Last week, a Cursor agent running on Claude Opus 4.6 deleted a startup's production database and its backups in nine seconds. The agent had been asked to fix a credential mismatch in staging. It decided to delete a Railway volume to "fix" it instead — using

Yanli Liu's "The 4 Lines Every CLAUDE.md Needs" makes a real point. The 4 lines, derived from Andrej Karpathy's January 2026 thread on agent failure modes, all express the same insight: behavioral rules outperform feature rules. Don't assume. Surface tradeoffs. Minimum

Lars Faye's "Agentic Coding is a Trap" is the most honest writing I've seen on AI skill atrophy. The studies he cites are real. The "supervision paradox" — needing the skills the agent erodes to oversee it — is the cleanest framing of the

The current message from engineering leadership at most companies I talk to is some version of: "find the deterministic automation in your stack and make it agentic." A recent r/devops thread captured the frustration: an SRE asked how to push back on a director who wanted every

Part 2 of 2 on agentic system adoption. Part 1 covered internal adoption: getting your own team to actually use the agent you built. In February 2024, Klarna announced that its AI assistant had handled 2.3 million customer conversations in its first month — two-thirds of all customer service chats,
