Managing through interfaces - The Engineering Manager
You can learn a lot about managing managers by thinking about interfaces from programming languages. We dig deeper into what that means.
The Architect of Constraints: Why Context Engineering Is the Human Skill That Matters
“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes defining the problem and 5 minutes solving it.” — Albert Einstein
17 Reasons NOT To Be A Manager

The rebel alliance
This blog is co-authored with Zoe Weinberg and Matt Hawes at ex/ante, and is a follow-up to our first blog post on the topic, 'You don't own your memory.' We need an open architecture that puts us in control of our memories while making their exploitation technically impossible. But how will this shift happen? In order to discover possible implementations, we must understand how our data informs LLMs. The three predominant context engineering techniques are prompt design, retrieval-augmented ...
