The LiteLLM supply chain attack from March 2026 is the clearest possible illustration of where the real risk actually lives, and most of the people I…
Amazon’s Wake-Up Call Is Everyone’s Wake-Up Call I’ve been watching AI-assisted engineering mistakes compound in slow motion for about two years now. Smaller companies, smaller blast radii, easier to sweep under the rug. But when Amazon, one of the most sophisticated engineering organizations on the planet, has to call a mandatory company-wide meeting about AI…
The Blast Radius Problem Nobody Wants to Talk About Amazon is holding mandatory meetings. The internal briefing describes a trend of production incidents caused by “Gen-AI assisted changes” with what it calls “high blast radius.” And buried in that same briefing is a phrase that should make every engineering leader sit up straight: “best practices…
The Blast Radius Problem Nobody Wants to Talk About Amazon is holding mandatory internal meetings about AI-generated code causing production incidents. The briefing note, surfaced publicly this week, describes a pattern of incidents with “high blast radius” caused by “Gen-AI assisted changes” and includes this sentence: “best practices and safeguards are not yet established.” That…
