Multi-agentic Software Development is a Distributed Systems Problem (AGI can't save you from it)
Recently, I've been thinking a lot about scaffolding and languages for managing systems of LLMs coordinating with each other — new programming languages might be the ideal solution for this area.
The Hard Problems Nobody Has Solved - Log - nibzard
Four unsolved problems blocking the agentic future: correctness, architecture drift, context scaling, and judgment.

Two Years of Valkey
Two years ago last month, a group of former contributors to the Redis project announced their intention to collaborate instead on a competitive fork. Triggered by the decision to shift Redis away from the permissive open source BSD license to source available …
The Life of a Claude Code Query
Production agentic systems are systems engineering artifacts. Classical OS patterns, including cache hierarchies, demand paging, process forking, and syscall interposition, re-emerge in AI agent design.
Ignore soft skills at your peril
Concentrating on your strengths makes you easy to manipulate.

My now immaculate knowledge graph of life
Turning meeting transcripts into an Obsidian knowledge graph. Using Granola, a small Rust CLI, and a Claude skill, I extracted people and concepts from ~600 meetings and let the graph build itself. The result: a surprisingly dense map of relationships, ideas, …

Claude Is Not Your Architect. Stop Letting It Pretend.
Somewhere between 'ask Claude for a quick opinion' and 'Claude is writing our Jira tickets,' we lost the plot. AI agents are brilliant implementers. They're also confidently wrong about every decision that matters. And when it all falls over, they won't be the…
