AI is finding bugs faster than humans can fix them. From the PHP2Shell RCEs to 400 complexity issues in my own code, here is how to survive with agentic SDLC.
My Level 5 software factory ships code unattended, until it hits CI limits, 50-node plans, or reward-hacking loops. Three lessons from recent failures.
Everyone is talking about AI in extremes. We said the exact same things about server virtualization and Kubernetes. Generative AI is a tool. Let's learn how to use it.
Agentic development is two different jobs, judgement and mechanics, and we keep running them through one chat window. A series on designing the contract between humans and agents, with a month of data from my own software factory.
