Review Before You Push: The Review the Agent Can't Do for You

You already know you should review agent code — I've written three posts on why. This is the how: what to read first, the failure signatures that look correct, and the tests you can actually trust.

Rules for the Blast Radius: Security and Dependency Guardrails an Agent Can't Quietly Route Around

A rule in a markdown file is a request. The agent honors it right up until 'temporarily' hardcoding the token becomes the path of least resistance. Requests need enforcement behind them.

Delegating to Sub-Agents: When a Second Agent Pays for Itself — and When It Just Burns Tokens

Sub-agents are the most oversold feature in agentic coding. They're also, used precisely, the best answer to the two hardest problems in agent work: context pollution and self-grading.

Prompting Is Context Engineering: What to Feed the Agent, and What to Withhold

Most prompt advice is decoration. The words you choose matter far less than what the model can see when it reads them — and the fastest way to improve output is usually to delete something.

Plan Before You Prompt: Why the First Ten Minutes Decide the Next Two Hours

You typed one line. The agent wrote four hundred. Forty minutes later you're untangling code you never asked for. The failure didn't happen while it was generating — it happened before you pressed enter.

You Are the Man in the Middle: How We Quietly Handed Over the Conversation

We keep asking whether the robots will ever govern us. They already do — we just call it copy-paste. A field note on how humans became the man in the middle of their own conversations.

The Last Human Who Could Read the Code: Where Agentic Development Is Actually Heading

Developers stopped Googling errors, then stopped reading the code, then stopped reviewing the PRs. Follow that line to its end—and the honest case for whether it's even a problem.

Building the Harness: The Files That Turn a Coding Agent Into an Expert

Part one argued you should fix the harness, not the model. This is the harness—the actual rules file, skills, and memory you can drop into your agent today.

Fix the Harness, Not the Model: Turning a Sycophantic Coding Agent Into an Expert

Your coding agent caves the moment you push back. That's not a dumb model—it's a people-pleasing harness. And the harness is the one part you fully control.

From MLOps to AgentOps: The Next Evolution in AI Operations

DevOps took a decade to mature. MLOps took five years. LLMOps took two. Now AgentOps is emerging—and most teams aren't ready for what it demands.
