Did I miss something in my writing?
What if your writing came with a built-in critic? Mine does. An AI finds the seams in my thinking and publishes them right next to the text.

A podcast that creates itself, in a different voice
My notes now become 5-minute podcast episodes overnight, written and voiced by a chain of AI agents. The episodes sometimes contradict my own thinking, which is exactly the point.

Claude knows FFmpeg, but it has no idea where the video is
Testing an AI video editor revealed that Claude writes flawless FFmpeg commands, but made assumptions around file system paths.

The manual is missing – we are writing it
The feeds make it easy to feel left behind when it comes to AI. But history proves the hype is usually louder than reality. Since there is no manual for this era, trying things and sharing even the mundane experiences could be useful. We are writing the manual.

The AI writes the code, but the team decides the direction
I have barely typed a single line of code at work for more than a year. Using LLMs and AI agent has changed a lot. But we still need the collaboration in a great team to make sure we go in the right direction.

You’re not “AI Native”
The defect is the missing relationship between the code and the minds that own it. Absence, negative space. This is the cord to pull: “I can’t vouch for this”, not “this is broken”. The response should be the same though: stop the machine, and swarm. Not async, and not one team member carrying the cost of honesty. Shared understanding is owned by the team, not any one individual, and the team should fix it together.pckt.blog - 2026‑06‑21
The case for real collaboration
Most people have never experienced real collaboration and they’re convinced that what they already know is as good as it gets. It’s not. What most teams call collaboration is actually coordination. You divide the work up, each person goes off and does their piece, and then you review each other’s output. That’s not collaboration.blog.mikebowler.ca - 2026‑06‑21
The Software Factory: Why Your Team Will Never Work the Same Again
The current models and tooling are enough to build software factories. Today. In a software factory, developers stop writing code by hand. AI coding agents implement features and fix bugs while developers design and improve the factory.alexop.dev - 2026‑06‑21
Public Registries Are Not a Free Extension of Your Internal Platform
For years, the software industry treated public package registries like a law of nature. They were simply there. Immutable, invisible, and somehow outside the normal rules of cost, capacity, and responsibility. That was always a fantasy. Now the fantasy comes with a high price tag.sonatype.com - 2026‑06‑21
