2. Supply chains detect fast, act slow: How AI agents fix it

Supply chain disruption cost businesses about $184 billion in 2025, according to the J.S. Held Global Risk Report, and most of that bill still buys faster detection, not faster action.

13. Stop Prompt-Engineering Copilot. Write Three Rules in a File Instead.

Most advice about getting better output from Copilot is advice about phrasing. Be specific. Give it context. Ask it to think step by step. That plateaus quickly, and it plateaus for a structural reason: better phrasing asks the model to try harder. It does not tell the model anything it did not already know. The thing that actually moves output is a file. .github/copilot-instructions.md, committed to the repository, read on every request. The location, precisely .github/copilot-instructions.md I...

14. Fixed Is Not Repaired

Two Posts With Holes In Them For two and a half weeks, two posts on this blog referenced diagrams that did not load. Not a rendering quirk — a 404. Each post pointed at its diagram by bare filename, something ending in -diagram.svg, with no domain and no leading slash in front of it. That is a relative path. Ghost renders the markdown card verbatim, so the browser resolved that filename against the post's own URL and asked for a file that has never existed at that address. The SVG lived in my co...
