It’s tempting to answer that with a single word: the best one. Reach for the biggest, smartest, most expensive frontier model, point it at everything, and stop thinking. But...

So the question worth asking is: Which tasks should I delegate to an AI agent – and which ones should I keep, at least for now?...

Today, a big part of engineering is about telling an AI what to do, giving it the right context, building the machinery around it and orchestrating the whole thing. I’ve been thinking about this as a kind of stairway - a set...

That is amazing… but it is also a bit of a problem. When everybody can build a solution to almost anything in no time, it becomes...
