The intent pipeline: why most prompt guides miss how people actually use AI

Most prompt guides assume that people interact with AI by carefully authoring prompts. In practice, that is rarely how AI is used. Most…

'AI' Sucks the Joy Out of Programming

I’ve used spicy auto-complete, as well as agents running in my IDE, in my CLI, or on GitHub’s server-side. I’ve been experimenting enough with LLM/AI-driven programming to have an opinion on it. And it kind of sucks.

Meet Foundry: An AI Startup that Builds, Evaluates, and Improves AI Agents

Let the Model Write the Prompt

Notes from a talk I delivered at the 2025 Data + AI Summit, detailing the problem with prompts in your code and how DSPy can make everything better.

The Postman Drop: Introducing the AI Agent Builder

The AI world moves fast, and we’re now entering the era of AI agents. These sophisticated AI systems integrate reasoning and memory, enabling them to autonomously interact with tools, make decisions, execute tasks, and deliver real-time results. AI agents will play an increasingly central role in how organizations operate, which Abhinav Asthana, our co-founder and CEO, discussed in a recent blog post. But systems this powerful are extremely challenging to build—especially without a unified solut...

Stevens: a hackable AI assistant using a single SQLite table and a handful of cron jobs

There’s a lot of hype these days around patterns for building with AI. Agents, memory, RAG, assistants—so many buzzwords! But the reality is, you don’t need fancy techniques or libraries to build useful personal tools with LLMs.

The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription

I find this post by David Wilson very relatable. David lists 16+ projects he's spun up with AI tooling, and concludes: I didn't mean to build most of these things. …

AI Is a Waste of Time

The newest AI tools are accelerating basic research and scaring the general public. But many people are simply using them as toys.

nWave – The AI-augmented Framework for Software Crafters

nWave, an open AI framework that replaces ad‑hoc prompting with repeatable SDLC waves: human intent + agent execution, so teams ship faster, safer, less rework.

I used AI. It worked. I hated it.

I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.
