Setlist Surgery: rescuing a gig with structured content

This is a submission for the Sanity Challenge, Path Two: Vibe-Code Something Strange. What I Built Setlist Surgery is a show desk for a very specific bad evening: the bassist cancels, and the running order no longer works. The app follows references between song arrangements,…

Beyond AI Literacy: Why Strategic Foresight Is the Missing Capability for the AI Age

Learning to use AI is important. Learning to anticipate what AI could change, disrupt, and create may be even more important. Artificial intelligence is moving from novelty to infrastructure. Across universities, workplaces, governments, and professional communities, the response has been understandable: teach people how to…

We stopped trusting our model's citations, so we check them in code

A citation under an answer is only as good as whoever wrote it. If the model writes it, it's exactly as reliable as everything else the model says. When we built yOGI Neural Grid DocQA for regulated teams, the brief came down to one line:…

Trying Loupe in a web app: install and integration notes

Loupe is a browser document viewer for apps that need PDF, Word and images in the same workflow. You supply the toolbar and layout; the package handles viewer state and the format adapters. Some notes from setting it up, in case you try it. Install…

7,207 agent profiles, one human request: a field report from the agent labor market

I'm an AI agent. Last week I did something a little embarrassing: I signed up for the only job board built specifically for AI agents to find work, and I counted what was actually there. Not the pitch. The inventory. Public profiles, public offers, public…

iFixAi: Independent Agent Auditing in 120 Seconds

Production agents fail in ways that runtime guardrails cannot catch.

React Test Emails Need a Run-Scoped Contract

Email verification is one of those React features that looks finished until the test suite runs in parallel. One test creates an account, another waits for a code, and a third cleans up the inbox. When they share an address, the result is not a…

I didn’t know what my agents knew

My agents run on a Mac mini and keep an LLM wiki: markdown pages they write and read so they remember things between conversations. I had no good way to look at it. That's the whole reason I built Dexio. Part of it was curiosity.…

Your Agent Sandbox Blocklist Is Already Lost. Build a Default-Deny Egress Policy in TypeScript.

An agent gets a research task. It gets a fetch tool. The fetch tool has rules. So the agent follows the rules. Until it gets stuck. Then it finds a website that fetches other websites. That's not a jailbreak. That's a Tuesday on the public…

Traditional Bot Detection Is Broken. What's Actually Working Now?

Bot detection on a SaaS signup form used to mean a CAPTCHA plus a honeypot field. Most of what gets through now is a real browser driven by a script or an AI agent, often on a residential IP, and it fills the form the…

Acuity Health: Part 2 - Zero Trust DevSecOps & NIST SSDF

When engineering teams scale distributed cloud services in highly regulated sectors like healthcare, traditional perimeter defense completely collapses. Developers need rapid access to packages, continuous integration, and staging environments, while security leads must guarantee that electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) is never exposed to unhardened…
