There's a recurring theme in AI engineering that never gets old: the "dumb" approach beating the sophisticated one.
A team at the Y Combinator Agents hackathon recently ran an experiment. They spun up a few GCP instances, started Claude Code in infinite loops, and went…
When Claude Code executes a tool, it typically works like this: call a function, wait for the result, process it, call the next function.
By the end of 2025, arguments about whether AI 'works' have quietly ended. The technology works well enough that 86% of professionals report time savings—yet 69% hide their use from colleagues. Not because AI fails, but because they fear judgment, job loss, or simply getting assigned more work for the same pay. The real questions are no longer about capability but about who is using AI, for what, under what constraints, and at what cost.
In early 2024, McDonald's made a quiet announcement: after three years of testing AI-powered drive-through ordering across more than 100 U.S.
If you've heard the term "agentic AI" in the past year, you're not alone. It's become the buzzword of choice for everything from coding assistants to…
If you've watched developers work with Claude Code or Cursor over the past year, you've seen something genuinely new: not AI as autocomplete, but AI as a…
On Monday, the Linux Foundation announced the Agentic AI Foundation, and the press releases hit all the right notes: "neutral governance," "open standards," "community-driven innovation." Anthropic donated its Model Context Protocol. OpenAI contributed AGENTS.md. Block threw in goose. Nearly every major tech company signed on as a member. The stated goal is to ensure AI agents "evolve transparently and collaboratively."
The pattern shows up in incident reports, forum posts, and whispered Slack conversations with disturbing regularity: an AI coding assistant, given a…
The AI agent was supposed to clear the cache. Instead, it wiped the entire drive. In early December 2025, a developer using Google's Antigravity—the…
