There is a peculiar modern habit that most of us participate in without thinking about it. We tap a screen, place an order, and begin measuring time in minutes. A packet of biscuits, a bottle of medicine, a charger, even an iPhone appears at the doorstep so quickly that the machinery behind the experience becomes invisible. Convenience has become so ordinary that we rarely ask what it takes to man...
AI-assisted notes from my liked-tweets feed, organized around agent workflows, browser traces, model loops, and guardrails.Practical takeawaysStart with the workflow, not the agent. A useful agent task has a source of truth, a narrow action, a verifier, and a stop condition. “Review this repo” is vague. “Find auth bugs in these routes, cite file lines, run the relevant tests, and stop after the fi...
There’s a very specific kind of silence that happens during an outage.Not the peaceful kind.The heavy kind.Pipelines jammed. Builds failing. Deployments blocked. Every engineer slowly realizing that nothing new was shipping until someone figured this out.The root cause sounded almost stupid for the scale of damage it caused.It all started way before and I was at my desk.Near my desk, both the SRE ...
There’s a quiet frustration most of us don’t admit out loud — the kind that shows up when you ask AI something simple, and the response comes back… almost right, but not quite. You tweak a word, try again, maybe blame the tool a little. And then one day, you stumble upon a book that gently flips the mirror toward you.That’s exactly what happened to me while reading Prompt Engineering Simplified: R...
If air travel is miraculous, traveling at close to airline speeds on the ground is utterly discombobulating. Achieving take off speeds but sticking very reliably and steadily to terra firma while the landscape, concrete and otherwise, just runs past you into irrelevance. Witchcraft.
The beauty and achievement of commercial aviation is lost on us. As if its just a walk in the park to put 300 people in a tube in some luxury, with some luggage and chuck it reliably through the air at 500 kph through no oxygen and no heat and yet arrive safely at your destination. A towering achievement of human ingenuity and desperation.
There’s a peculiar moment we’re all living through right now — where the future isn’t arriving slowly… it’s quietly sitting beside us, finishing our sentences.That was the feeling that stayed with me while reading this book.Not excitement. Not fear. Something more unsettling — recognition.Because what this book does, very effectively, is remove the illusion that AI is “coming.” It shows you, almos...
