How to Build Agent Memory That Doesn't Forget

The Problem Every AI developer hits this wall: your agent works great on day one, then degrades silently. It starts making worse decisions, using fewer tools, hallucinating more confidently. You've built observability, so you see the degradation—but you can't fix what you can't remember. The real issue? Most agent memory architectures are designed for storage, not for continuity. ...

Things Developers Get Wrong About the Backend for Frontend Pattern

Since I published my overview of the Backend for Frontend (BFF) pattern, the questions I've received fall into surprisingly consistent patterns. The same misunderstandings come up again and again, from developers who genuinely want to build secure apps. Most of these misconceptions aren't just academic.

Worse: in a randomized controlled trial from METR on experienced open-source developers, engineers expected AI tools to spe...

PipeChecker: A local CI/CD auditor to catch circular deps, secrets, and unpinned tags before you push 🦀

Hey everyone, I got tired of the "push and pray" method of CI/CD configuration.

How I learn in the age of Ai coding

There is a strange thing that happens when AI starts writing your code for you. You might assume learning slows down. That you become passive. That you are just a prompt monkey, copy-pasting outputs and shipping features without really understanding what is going on under the hood. That has not been my experience at all. At least not anymore. If anything, I am learning differently now, and in so...
