Weekly Review โ€” June 22-28, 2026

๐ŸŽฌ Also available as a blog walkthrough video โ€” a short narrated tour of the weekโ€™s five posts. TL;DR: Five posts this week, and they rhyme. Each one treats an AI agent as a first-class user of a systeโ€ฆ

Give Every Agent Its Own Computer: AWS Lambda MicroVMs

Getting Paid by Agents: A Managed Paywall at the Edge

MCP Strategies on AWS, Part 4: Governance in Code

TL;DR: The governance pillar of the AWS MCP guidance has the best whiteboard story in the whole document, so I made it runnable. The story: an admin asks an agent to clone a production database, the aโ€ฆ

Weekly Review โ€” June 15-21, 2026

TL;DR: Six posts this week, and most of them do the same thing: take guidance or a principle and turn it into something you can actually run and measure. A three-part MCP series walks the AWS Prescripโ€ฆ

MCP Strategies on AWS, Part 3: Hosting, from Local to AWS

TL;DR: The AWS MCP guidance frames hosting as a ladder: local first, then remote, then a managed gateway. This post walks all three with code. The local rung is a stdio server with no auth, run as a sโ€ฆ

MCP Strategies on AWS, Part 2: Tool Design in Code

TL;DR: The AWS Prescriptive Guidance paper on MCP gives the most useful, checkable rules in its tool-design section, so I wrote code to test them. A token-tax counter on a realistic 20-tool GitHub serโ€ฆ

AI Content Pipeline Deep Dive (5/5): Publishing

TL;DR: Publishing isnโ€™t just โ€œclick deploy.โ€ Itโ€™s image generation guided by performance data, LinkedIn teasers written from analytics insights, one-command deployment that handles auth, build, deployโ€ฆ

Weekly Review โ€” June 8-14, 2026

TL;DR: Six posts this week, all circling one idea: with AI systems, raw model power is rarely the differentiator โ€” the structure, governance, and craft around the model are. A paper (and a Bedrock repโ€ฆ

AI Content Pipeline Deep Dive (4/5): Editing

From a Generic Voice to My Own: Self-Hosting a TTS Model on Amazon SageMaker

TL;DR: Last time, the demo video for my agentic-payments post was narrated by Amazon Polly: a clean, managed, recognizably synthetic voice. This time the same demo is narrated in my own voice, cloned โ€ฆ

Claude Fable 5 on Bedrock: A Hands-On Comparison, and the Data-Retention Switch You Set First

TL;DR: Claude Fable 5 went GA on Amazon Bedrock yesterday (June 9, 2026), so within a day I ran it head-to-head against Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6 (all three EU-resident in Frankfurt) on a document-reconโ€ฆ

AI Content Pipeline Deep Dive (3/5): Collaborative Writing

TL;DR: The agent never writes the first draft. It studies your voice from previous posts, assists during drafting, and systematically reviews what you wrote. The result reads like you, not like ChatGPโ€ฆ

Why Your Cheapest Model Should Write the Harness

TL;DR: A May 2026 paper separates two capabilities that self-improving agents usually conflate: writing harness updates and benefiting from them. Writing is flat across model tiers: a 9B open model prโ€ฆ

Weekly Review โ€” June 1-7, 2026

TL;DR: Six posts went out this week, and three of them kept circling the same idea: reliability in AI agents does not come from better prompts, it comes from structure. Boundaries, constraints, and coโ€ฆ

AI Content Pipeline Deep Dive (2/5): Research

TL;DR: AI agents are confidently wrong about 1 in 10 factual claims. The research phase of a content pipeline isnโ€™t โ€œask the agent whatโ€™s trueโ€ โ€” itโ€™s a system of constraints that physically prevent tโ€ฆ

I Built the Agent That Pays โ€” Here's What I Learned

HTTP 402: The 30-Year Placeholder That AI Agents Finally Activated

TL;DR: HTTP 402 โ€œPayment Requiredโ€ has been reserved since 1997 but never used โ€” because humans canโ€™t approve per-page charges fast enough. AI agents can. The x402 protocol (Coinbase, 2025) revives 40โ€ฆ
