The Evolution I’m from the times when, as an Automation Test Engineer, I was looked at with a red eye by manual testers — for automating everything and unintentionally giving them an impression of “automation is going to take away all the jobs of manual testers”. However, I was getting praised by rest all of […]
The dangerous version of vibe coding A lot of people are learning the wrong lesson from vibe coding. They see someone build an app in a weekend with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Lovable, or Windsurf, and they assume the hard part of software is gone. It is not gone. It moved. Before AI coding tools, […]
You have just finished running a customer satisfaction survey. Five hundred responses sit in your dataframe, beautifully cleaned and ready to go. You compute the average rating, build a few histograms, and present the results to your stakeholders. Someone in the back row raises their hand and asks the one question that makes your stomach […]
Starbucks deployed AI inventory management across 11,000 stores. Nine months later they told employees to go back to counting by hand. The system couldn’t reliably count bottles of milk. The pattern nobody is saying out loud This would be a funny one-off story if it were just Starbucks. It’s not just Starbucks. Right now across […]
LLMs as Maps of Meaning There is something unsatisfying about the most common description of large language models. We are told they are statistical systems that predict the next token. This is true. But it is the kind of accuracy that closes a conversation rather than opening one. It names the mechanism and stops there, as if […]
Fast code is easy. Maintainable software is still hard. What Exactly Is “Vibe Coding”? If you’ve been using Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, or ChatGPT heavily, you already know what this feels like. You stop thinking line-by-line. Instead, you start operating on intention. You describe what you want: And suddenly… code appears. A lot of code. […]
I realized how powerful AI really is over the past couple of weeks. I started dabbling with ChatGPT about two and a half years ago. I’ve used it for a lot of interesting things — from making up superhero-themed cocktails based on whatever ingredients I had on hand, to building custom GPTs loaded with resources […]
The study doesn’t reveal a crisis — it documents AI’s normal learning curve, the same adoption bottlenecks that shaped PCs and the internet. You’ve seen this MIT study. Or at least you heard people talk about how 95% of organizations are getting zero return. Your LinkedIn feed is full of people sharing it with knowing nods, saying […]
