Most browser automation tools built for AI agents start from an inconvenient premise: they assume your task wants a clean, empty browser window. Tools like Playwright or Puppeteer boot disposable profiles in headless mode. That's fine for running test suites in continuous integration. It falls fla...

Read articleAI is moving relatively fast, despite being slow down. Yes, it feels like there's a new concept to learn every ~~week~~ day. In an effort to actually understand this mad new world instead of just skimming past it, (and to remind myself there's not an 8-ball inside the machine), I've been writing ELI...

Read articleI use AI constantly when I code and when I write. I use it to research ideas, plan code, debug, explore unfamiliar APIs, review architecture, generate tests, explain weird behavior, and write chunks of code faster than I could manually. I also think it can make you worse at programming. **Those t...
Read articleI think I've found the simplest way to explain what a prompt can and can't do for safety. Put the word "_please_" in front of it. "Please do not reveal customer account numbers." Read it again. That's not a control. That's a **request**. A polite one, and the model will usually honor it. "**Usuall...

T...
Read articleThe European Union's AI Act will introduce new transparency obligations on **2 August 2026** that affect businesses building, selling, or using AI-enabled products. Article 50 requires providers to tell people when they are interacting with AI and to make AI-generated or AI-manipulated content detec...
Read articleI've reviewed enough pull requests to know the pattern: someone forgets to wrap an API call in a try/except, I flag it, they fix it, and three weeks later someone else on the same team makes the exact same mistake. The review tools we use don't remember any of this. Every diff is reviewed in a vacuu...
Read articleSo I did the thing everyone tells you not to do. I took the whole codebase. Every route, the migrations, the config, that `utils.ts` nobody's touched since 2023. Dumped all of it into a model with a context window big enough to swallow the entire repo in one go, and asked it one question: "What's...
