May. 08, 2026
The Excitement Around Agentic Workflows I am excited about agentic workflows.

Why AI Coding Tools Are Putting Context-Free Engineering Under Pressure
Apr. 29, 2026
From Coding Productivity to Engineering Anxiety The first reaction to AI coding tools was excitement. Engineers could move faster. Bugs could be fixed sooner. Prototypes could be built in days instead of weeks. The early promise was simple: AI would make software teams more productive. Then the second reaction arrived....
