The Token-Burn Trap: Silicon Valley's AI Metric Is a Competitive Liability Token spend is not a productivity metric. It's an effort metric. And effort is not outcome.
What To Do With Your Extra Tokens Surplus AI coding tokens are wasted capacity. Use them for targeted code reviews, UI audits, product analysis, and marketing - with copy-paste prompts for each.

Code Is Cheap Now, And That Changes Everything | Pere Villega AI coding agents have made code production nearly free. Drawing on insights from Kent Beck, Paul Ford, and Simon Willison, this post argues that the value has shifted from writing code to defining systems — contracts, invariants, SLAs, and verification.

We're all so busy arguing about whether AI will replace programmers, kill creative jobs, or consolidate power into fewer and fewer companies. I think there might be a ...
Clean code in the age of coding agents Keeping code clean helps both humans and agents. Coding agents are limited by context, and poorly organized code means they consume more tokens and perform worse. Here are some practical steps to keep your code clean for both humans and agents.
The Patterns That Agents Miss We built a synthetic clinical dataset with known ground-truth patterns and fed it to 18 automated data analysis tools. Most of them confidently reported incorrect results.
