AI agents can produce code in minutes, but generating code is only one part of software delivery. The harder question is what happens next: how the change gets the right context, how it is verified, and who decides whether it is safe to ship. Here are three handoffs worth examining before faster code generation simply … Read more

For years, backend engineers have been trained to fear failed requests. 500 Internal Server Error 503 Service Unavailable Timeout Connection reset Those failures are visible. They trigger alerts. Dashboards turn red. Retries begin. Engineers investigate. AI agents introduce a more uncomfortable possibility: What if nothing fails? Imagine an enterprise agent processing a refund. It has … Read more

Every year Apple’s “What’s new in Swift” session drops thirty minutes of language features, and every year the recaps list them in the order they appeared on stage. That order is optimized for a keynote, not for your sprint. This one is sorted differently. The question for every feature is the same: how far is … Read more

I have a joke in my stand-up act: We spent 20 years telling coal miners to learn how to code, and now AI is doing all the coding and needs more electricity, so… back to the mines they go! It’s a joke, but it belies an underlying truth. Coding boot camps became a refuge for … Read more

I hate computer. You hate computer. We all hate computer. More specifically modern subscription-based, or “Free” (definitely not data harvesting) tools made available almost exclusively via the web for a computer (the phone’s are indeed included), but i digress. Whether it be a website, cloud service, social app or horrifically specific tool, particularly the sort … Read more

Fabrice Bellard wrote the code that carries the world’s video, spins up its clouds, and speaks to its cell towers. He does not give interviews. For nearly forty years he has been in conversation with one thing only, a machine, in a quiet room, with no one else invited. This is a portrait of that … Read more

The curious story of Erlang, told from inside the head of the man who built it. A note on form. Joe Armstrong, co-creator of the Erlang programming language, died in April 2019. What follows is a work of narrative nonfiction told in an imagined first-person voice. The events, dates, and figures are drawn from the … Read more

Every week, HackerNoon’s Top Writers ranking highlights the authors whose stories are getting the most attention from our readers. This week, we’re celebrating the writers who made the list, from a first-time author who shot straight to the top to some familiar names with impressive reading time under their belts. Here’s a look at this … Read more

I have spent eighteen years keeping enterprise systems running, and most of the last several of them on a global business intelligence platform that sits under a Fortune 500 company’s reporting, forecasting, and planning. Every line of business touches it. When it is late, people notice within minutes. The platform is not one thing. It … Read more

I recently wrote about a problem with how AI agents get authorized. Handing an agent a copy of an API key gives it a bearer credential, proof that whoever holds it is allowed to knock on the door, but it says nothing about what they’re allowed to do once they’re inside, or how fast you … Read more

In one of my earlier articles this year, I argued that AI became possible because of the data available on the internet and that we shouldn’t stop contributing to it. The more I think about it, the more I believe this is the single most important fact about AI that gets overlooked in conversations about … Read more

At the end of the first part of this series, I made a promise that sounds slightly contradictory. SkySim should run in a browser tab with nothing to install, and it should run real aerodynamics and hand the vehicle to actual flight-controller firmware. Accessible and serious, at the same time. If you try to satisfy … Read more

I built a small support-ticket agent as a weekend project. It read incoming tickets, searched a docs folder, and drafted replies. Nothing fancy — a few hundred lines of code wrapped around an LLM API call. It worked beautifully in the demo. One of my friends in the security research business put in a request … Read more

Researchers who catalogued 141 security flaws in zero-knowledge proof systems between 2018 and 2024 found 99 of them in the circuits, the sets of mathematical constraints that decide whether a proof is accepted. Almost nine in ten of the 141 broke soundness, the guarantee that a prover cannot convince a verifier of something false, according … Read more

How do you measure a partnership in the agentic era, when the one choosing your product isn’t a person anymore, but an AI? I’ve closed more than 75 partnerships per edition of Blockchain Jungle and run the pipeline at other startups I’ve worked for, so I know what you’re supposed to count to prove one … Read more

At work I have been playing with Jev by TypeSafe AI a lot, and the reason it got popular is pretty straightforward: it opened up a class of possibilities where you get an intelligent, LLM-like model that doesn’t take forever, so you can use it as a quick classifier for actions — typed choices, scores, or yes/no probabilities that … Read more

By Chris Gale The conversation around artificial intelligence has been dominated by a familiar image, a boardroom, a new AI initiative and a round of layoffs. Month after month brings another headline about workforce reductions at a large technology company or consultancy. The conclusion is usually presented as self-evident. AI is here, people are being … Read more

Just imagine, for a moment, a world without dollars, euros, pesos, yuan, or any other currency from the mountain of national currencies worldwide. Instead of all of them, we’d have one and only option, which we can call “Gold Coins” here. It’d be present everywhere: every bill, every salary, every purchase, every country. This single … Read more

I build drone autonomy software for a living. Vision-only navigation, perception, control, the kind of work where you spend most of your day not flying a real aircraft, because crashing a real aircraft into a wall to test a bad line of code is expensive and slow. Simulation is where the actual work happens. And … Read more

When a production system at a large bank breaks in the middle of the night, the engineer who gets paged usually spends the first hour doing detective work across dashboards, logs, Slack threads and recent code changes. At a median cost of $2 million an hour for a high-impact outage, that hour of searching is … Read more

How a delisted course on Udemy forced a fundamental rethink of digital ownership, developer leverage, and open-source persistence. Platform Autonomy or Don`t Make Them Money I used to believe that publishing educational content on major commercial platforms was the fastest, most effective way to build an audience and generate sustainable side revenue. The narrative was … Read more

The Battle for the Human Soul in the AI Era Artificial intelligence has escaped the tech bubble. A few years ago, it was pleasant to be amongst the APIs and my engineer brethren, arguing about model capabilities, experimenting with absurd context windows, and wondering what would happen if we just kept scaling the whole thing. … Read more

What Fei-Fei Li actually shipped. To understand why Atlas matters, you have to get one thing straight. Most of the AI we’ve known is fundamentally “look at a picture, describe it” or “look at a picture, make a new one.” It gets better at looking realistic, but it stays flat. Atlas is different. It’s the … Read more

It was 3:00 AM on a Tuesday, and I was staring at three terminal windows while my coffee slowly turned cold. Earlier that night, our team had updated dozens of network switches. Now came the part nobody enjoys: running the same health checks on every device, copying the output, and comparing it with the state … Read more

This follows an earlier piece I wrote on how AI agents slip past existing controls[i]. That article asked whether your network and resources can even tell an agent apart from a human or a service, and what controls they need against an agent’s non-deterministic actions. Nearly every question I got back landed on two things: … Read more

Privacy programs have to keep up with constant updates: new vendors, new uses of personal data, AI tools accessing personal data, and expansion into new jurisdictions with distinct privacy regulations. Still, the records tracking those changes often still live in spreadsheets, folders, and shared inboxes. For most programs, the challenge is keeping the records accurate … Read more

New here? I’m building Vesprit in public for Shipaton, a study app that predicts what you’re about to forget and brings it back before it’s gone. I wrote a full intro to it here. This post is one bug from that build: the week my waitlist quietly broke, and why “my domain is authenticated” turned … Read more
