Agentic Readiness Analysis (ARA): The Step Most Teams Skip Before Building AI Agents

The Problem No One Talks About Everyone is building AI agents. Few are asking the right question first: Are my systems actually ready to be called by one? Many organizations build agents on top of systems that fundamentally don’t support them. The vulnerabilities were always there. Agents just amplify them at machine speed, and what was […]

Strands Multi-Agent Patterns: Which One Should You Use?

When I started building multi-agent systems with Strands Agents, the first decision I faced was architectural: which pattern fits my use case? Knowing what is available upfront saves you from reinventing the wheel — or worse, discovering mid-build that you picked the wrong structure. Strands offers five distinct patterns. Understanding each one lets you pick the […]

History-Aware Steering Files for Kiro-Enabled Repos

How to guide large-scale refactors and reorganizations using explicit, versioned rules instead of tribal memory Every repository tells a story. The problem is, most of that story is buried in commit logs, scattered Jira tickets, and the heads of two engineers who happen to remember why utils_v2_FINAL.py exists alongside utils_v3_backup.py. Over time, repos accumulate entropy. Modules overlap. Naming […]

The Roaming Terminal: Blink + mosh + Tailscale + tmux

It’s 2:07pm on a Tuesday. I’m deep in a codegen loop — Claude is running, files are being written, I’m watching diffs scroll and making small corrections, building momentum. Good session. My phone buzzes. Calendar notification: Dentist — cleaning. 2:30pm. I stare at it for a second. I don’t cancel the run. I don’t kill the […]

A Bee-utiful Journey into Image Processing: Part 1

A (very) basic flow of the project It was a very, very, boring day in late May for me. My freshman year at college had just ended two weeks ago, and it would be another two weeks before my summer classes would begin. I’m not a workaholic, but I tend to be a bit of a […]

AI-DLC: The Next Evolution of Software Delivery (A Hands-On Guide)

Software development has always been a game of managing dependencies: waiting on requirements, waiting on reviews, waiting on deployments. Teams have optimized this process for decades, but the fundamental bottleneck remained: humans waiting on other humans. AI changed the conversation. But not in the way most expected. The Problem with How We Use AI Today […]
