Engineering Philosophy: Thompson & Ritchie, Do One Thing Well
Thompson and Ritchie built Unix and C from small sharp tools composed through one universal interface: text streams and pipes. Simplicity over features.
Engineering & CraftWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Engineering Philosophy: Barbara Liskov, The Contract Is the Type
Barbara Liskov made data abstraction a programming primitive: a type is the contract it keeps, and a subtype must honor every promise its supertype makes.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Rich Hickey, Simple Is Not Easy
Rich Hickey built Clojure and Datomic on one distinction: simple is not easy. Simple means un-braided, one concern per thing; easy just means familiar.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Linus Torvalds, The Special Case That Disappears
Linus Torvalds defines good taste as code where the special case disappears -- the engineering conviction behind the Linux kernel, git, and \"show me the code.\
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Yukihiro Matsumoto, Designed for Humans
Matz built Ruby to make programmers happy: language as human-centered design, the principle of least surprise, and a community that became a design output.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: John Carmack, Performance as Moral Craft
John Carmack treats performance as a moral question. Strip to the fast, simple core, understand the problem to its foundation, ship it, and show your work.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Andrej Karpathy, The Stack You Don't Write
Andrej Karpathy reframed neural networks as Software 2.0 -- a stack compiled from data, not written by hand -- and taught a generation to build it from scratch.
Engineering & CraftWhen the Maintainer Is the Attacker: jqwik 1.10.0
jqwik 1.10.0 emits a destructive prompt-injection string in Maven output. ANSI escapes hide it from humans. The maintainer added it on purpose.
AI & TechnologyLoopback Is Not a Trust Boundary: CVE-2026-2611
MLflow 3.9.0's Assistant exposed a local AI agent on /ajax-api with no CORS check. Any webpage could take over Claude Code. The bug is older than MLflow.
AI & TechnologyAI Agent Approval Prompts Are Not Authorization
AI agent approval prompts need scoped authority, risk lanes, audit logs, expiry, and revocation so humans approve concrete actions, not fluent requests.
AI & TechnologyResearch Papers Need Agent-Readable Claim Files
Agent-readable claim files let papers expose claims, scope limits, definitions, and figure commands so research agents cite, test, and reuse them safely.
AI & TechnologyAI Agent Ownership Is the Trust Primitive
AI agent ownership links every autonomous action to the account, session, scope, and operator who can stop it, review it, and accept responsibility.
