Tech debt is framed as a developer failing, but the accumulation pattern is always managerial. Fix the incentives, not just the code.

Story points, t-shirt sizes, and ideal days all try to predict how long work will take by guessing harder. The data your team already has predicts better than any guess — if you stop estimating and start counting.

AI made engineers 10x faster. PMs didn't keep up. Andrew Ng named it. LinkedIn already restructured around it. Here's what your team should actually do.

AI just cut engineering cycle time by 80%. Your feature-decision process still takes three weeks. You didn't solve delivery. You exposed discovery.

SWE-bench Verified is broken. OpenAI officially stopped using it. The same models scoring 80%+ on Verified score only 23% on the contamination-resistant version. Here's what happened, why it matters, and how to actually evaluate AI coding tools.

AI agents don't make your messy codebase invisible — they make it expensive. When 78% of Claude Code sessions involve multi-file edits, your architecture quality is no longer a code-quality concern. It's a cost and velocity concern.

Long-running agents fail 90% more often without state persistence. This is the memory architecture — working, episodic, semantic, procedural — that makes stateful AI production-ready.

$285 billion disappeared from SaaS valuations in 48 hours in February 2026. Most analysis blamed AI agents. The real mechanism was a 25-year pricing assumption that everyone forgot was an assumption.

AI agents can execute from a precise spec. The real bottleneck shifted from writing code to writing what you want — clearly. Here's what changed, why it matters for engineers, PMs, and managers, and how to actually do it.

Base44 sold for $80M. Medvi hit $401M with one employee. The one-person company isn't a thought experiment anymore — but the playbook everyone's selling you is missing the hard parts.

The org chart most teams run was designed when humans wrote all the code. Anthropic's 2026 data says that assumption is gone. Here is what the structure should look like now — and what roles actually matter.

Story points don't predict delivery. Velocity charts don't measure velocity. Here's how to plan engineering work without the agile cosplay.

Claude 4 didn't get stupider. Your safety layer is failing. How to identify when the problem is your architecture, not the LLM.

Every company says they have an AI strategy. Most are just feature roadmaps with AI stickers on them. Here is the difference that matters.

You don't need to be a developer. You don't need to hire a dev agency. The tooling has gotten so good that wanting one is now a good reason to build it.

Your engineers are customers. Your product is their velocity and happiness. You're not managing engineers—you're shipping team output.

The 6-week sprint was invented because execution was expensive. AI coding agents just made execution cheap. Here's what that means if you're a product manager.
