Engineering Philosophy: Grace Hopper, Make the Computer Speak Human
Grace Hopper built the first compiler so programs could be written in human language, made latency physical with a nanosecond wire, and fought stale dogma.
Engineering & CraftWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Engineering 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: 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 & 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: 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 & 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 Safety Starts With Small Software
AI agent safety starts with small software: smaller tools, plain files, narrow permissions, and faster tests give coding agents fewer places to hide bugs.
AI & TechnologyAI Agent Config Security Is Supply Chain Security
AI agent config security belongs in supply-chain review: hooks, editor tasks, install scripts, MCP files, and plugins can execute code before you notice.
AI & TechnologyAI Coding Agents Need Smaller Review Surfaces
AI coding agents overwhelm reviewers with giant diffs. Smaller review surfaces keep engineers engaged, verification-focused, and accountable before merge.
AI & TechnologyAI Agent Skills Need Behavioral Audits, Not Pass Rates
AI agent skills can change behavior while pass rates stay flat. Behavioral audits compare traces, declared capabilities, and side effects before trust.
AI & TechnologyAI Agents Need Exploration Checkpoints
Exploration checkpoints let AI agents prove what they discovered before acting, reducing premature exploitation, brittle plans, and generic world models.
