笔记The tumult in between
If AI ends in post-scarcity, the dangerous part is the interval: jobs going before goods become nearly free, with no agreed idea of where the ship steers.

笔记The window before the utility
Tokens will be a metered utility and AI as ordinary as electricity. Until then, learning to use it well is an advantage that will not come around again.

笔记Opus 5.5 is the best Opus since 4.5
A month in, Claude Opus 5.5 feels like the next milestone after Opus 4.5: the same jump in what Claude Code can carry, now faster and cheaper per task.

The Bill Is Part of the Loop
Every model response already carries its own bill in the usage field, and the loop throws it away. This post reads that field, prices it against a table, and turns cost into a value the loop can see per turn and act on: a metering decorator that needs no loop change, a running ledger, prompt-cache accounting that moves the number the most, and a budget that degrades before it stops. Part eight of The Agent Platform Handbook.

The Model Is a Dependency
Every layer of the harness has existed to put the right tokens in front of one hardcoded model string. This post pulls that string out and makes the model a dependency: why you route a cheap model for easy turns and a strong one for hard turns, what a fallback looks like when a provider is down, and why 'models are commodities' is a claim about your architecture before it is a claim about the market. Part seven of The Agent Platform Handbook.

Context Is the Product
Models are commodities. Context is not. The sources of context an agent draws on, why retrieval alone is not enough, and a minimal .AGENTS/ convention that loads context from disk into the same harness we have been building. Part four of The Agent Platform Handbook.

Patents Per Capita Is a Vanity Metric
Switzerland tops the Global Innovation Index for the fifteenth year running. As an engineer, that should make you suspicious of the metric, not proud of the country.

The Economics of Inference
Inference tokens are not API calls. They are a metered resource that is consumed, generates value, and correlates with power draw. The economics of the post-AI world look less like software and more like water, electricity, and gas.

What Sixteen AI Agents Taught Me About Management
What happens when you give sixteen AI agents an org chart, a reporting structure, and a token budget. A story about orchestration, management, and running out of runway.

How AI Makes Bare Metal Viable Again
I migrated two production apps from Kubernetes to a single Hetzner box. The missing piece was not the hardware.
