DDD Is Not Dying. Cargo-Cult DDD Is.

This is not an attack on Domain-Driven Design. The core value of DDD still matters, perhaps even more in the age of AI. Understanding a complex business domain Defining bounded contexts Aligning language between engineers and domain experts Discovering invariants Making state transitions explicit Understanding where change will hurt These things do not become less important because code generation gets faster. In fact, they become more important. AI is powerful, but it does not remove the need f

Don’t trust me, verify me: openunit, a unit of account you can recompute byte-for-byte

The promise Most numbers you read about the economy ask for your trust. A price index, an exchange rate, a “fair value” — you take the institution’s word for it, because you can’t recompute it yourself. openunit is built the other way around. It’s a small, open reference implementation of a unit of account: a measuring stick for value. The entire design goal is that you don’t have to trust me. You clone the repo, run two commands, and get the exact same number I published — down to the last di

The Data Scientist's Guide to AI Summarization in 2026

I gotta say, the Data Scientist's Guide to AI Summarization in 2026 I have spent the better part of three years building summarization pipelines, and I can tell you with reasonable statistical confidence that most engineering teams are overspending by a wide margin. The market has shifted dramatically, and the data I am about to walk you through tells a very specific story. Last quarter, I ran a comparative analysis across 184 models accessible through Global API, and what I found genuinely surp

Your AI agent remembers what sounds related, not what worked

I spent a couple of weeks asking people a pretty basic question. If you are actually running agents, past the demo, in something resembling production, how do you handle memory? I was expecting a handful of tips. What I got instead was the same frustration over and over, and a problem that, as far as I can tell, nobody has cleanly solved yet. So I am writing it down, because if you build with agents you are going to run straight into it. The thing everyone starts with Most agent memory works the

The Complete Guide to Agentic IDEs in 2026: Pricing, Free Tiers & Which One is Right for You

The AI coding tool landscape has exploded. Here's every serious option, what it actually costs, and who should use it. The word "IDE" barely captures what these tools are anymore. The best of them don't just suggest code — they plan, execute, test, debug, and iterate across your entire codebase without you holding their hand at every step. That's what "agentic" means in practice. But the market is genuinely confusing right now. Credit systems, usage quotas, BYOK models, terminal agents, native p
