The Low-Tech AI Of Elden Ring (14 minute read)
The AI in Elden Ring relies on a simple design that uses a stack-based goal management system, allowing for dynamic and hierarchical state execution. Each actor uses "Goals," which can adapt based on context and randomness, enabling complex behavior without a convoluted structure. This approach is different from more traditional AI frameworks like Behavior Trees, with a straightforward mechanism for action selection and state transitions during gameplay.

Hidden Technical Debt of AI Systems: Agent Harness (29 minute read)
Building agentic products involves creating harness code that manages the interaction between AI models and various environments. However, much of this harness work is expected to become obsolete with advancements in AI model capabilities, leading teams to face technical debt if they treat their harness as a permanent solution. The production and training harnesses should be designed with distinct purposes in mind, where the production harness is constraining for safe operation, while the training harness allows for exploration and learning.

An Ex-Meta L8's Agentic Engineering Setup (22 minute read)
After years of experience driving agent adoption in engineering organizations, switching to a solo approach has improved productivity for this engineer. The transformation came from a messy but insightful process of refining workflows and embracing agents, ultimately allowing for less hands-on coding and more strategic management of the development process. This includes having a clear planning structure, using voice input, and using custom tools to remove friction and enabling parallel task management.

The Coming Loop (14 minute read)
Recent advancements in coding automation show a shift towards increasingly complex "loops" that extend the functionality of coding agents. While this method has benefits for tasks like code porting and performance exploration, there are concerns about how hands-off approaches may lead to less comprehensible and maintainable code.

Building in the Age of Collaborative Coding (9 minute read)
Coding agents have gotten good enough that writing code is nearly free, and teams run many agents in parallel, which makes human review the real bottleneck. Bolting AI onto old handoff-heavy waterfall workflows keeps delivery flat. The fix is a “collaborative coding” model where the whole team (PM, design, and QA) works with agents directly and in parallel, validation moves earlier so the final PR review is just about the code.

Will It Mythos? (13 minute read)
Mythos is a security tool believed to be amazing at finding vulnerabilities, but there's skepticism about the validity of its claims and operational costs that may limit broader access. Therefore, a benchmarking project was launched to test whether other AI models could match Mythos's performance in identifying security bugs, using a collection of confirmed vulnerabilities it had previously found. Preliminary results show that, while some models performed surprisingly well, none consistently outperformed Mythos.
