AI Agents Are Poisoning Your Codebase From the Inside

Explore how AI-generated code can silently degrade software quality through weakened tests, rising code churn, and duplication—and how teams can prevent it with better governance.

Open Source’s Critical Inflection Point and the 14,000,605-to-1 Survival Strategy

Open source isn’t dying and growing up. Why trust collapsed, forks emerged, AI changed the game, and what it will take to build a survivable open source future.

2026 CRM AI: From Seats to Service (Why Undo Beats IQ)

In 2026, CRM AI won’t be won by smarter models—but by Undo. This essay explores why enterprise adoption shifts from IQ to liability, how “Service as a Software” replaces SaaS, and why seatbelt layers decide who actually ships AI in production.

I Stopped Being a Human Copy-Paste Script

I Stopped Being a Human Copy-Paste Script

I used to manually delete node_modules at 2 AM and pray I didn’t leak secrets to LLMs. Then I built an open-source “Inspector” that treats context like production code — secrets blocked, payloads cleaned, hallucinations gone. Here’s exactly how I did it (and how you can too).

Everyone’s Racing in the AI Era — Speed as Fever, Craft as Cure

In the AI era, speed is a fever and craft is the cure. A true story of wielding the 'fire-axe' of speed, a costly crash, and the 'stitches' (rituals & a 7-day plan) I used to mend the raft.

Black Mirror: Plaything — Could a QR Code Really Hack the World?

Black Mirror imagines a QR-code apocalypse. As a Flame Glyph developer, I unpack what’s plausible today — local device disruption — and what remains fiction.

Why I Don’t Want to Be an AI Plumber (Like Super Mario)

I quit AI automation after a week. Not out of laziness, but to ask a bigger question: Is AI just a tool for efficiency, or a partner in creation?

I Built 2 Failed SaaS Products. Here’s What They Taught Me About Value in the Age of AI

After two failed SaaS products, I learned coding isn’t the real work. In the age of AI, developers must define value—customer, business, world, team, and self.
