Several posts ago, I wrote about setting up a multi-agent adversarial code review process as part of my development pipeline. The premise came from a podcast: if one frontier model is writing the code, you want a different lineage model doing the review. I'd already been running an informal version of this: just Claude Code reviewing Claude Code with an adversarial prompt. It had shockingly good luck catching real problems. Good enough that I stopped trusting the vibe and decided to go get actua...
The most expensive thing you can do with an AI agent is watch it. Not audit it. Not review its output. Watch it -- step by step, approval by approval, second-guessing every action before it takes the next one. And yet that is precisely how most engineering teams are deploying AI agents in 2026: on a leash so short the agent cannot take three steps without a human tapping it on the shoulder. I understand why. The models hallucinate. The stakes are real. Nobody wants to be the engineering manager ...
Two nights before a chemistry final, I pasted my notes into an AI quiz generator to test myself. One question asked about a reaction I never studied. I got it wrong, looked it up afterward, and it wasn't in my notes at all. The tool had just made it up. I went looking for a better one and hit the same wall three more times with three different tools. Paste your notes, get a quiz, and somewhere in the output is a question built on a fact your source material never mentioned. Nobody flags it. You ...
A browser test can be green and still be wrong. It can pass because a mock returned an outdated response. It can fail because staging enabled a feature flag that no one documented. It can become flaky after a React upgrade even though the user-facing behavior looks unchanged. And when the same failure appears only in a minified build, the stack trace may be so unhelpful that the team blames the test before investigating the application. These problems look unrelated, but they usually share one r...
Today I accidentally became the maintainer of software that was already almost three decades old: reviving a 1990s Java utility to keep the last PAD submitter alive in 2026. I was looking for a way to submit my AI app RiverScript to old desktop software directories and ended up digging through the long-forgotten world of PAD files. There was one problem. The only batch submission tool I could find was a Java application that first appeared in the late 1990s. The last release was in 2017. It was ...

Of the game industryβs many problems, one of the most depressing is how quickly generative AI has wormed its way into development. According to GDCβs 2025 State of the Game Industry report, more than 50% of surveyed devs work at companies that use AI tools (a figure that has almost certainly increased since then). In some ways, it isnβt surprising that a medium at the intersection of art and technology has embraced this fad born from the latter. That doesnβt make it less disappointing. As a rece...

There are many words that I would never, ever use to describe a drone. Stealthy. Subtle. Whatever the opposite of obnoxious is.
