Stop Building AI Agents Like They're Console Apps

I spent three weeks debugging an AI agent pipeline last month that was supposed to handle code reviews. It had access to everything, entire codebases, chat histories, documentation, deployment logs, previous reviews. By week two, the agent was hallucinating connections between unr...

Stop Pretending Fine-Tuning Models is a "Data Scientist Only" Problem

I spent three weeks last year trying to fine-tune a language model for a client's internal documentation system. Three weeks. What should've been a weekend project turned into me wrestling with conflicting PyTorch versions, CUDA compatibility nightmares, and a LoRA configuration...

The Gap Nobody Talks About: Why Your Network Operations Still Live in Scattered Scripts

I spent three hours last Tuesday debugging why a health check was hitting the wrong subnet. Three hours. It wasn't a production incident, it was worse. It was preventable chaos that nobody had questioned before running the check. Someone had written a script six months ago, it wor...

I Got Hacked Through My Own Workflow (And I Didn't Even Know It)

Last year, I built an automated bug-triage system for a client. It was elegant, pull data from Jira, analyze it with an LLM, write structured reports. Simple pipeline. I was proud of it.

The Default That Almost Broke My API: Why Choosing How to Fail Matters More Than You Think

Three years into building production systems, I almost shipped a bug that would've been worse than any security vulnerability I've actually caught. It wasn't a SQL injection or a weak password hash, it was something quieter and more dangerous: a catch block that said `return tru...

Stop Building MCP Servers Like It's 2019

Two weeks ago, I spent an entire afternoon wrestling with deployment configs for an MCP server I was building for Claude. YAML files, Docker nonsense, manual testing against three different client APIs, the works. By the time I got it running in production, I'd burned through hour...

Why I'm Actually Excited About AI-Native Data Workspaces (And Why I Wasn't Before)

Last month, I spent three hours debugging why an analyst on my team kept getting stale data. Turns out they were running queries in Snowflake, copy-pasting results into a Slack message, and I was reading those Slack messages to build a report. We had a perfectly good data warehou...

Stop Organizing Code for Machines. Organize It for AI.

Last month, I was running Claude on three parallel tasks across one of my projects, a schema migration, an API contract update, and frontend fixes to match it. By hour two, the agent started hallucinating file paths. It wasn't confused because the codebase was too big. It was conf...

I Asked Claude to Pick My Dependencies, and Now I'm Questioning Everything

Last month, I was building a new feature flag system for one of our client projects. Instead of doing what I used to do, spending an afternoon researching options, reading Github issues, checking licensing, I did what felt natural in 2025: I asked Claude for a recommendation. Withi...

Stop Building Web Scrapers Like It's 2005

I spent three hours debugging what I thought was a backend issue last month. The API endpoint returned 200 OK, the JSON parsed cleanly, but the data I needed wasn't there. Turned out the entire payload was a React app waiting for hydration. I was staring at a skeleton loader and...
