2 min readThe headlines chase ever-larger frontier models, but the more interesting move in 2026 is downward — small, capable models running on the device in your hand.
2 min readADK 2.0’s graph-based workflows and dynamic loops unlock something traditional automation can’t do — an AI agent that monitors a flash sale in real time and adapts promotions on the fly.
6 min readAI-driven development isn’t about replacing engineers — it’s about rethinking how software systems are designed, built, and evolved. Here’s what that looks like in practice, using an ecommerce platform as the blueprint.
9 min readAI is no longer just answering questions — it’s taking actions. Here’s what the rise of agentic systems means for how we build and work.

2 min readA Technology Polymath who has spent 20 years telling clients to embrace AI finally turns the mirror on himself. What followed was a zero-server, near-zero-cost blog built almost entirely with Claude — and only mildly embarrassing.
2 min readMost AI feature experiments share the same fate: impressive demo, uncomfortable production metrics, quiet retirement. Here’s the design thinking that changes the outcome.
2 min readEvery cloud migration case study ends with success. None of them tell you about the Thursday at 2am when the database connection pool hit zero during a live flash sale.
