2026

Weekly Review — Aug 31–Sep 6, 2026

TL;DR: Four posts this week, and three of them circle the same uncomfortable idea: a system rarely sees its own blind spot. A content pipeline that approved a claim its own source contradicted, a qua…

Weekly Review — Aug 24–30, 2026

TL;DR: Three posts this week. Two are about the stuff an agent reads; one is about what an agent is measured on. The first is a small Bedrock experiment showing that a “sponsored” block in agent-read…

Weekly Review — Aug 17-23, 2026

TL;DR: Three posts this week, and they rhyme: each one looks past the loud, obvious layer to a quieter one underneath. Amara’s Law says the AGI peak is what we overrate and the boring, already-useful …

Weekly Review — Aug 10–16, 2026

TL;DR: Five posts this week, one habit worth keeping: read past the headline before you decide. A metric is not the goal it stands in for (Goodhart’s Law). A model being big is about trainability, no…

Weekly Review — Aug 3–9, 2026

TL;DR: Three posts this week, one quiet throughline: the disciplined, bounded move keeps beating the maximalist one. Gall’s Law says you compose a complex system from small working bricks instead of …

Weekly Review — July 27-August 2, 2026

TL;DR: Three posts about where the human stays in charge as agents do more of the work. “Laws & Disorder” closes with Tesler’s Law: you can’t delete a system’s complexity, only choose who owns each pi…

Weekly Review — July 20-26, 2026

TL;DR: Three posts about the cost you can’t see until you go looking. “Laws & Disorder” continues with Hyrum’s Law: every observable behavior of your API is a contract someone depends on, and AI agent…

Weekly Review — July 13-19, 2026

TL;DR: Three posts, one quiet theme: the structure you don’t design still gets drawn. “Laws & Disorder” opens with Conway’s Law — your architecture mirrors your org chart, so shape the teams first, an…

Weekly Review — July 6-12, 2026

TL;DR: This week was about taking a big idea off the whiteboard and finding the exact AWS building block that turns it on. Two posts continue the “Whiteboard to Cloud” series: compression as the clean…

Weekly Review — June 29-July 5, 2026

TL;DR: This week was about where knowledge lives, who owns it, and where the real work actually is. Three posts climb the agent-memory ladder: naming the spectrum, then the retrieval mechanism (vector…

Weekly Review — June 22-28, 2026

🎬 Also available as a blog walkthrough video — a short narrated tour of the week’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 syste…

Weekly Review — June 15-21, 2026

🎬 Prefer to watch? This week’s review is also a narrated video walkthrough. 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 …

Weekly Review — June 8-14, 2026

TL;DR: Six posts this week, all circling one idea: across this week’s cases, raw model power was rarely the differentiator — the structure, governance, and craft around the model were. A paper (and a …

Weekly Review — June 1-7, 2026

TL;DR: Six posts went out this week, and three of them kept circling the same idea: in the agents I run, reliability has come less from better prompts than from structure. Boundaries, constraints, and…
