A multi-agent Claude Code session reveals the real cost isn't parallel subagents but context pollution from raw transcript dumps in the orchestrator.
New Verification Gate Catches AI Models' Silent Omissions
A layered verification gate now catches AI models that silently skip claims they should surface, splitting omission into checkable failure states.
Why Raft Rebuilt Notifications to Work for AI Agents, Not Just Humans
Raft's engineering team redesigned notification architecture after discovering AI agents can't selectively ignore messages the way humans do.
CommitBrief — AI code reviews, right in your terminal
A provider-agnostic, local-first CLI that reviews your staged changes, a historic range, or a whole GitHub pull request. Zero telemetry, no server. Free and open source.
commitbrief.comFive-Paper Series Formalizes Cohesion, Arrives at the IVP
Five Zenodo papers formalize software cohesion and derive the Independent Variation Principle, exposing gaps in common cohesion metrics.
Skipping OOP: A 3D Editor Built on Spreadsheet Cells
An engineer explains why he ditched classic OOP for a spreadsheet-like cell and program model while building a maintainable 3D mesh editor.
600 AI Architectures: What LLMs Default to When Designing Systems
Six LLM families produced 600 system architectures from identical briefs, exposing default tech choices, low consensus in key layers, and constraint-driven shifts.
Retry is not a loop, it's a data structure
Why treating retries as simple loops instead of data structures silently corrupts ordering, causes duplicates, and breaks distributed system histories.
Solo Lead Playbook: Running Product, Architecture and Backend with AI Agents
How one founder runs product, architecture, and backend engineering solo using a single AI coding agent, one collaborator, and a five-phase workflow.
AI Agents Favor Vertical Slices Over Platform-First Architecture
Why vertical slice architecture, not horizontal platforms, is the pattern AI coding agents need to ship reliable software.
Stop Editing Prompts, Build a Context Compiler Instead
Instead of hand-editing prompt strings, treat context assembly as a compiler: versioned templates, testable rules, and full traces of what shipped.
