AI’s Design Constraints You Can’t Abstract Away
Subscribe • Previous Issues The End of Limitless Compute: AI’s Physical Reality For developers, compute has long been an abstraction—a limitless resource summoned with an API call. That illusion is now shattering against hard physical realities. The voracious appetite of AI means the success of your next application may depend less on the elegance of your algorithmContinue reading “AI’s Design Constraints You Can’t Abstract Away”
The Two-Sided Coin of AI-Assisted Coding
SoftBank’s recent declaration that the era of human programmers is ending caught my attention, especially the audacious estimate that one thousand AI agents would be needed to replicate the capabilities of a single human developer. As readers of this newsletter and listeners of my podcast will attest, I was an early adopter of AI‑assisted coding—andContinue reading “The Two-Sided Coin of AI-Assisted Coding”

New Report: The Architectural Patterns of Financial AI
At Bankwell Bank, a new employee named Sarah works around the clock. She responds to loan applicants via email and SMS in under three minutes, gathers missing documents, and hands a perfectly structured file to her human colleagues. She has re-activated roughly half of the bank’s otherwise lost applicants and saved loan officers 90% ofContinue reading “New Report: The Architectural Patterns of Financial AI”

The Next Generation of AI Agents: Large Action Models Explained
As AI agents become commonplace in enterprise workflows, teams are discovering the limitations of building task-specific automated systems from scratch. Large Action Models (LAMs) represent the foundational layer that transforms how we build agents—providing the general-purpose perception, planning, and execution capabilities that individual agents can leverage rather than reinvent. Instead of building isolated automation tools,Continue reading “The Next Generation of AI Agents: Large Action Models Explained”

Compound Interest: AI’s Invisible Impact on Productivity and Jobs
I’ve learned to tune out the “Are we there yet?” chorus that follows every AI model release. While Twitter debates rage about AGI timelines, something more interesting is happening in the trenches: current foundation models are quietly revolutionizing how knowledge work gets done. My own workflow tells the story. Eighteen months ago, I wrote codeContinue reading “Compound Interest: AI’s Invisible Impact on Productivity and Jobs”
