Intent as infrastructure
As AI drives the marginal cost of execution toward zero, the real bottlenecks move to intent, constraints, and verification. What used to be "good practice" becomes mandatory operating infrastructure.

No Tests, No Merge
In the AI era, code is cheap. Proof is not. If your PR cannot survive adversarial verification, it has no merit, no matter who (or what) wrote it.

The Inversion
When execution gets cheap but recognition lags, consensus culture can delay adaptation, then accelerate overreaction. The danger isn’t the technology. It’s the coordination lag.

How to win the dashboard and lose the business
AI will not save you from bad management and metric traps.

The Local Optimization Trap
New research shows AI doesn’t reduce work - it intensifies it, leading to burnout. What it really captures is Goodhart’s Law at machine speed.

Judgment Is the Scarce Resource
AI doesn’t eliminate skill - it reprices it. As execution becomes cheap, judgment, supervision, and verification become the real bottlenecks.

ICP Smells Like Trouble
Unstoppable apps, very stoppable assumptions.

ARK and The Coordination Shift
ARK frames AI as a macroeconomic accelerator; on the ground it exposes a different truth. Execution is cheap - coherence is scarce.

When Code Gets Cheap
AI doesn’t remove engineering judgment - it makes its absence obvious.

Code Review Is a Dead End
Code review doesn’t scale in a world where code is cheap. If you’re spending more time reading AI output than proving behavior with tests, the bottleneck isn’t the model - it’s your process.

Coherence is The Bottleneck
As agents multiply output, the edge shifts from speed to proof: constraints, boundaries, and fast falsification.

The Centaur Manifest
Ship faster by designing systems that prove themselves.

10x: The Coordination Shift
Why "moving faster" in 2026 is mostly about coordinating better - and what to do about it. Download the 10× essay.
