Why to pin the model version in production and upgrade on purpose.EngineeringCopy-Paste vs a Shared Dependency: When Each WinsNot every repeated piece of code belongs in a shared dependency. Here is how to decide between copy-paste and a shared library so your foundation compounds.AIWhy AI Agents Fail in Production (and How to Fix It)AI agents fail in production for a handful of predictable reasons. Here are the real failure modes and how to design agent reliability from the start.EngineeringWrite the Spec Before the Prompt, Every TimeWhy you should write the spec before the prompt when building with AI. The spec is the cheapest place to be wrong, and it decides everything the model does next.EngineeringHow the AI Build Loop Actually WorksThe AI build loop is not prompt and pray.
