Stop Trusting the Security Scorecard: Why AI Code Needs Teeth, Not Numbers

I merged a feature last month that Claude had written. It handled user authentication state. The code looked clean, followed patterns I recognized, passed all the tests. Three days later, a security consultant I'd hired for a compliance audit found a partial bypass in the session...

Stop Trusting the Hallucination: Why I'm Rethinking RAG for Sensitive Data

I spent three hours last week debugging why a financial document chatbot we built was confidently citing paragraphs that didn't exist. The client caught it. Their compliance officer was not amused. That's when I realized we'd shipped a system that was worse than useless, it was *c...

Stop Shipping Skills on Vibes, You Need Actual Metrics

Last month, I spent three days building what I thought was a killer Claude skill for handling API documentation generation. It looked good. The outputs *felt* right. I shipped it to production feeling genuinely confident. Two weeks later, I noticed it was making things worse in e...

Stop Trusting Single-Point AI Code Reviews: Why Conflict Between Reviewers Actually Matters

I spent three weeks last year debugging why our security scanning pipeline kept approving code that our senior engineer immediately flagged as dangerous. We were using a single AI code review tool, one of the popular ones, and it was confidently wrong about half the time. The worst...

AI Didn't Kill the Junior Developer, Taste Did

Last month, I was reviewing applications for a mid-level backend position at my company, and I noticed something that made me pause. Three candidates had nearly identical CVs: competent portfolios, solid technical chops, but nothing that suggested they'd ever questioned a decisio...

Stop Sending Your Code to OpenAI: Why Local AI Agents Just Became Actually Viable

Last month, I was sitting in a client meeting when their security officer asked a question that made me uncomfortable: "Where exactly does our source code go when you use ChatGPT for debugging?" I didn't have a great answer. Sure, I could mumble something about API agreements and...

The AI Scam Problem That Should Terrify Every Developer, Because We Built It

I got a WhatsApp message last month from someone claiming to be my cousin. "Bhai, urgently need 50k. Accident happened." I knew it was fake because I'd literally just texted him five minutes earlier. But for three seconds, genuinely three seconds, my stomach dropped. That's all the...

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...

The $725 Billion Bet That Keeps Me Up At Night (And Why I'm Not Convinced Anyone Has a Plan B)

I was in a client meeting last month when someone casually mentioned we should "leverage AI" to cut our infrastructure costs. I nodded along, but internally I was thinking: have you *seen* what running these models actually costs? We'd be trading one capex nightmare for another....

The AI Hiring Gap Nobody's Talking About (And Why Indonesian Devs Should Care)

Last month, I was reviewing CVs for a contract role at a startup in Karachi. I noticed something odd: every single global applicant had "AI" or "LLM" plastered somewhere on their resume. The local candidates, equally skilled, if not more, barely mentioned it. I didn't think much of...
