The Audit Log Page
An audit log has two readers. Most logs are designed for the wrong one. Five theses on product audit logs.
Slop Debt
Tech debt has rules. You cut a corner to ship on time, you write a comment that says TODO fix this, and six months later someone pays it down. It is annoying but it is bounded. A senior engineer can look at a codebase with tech debt and draw a map of where the bodies are buried.
Domain-Driven Design matters more when AI writes your code
The domain model and Ubiquitous Language matter more than ever when an AI agent writes your code.
Cursor Origin review: An engineer’s perspective
A detailed review of Cursor Origin, covering Git hosting, GitHub sync, cloud agents, current limitations, and whether it’s worth switching.
How to Design an Agent Harness: six decisions that turn a model into a worker you can leave alone
Your agent says the job is done and the tests never ran. It's sharp for twenty minutes, then forgets a rule you gave it at the start. You re...
The AI Engineering Skills Map
I am delighted to present The AI Engineering Skills Map. AI allows us to build software very differently today than in 2022, and everyone wi...
TDD inside the agent loop - theater or actual value?
Notes from my Thoughtworks colleagues on AI-assisted software delivery
The harness is all you need (mostly)
A practical GitHub Copilot workflow for prototyping, planning, implementing, and reviewing software - without chasing every new AI tool.By @...
Merge Conflicts Are a Process Problem, Not a Git Problem
Merge conflicts aren't caused by Git. Learn how small pull requests, frequent merges, and better workflows dramatically reduce conflicts.

The zero-cost fallacy: Open source software in the agentic era
Open source software is the foundation of much of our digital infrastructure. However, is AI undermining the incentive structure? What needs to change?
Designing a programmable runtime for agent orchestration
This article introduces Onyx, our VM for programmable agent orchestration. And by extension, a runtime that turns orchestration into softwar...

You don't need ten agents. You need two tracks.
Spend enough time on the internet, and you'll see someone showing off a terminal with ten coding agents running in parallel. The implied pro...
Cursor Origin: agent-first git hosting and GitHub alternative (2026)
Cursor announced Origin on June 17, 2026—a git hosting platform built for AI agents, not just humans. Here's what it means for agentic coding teams and why it may reshape the developer tooling stack.
Loop Driven Development, in practice
In Loop Driven Development I made an argument: when coding agents do the implementation, the engineering that matters moves to the feedback ...
Loop engineering: the 14-step roadmap from prompter to loop designer.
Most developers still prompt their coding agents by hand. They type, they wait, they read the diff, they type again. 9out of 10 builders hav...
