Inside Microsoft’s big Copilot rethink

Last week, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hosted an intimate, invite-only event for leaders from some of its key enterprise customers. Instead of a flashy media event, Nadella outlined the future of Copilot directly to the customers Microsoft really cares about, pitching its latest rethink of the AI assistant as the "OS for work." Microsoft is […]

Roslansky's departure has triggered another leadership shuffle inside Microsoft. "Ryan leaves the organization […]

Can VR glasses save VR?

I'm pretty sure I won't be buying the $1,299 Meta VR Glasses. That's too rich for my blood in today's economy, and my feelings about Meta are… conflicted. But I want you to understand that Meta just changed the game. We've had glasses, but we've never had glasses like this. The Meta VR Glasses are […]

GitHub Student Developer Pack: What's Included and How I'd Use It

What this is about Learning cloud and DevOps has a cost problem. The tools are paid, the infrastructure bills by the hour, and the good courses sit behind subscriptions. Plenty of people learn the concepts and never get to use the professional tooling that goes with them. The GitHub Student Developer Pack takes much of that cost away while you're a verified student. I have it, I use part of it, and this post covers what's in it, how I'd pick from it as someone building toward Cloud/DevO...

Sponsoring Gas Without Holding User Funds: Paymasters and the Trust Model

The awkward edge case in a consumer wallet flow is the first transaction: the user has the asset your application needs, but none of the chain’s native token. Asking them to visit an exchange or bridge before they can use the app is technically honest and often terrible UX. Account abstraction offers another option. A paymaster can cover the network fee while the user’s assets remain in their own smart account. That removes one prerequisite, but it also introduces a sponsor with policy contro...

Making a PHP app legible to AI agents

The problem: agents invent APIs I've been building CMS software for web designers since 2015. This year I started building with coding agents every day, and I kept hitting the same failure. I'd ask an agent to add a section to a site, and it would confidently write a template that called a function that didn't exist. Plausible name, plausible arguments, wrong. Sometimes it came from an older version. Sometimes it was invented whole. The code looked right, and that was the problem. A br...

P vs NP Explained: Why the Most Important Question in Computer Science Matters

Let’s talk about P vs NP—the single most important unsolved problem in theoretical computer science, a Clay Mathematics Institute Millennium Prize Problem, and a question with a $1,000,000 bounty on its head. At its core, the problem boils down to a strikingly simple question: If it is easy to CHECK that a solution to a problem is correct, is it also easy to FIND that solution from scratch? Let’s break this down from first principles with zero fluff. The Core Definitions Theoretica...

A 3B model that beats a 7B: failure-driven orchestration on uncontaminated knowledge

How a fully sovereign QA stack — local Wikipedia index, distilled Qwen2.5-3B reader, and crutches built only from measured failures — went from 33% to 52% on facts no LLM can have memorized, and matched a zero-shot 7B more than twice its size. TL;DR Configuration Post-cutoff-150 accuracy 3B naked (no retrieval) 0.0% [0–2.5] 7B naked 0.0% (by construction — see below) 3B + sovereign chain (start, Sep 29) 33.3% 3B + sovereign cha...

A Cucumber Alternative for Kotlin and Java

Cucumber earns its place on one kind of test: an acceptance test whose output someone outside the development team reads. A tester, an analyst, a product owner. That reader is the only reason to put Given-When-Then on a test at all. Unit tests are code, and developers can read code. I wrote Kensa for that reader, and it works the same in Kotlin and Java. This post takes a Cucumber scenario, moves it to Kensa, and maps the rest of Cucumber's concepts across, so you can see what a move involv...

Your AWS role can't tell a human from an agent anymore, part 1: the threat model and the identity problem

Here's the honest thing nobody says at the "why hasn't AI coding taken over my org yet" keynote: the individual experience is genuinely great. Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw — spin them up on a single machine and the productivity bump is real. You finish in an hour what used to take a day. The step that dies is enterprise adoption . Not because the tools stop working — but because a company running a proper SDLC can't just log in and let an agent have the run of the place at 9am for the nex...

Your AWS role can't tell a human from an agent anymore, part 3: the SCP backstop

Part 1 gave the agent its own identity; part 2 made its calls visible. Neither of those stops a determined mistake. This part is the one that holds when they do. Layer 3 — Enforce: SCP as the hard backstop No matter how careful you are with identity and action-level IAM, give enough engineers this pattern and someone will reuse their admin role , or the one with iam:* , or a production break-glass role. Policy review culture only gets you so far. That's where Service...
