Don't use AI to ship software faster. Use it to ship better software.
AI is Creating Peak Software, Media is the Best Analogy
Let's learn more about the world's most important manufactured product. Meaningful insight, timely analysis, and an occasional investment idea.
Using AI to write better code more slowly
A lot of people seem convinced that the point of AI coding is to write low-quality code as fast as possible. Spew out barely-passable slop, open massive PRs, and merge them unvetted. Ship it! But t…

At this point, almost every software domain has launched or explored AI features. Despite the wide range of use cases, most of these implementations have been t...

Your Software Is Not Sentient
Software simulacrum is not true consciousness, the stripper at the strip club doesn't actually love you, and nearly all of the biggest problems with "AI" have very ordinary human origins.
After automation: Software will work for you, not on you
Alex Komoroske, CEO and cofounder, Common Tools — AI promises “infinite software”—endless tools tailored to every need—but funneled through today's app stores, that abundance just means more silos, more trapped data, and more to orchestr...
AI Tools Accelerates Coding, but Not Overall Software Delivery, GitLab Research Finds
GitLab's 2026 AI Accountability Report highlights an AI Paradox: although 78% of developers say they code faster, overall software delivery has not accelerated due to downstream testing and review bottlenecks and new challenges for enterprise governance and traceability.
Companies Are Throttling Employees’ AI Use Because It’s Too Expensive
Sources and leaks from Amazon, Adobe, Atlassian, Citi, and more show what is really happening with AI right now: companies are trying to rein in AI use as costs spiral out of control.
AI is removing the middle class of software engineering
AI makes projects with weak engineering culture fail much faster.
AI Code
As AI Coding Agents write more code, it's more important than ever that we're intentional about the code it writes.
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.
Union.ai: Ship fast. Scale big. Orchestrate the future.
The AI development platform to go from experimentation to production faster. Orchestrate, train, and serve AI.
My impression is that AI coding is on a "pick two of three" triangle: scope, ship speed, and correctness. Small tools are (speed + correctness) fast prototypes are (speed + scope) and big projects are (scope + correctness). Every project that tries to be all three degrades to "fast prototype."
