AI SDLC Governance: Three Layers for Engineering Leaders
• UpdatedA three-layer governance stack (comprehension, review gate, and observability) gives engineering leaders measurable control over AI-generated code volume.
-
How Does Context Engineering Drive Multi-Agent Reliability?
• UpdatedContext engineering turns AI context into infrastructure, preventing the accumulation, starvation, and leakage failures that undermine multi-agent reliability.
-
Open-Weight LLMs Reach the Structured Output Quality Ceiling
• UpdatedOpen-weight models now match closed-source on structured output at 95x lower cost. Pre-registered blind eval, 30 samples, zero quality delta.
-
AI Adoption in Engineering: Breaking the 50% Plateau
• UpdatedPurpose-built AI tooling cuts per-task cost 21-68%. Three-cohort model and four-phase operating framework for engineering leaders past the 50% adoption plateau.
-
AI Delivery Decision Frameworks: Type 1, Type 2, DACI
• UpdatedMisclassifying reversible decisions costs more than the decision itself. Four frameworks unblock AI delivery: Type 1/Type 2, Eisenhower, DACI, and PMBOK.
-
What a Null Result Taught Us About AI Agent Evaluation
• UpdatedWe tested prompt repetition on 20 parallel AI agents. Ceiling effects dominated both experiments. The null result is a finding about evaluation design.
-
Why Your AI Agent Failed in Production
• UpdatedWhy your AI agent failed: missing decision provenance, not metrics. The 3 observability gaps traditional monitoring won't catch.
-
RAG for Legacy Systems: 7,432 Pages to 3s Answers
• Updated7,432 pages to 3-second answers. Production RAG for legacy systems with model-agnostic reranking. No vendor lock-in, validated across 4 LLM families.
-
AI Agents in Legacy Systems: ROI Without Modernization
• UpdatedLayer AI agents over legacy systems without modernization. 30-80% productivity gains in 3-6 months. Patterns that bypass technical debt.
-
AI Supply Chain Attacks: New Vectors in Dependencies
• UpdatedSlopsquatting: attackers register packages AI hallucinates. XZ Utils showed the stakes. A framework to assess your AI supply chain exposure.
-
Orchestrating AI Agents: A Subagent Architecture
• Updated50% cost reduction with subagent architecture for AI coding. Capable models for planning, fast models for building. Real metrics from Goose.
-
AI-Augmented CI/CD: Shift Left Security Without Risk
• UpdatedAI code review in CI/CD without prompt injection. Defensive patterns: three security tiers, isolated execution, no secrets in prompts.
-
AI-Assisted Development: The Accountability Layer
• UpdatedAI made writing code faster. Without governance controls, it makes reviewing and understanding code slower. The accountability layer is the structural response.
-
AI-Governed DNS Migration Without Maintenance Windows
• UpdatedProgrammatic pre-validation eliminates the weekend window from DNS migrations. Full platform migration: 2 hours, business hours, zero downtime.
