Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
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 & CraftAndrej 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 & CraftJohn 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 & Craftjqwik 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 & TechnologyMLflow 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 & TechnologyLong-running AI agents need durable channels: workflow IDs, event logs, resumable streams, typed signals, safe cancellation, and user-visible checkpoints.
AI & TechnologyAI agent monitoring should catch decisive errors during a run, not after failure. Runtime intervention turns traces, policies, and alerts into safe pauses.
AI & TechnologyExploration checkpoints let AI agents prove what they discovered before acting, reducing premature exploitation, brittle plans, and generic world models.
AI & TechnologyAgents.txt is not access control. Use robots.txt, llms.txt, bot verification, logs, and server-side policy to manage AI crawlers without false confidence.
AI & TechnologyAI coding agents overwhelm reviewers with giant diffs. Smaller review surfaces keep engineers engaged, verification-focused, and accountable before merge.
AI & TechnologyAI 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 agents should call trained machine-learning models as tools instead of asking an LLM to guess prices, risk scores, forecasts, or classifications.
