The AI Stack
The tools, models, infrastructure, and workflows reshaping software delivery.
← All writingThe Mainframe Era of AI Is Ending
AI is centralized today because the hardware demands it. That will not stay true forever.
Anthropic Will Be the First Major AI Company to Fail
Anthropic leads the business AI coding market. I predict that its lack of control over compute will also make it the first frontier-model provider to fall.
The Harness Wars Have Started. We've Seen This Before.
Claude has already won. Copilot is dead in the water. Cursor is Elon's fantasy play. Every one of those takes is pontification dressed in the robes of an oracle.
How to Set Agentic Coding Standards Across Multiple Teams
One dev uses Claude, another uses Copilot, a third uses Cursor. They're all generating code in your codebase. Without shared standards, you don't have standards.
Your Org Needs an Internal AI Skills Marketplace
AI skills are distributed software with privileged access. Treat them like part of your supply chain, not random files developers install from strangers.
Your AI Instructions File Should Be a Router, Not a Novel
Most teams dump everything into one massive AI instructions file and wonder why their agents ignore half of it. The fix is architecture, not more words.
Give Your AI Agent a Map of Your Codebase (For Free, Locally)
Every AI coding session starts with your agent scanning the codebase to figure out what's going on. A code map eliminates that cold start entirely.
The Three-Agent Playbook for Legacy Code Modernization
Legacy rewrites fail because business rules buried in old code get lost in translation. A three-agent pipeline extracts that knowledge before anything changes.
Your Internal NuGet Packages Are an AI Blind Spot
AI coding tools know every public package cold. Yours? Brand new to them. Here's what happens when the AI guesses, and how to fix it.
All Your (Code)Bases Belong to Us
AI companies are scraping public repos and shipping community innovations as features. If your code enhances an agentic platform, think twice before going public.
