The repo of the future has no code in it
A prediction that the near-future repository contains only intent, scenarios, data shapes and a UX sketch. The running application becomes disposable, regenerated on demand, and personal to a single user.
AI Engineering as a Craft Skill: The Organisational Angle
How do teams and organisations build, recognise, and leverage prompt engineering skill at scale? On hiring, pairing, team topology, and the talent pipeline problem when AI is doing the work junior engineers used to learn from.
Prompt Engineering as a Craft Skill
Domain expertise is a force multiplier when working with AI. A look at the Dreyfus skill model applied to prompt engineering, and why what you know about the system you are building matters more than any prompting technique.
Building a Simple Game With a 9-Year-Old Using AI
My daughter and I spent a few hours with GitHub Copilot planning, building, and shipping a real browser game from scratch. Plan it, build it, play it, fix it — the simplest development cycle, and it works.
Boundaries First: How Software Architecture Shapes What AI Agents Can Deliver
Small, contract-bound, independently operable units change what AI agents can reliably deliver. A look at the architectural hypothesis worth testing — and an invitation to try to break it.
Multiple Anchor Points: How to Ground AI Agents and Get Better Code
Give an AI agent one reference point and it produces something generic. Give it three or more — tests, contracts, documentation, standards — and it can triangulate. The geometry of context, and how to use it.
Hello, Deneb: What This Blog Is Here to Do
