When the machine writes most of the code, review stops being optional and becomes the load-bearing wall. What to scrutinize harder, what to stop sweating, and why your name is still on the merge.

Three things you can do with code you already have, and most engineers pick the wrong one by temperament. A field guide, plus how AI moves the line.

Anthropic and OpenAI are heading for the public markets on very different balance sheets. The labs might be a bubble. The technology isn't. Here's how to build either way.

Claude now writes more than 80% of Anthropic's own code, and the company just asked the whole industry for a way to hit the brakes. The oldest word for that brake is Sabbath.

The "just buy SaaS" default was calibrated for 2018, when custom meant six-figure quotes and nine-month timelines. AI-augmented development changed the math. Most companies haven't redone it.

Ten days ago the last post here mapped where the labs were planting flags. This week, two of them played opposite moves. Google used I/O to publish an open agent stack, model, IDE, runtime, standard, consumer agent. Anthropic bought the SDK toolchain everyone else used and shut it down. Open vs. moat, in the same week.

Two weeks ago Google Next told everyone this was the agentic era. Then the rest of the industry stopped agreeing in the abstract and started picking specific verticals to own. Anthropic claimed finance. OpenAI counter-launched in security. Microsoft and Notion grabbed the control plane from opposite ends. Here's the new map.

Google made 260 announcements in Las Vegas last week. Most of them are noise. Here's the analyst filter: the four things that actually matter for developers, and an honest look at the product confusion Google still hasn't solved.

Someone built an AI therapist for AI agents. The science behind it is real. The philosophy gets wild. And the marketing strategy is genuinely brilliant. A Christian technologist's take on Delx.ai, AI consciousness claims, and the 2026 frontier of agentic marketing.

After 35 years of writing software, I've had passionate arguments about all of these topics. I was wrong about most of them. Here are the hills I stopped dying on, and what finally cured me.

Anthropic's next-gen AI model leaked through a misconfigured data cache. The headlines are terrifying. The irony is worse. Here's what actually happened, why the "safety-first" AI company just took a credibility hit, and whether any of this should keep you up at night.

Anthropic shipped more in the first quarter of 2026 than most companies ship in a year. As someone who builds with Claude Code every day, here's what actually changed in my workflow, and what it means for yours.

Amazon's AI coding assistant caused a six-hour outage and millions in lost orders. A new study found 14% of workers are experiencing 'AI brain fry.' The side effects of AI adoption are here, and they're not what anyone expected.

Three tech giants launched competing AI assistants in the same month, all targeting your daily workflow. Here's what Claude Cowork, Microsoft Copilot Cowork, and Google Gemini actually do, and how to think about choosing.

Over 200 internal documents (emails, texts, diary entries, and deposition transcripts) are now public. They tell a very different story than the one OpenAI has been selling.

Every month you postpone modernizing your systems, the bill grows, in ways that don't show up on a balance sheet. Here's what the delay is really costing your business.

Google launched Gemini 3, OpenAI shipped real-time coding at 1,000 tokens per second, and Perplexity started pitting AI models against each other. Here's what actually matters.

Anthropic just released Claude Opus 4.6 with agent teams, 1M context windows, and dramatically improved coding capabilities. Here's what matters for developers.
