I use AI coding agents every day. I believe they are reshaping how we build software, and I think the teams that adopt them deliberately will outperform those that don't. I am not writing this to warn you away from AI-assisted development. I am writing this because the loudest voices in the AI enthusiasm camp are also the most allergic to discussing what can go wrong. And that worries me more than
Most TypeScript teams shopping for an agent framework don't need one. A single generateObject call covers classification, extraction, summarization, tagging — the 80% case for production LLM work in TS right now.

They are too busy configuring its sixth wrapper. This is the post about that wrapper. When som
Every team experiences incidents. The teams that grow stronger from them are the ones that take postmortems seriously — not as blame sessions, but as structured learning opportunities. Yet most postmortems end up as a wall of text nobody reads twice, filed away and forgotten until the same incident happens again six months later. This guide walks you through writing postmortems that genuinely chan
