AI Prototypes Aren't Production-Ready: Bridging the Development Gap
AI accelerates prototype creation, but doesn't replace engineering judgment needed for production systems.
Why it mattersAI's ability to generate prototypes rapidly highlights the enduring importance of engineering judgment. As AI tools evolve, developers face new challenges in transforming these prototypes into production-ready systems, emphasizing the need for robust educational frameworks and experienced oversight.

AI Agents: The Good, The Bad
I wasted weeks trying to fix my AI agent with better prompts. More instructions. More examples. More “check your work before finishing.” The responses improved, but the agent didn’t. It still forgot earlier decisions, r…
