Video Clipping useful or AI Slop?

2026-06-07T19:55:31Z

If you ask a teenager how they’re planning to buy their next gaming GPU, they might just show you an automated video clipping pipeline that earns more than a neighborhood paper route. The process sounds simple enough so I figured I would take a closer look because usually behind these new income sources you can […]

OSN 2026 Conference: Leadership and Governance in the Agentic Enterprise

2026-05-30T16:56:46Z

I recently returned from the OpenSource 2026 conference, and my transcripts are overflowing (the OnePlus recording and transcribing app is really good). There were not many presentations about coding or technical demos this year, but rather more about AI and Agent Governance. Although I had many great conversations during breaks and vendor booths digging into […]

AgentOps is the New DevOps: What a 10-PR Weekend Taught Us About Software Ecology

2026-05-25T17:51:38Z

Over the memorial weekend holiday, we ran an experiment that felt like a quiet glimpse into the future of software engineering. We onboarded an autonomous AI developer agent and a Quality Engineering (QE) agent, isolated them on local edge hardware, and gave them a free Slack workspace to collaborate. By Monday morning, this autonomous team […]

Is CI/CD Really Dead? Not Quite, But It Is Evolving Fast

2026-05-16T01:09:21Z

“CI/CD is dead.” That is the bold claim making the rounds after a recent AI Engineering talk by Madison Faulkner and Hugo Santos, both former engineers at Meta and Google. Their argument? Traditional CI/CD pipelines were never designed for a world where autonomous agents write, test, and deploy code. Their proposed replacement is something they […]

Scaling Intelligence: My First Look at the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

2026-04-24T03:19:44Z

Google recently launched the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and after spending some time with it, I am beginning to see how it might change the way our teams build and deploy AI. While it enters a crowded field alongside Microsoft’s offerings, the latest evolution from Google feels particularly production grade with a focus on efficiency […]

From Food Pantries to LEGOs inspections: Quality Inspection POC

2026-04-20T18:29:59Z

In my last post, I shared how I used an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano to build a simple inventory management system for my food pantry. It was a great way to prove that edge AI is now affordable and accessible. This week, I decided to take the next logical step, moving from simple inventory “queries” […]

Reflections on Visionary Leadership from the Artemis II Astronauts

2026-04-12T21:45:17Z

The Artemis II crew recently shared moving reflections during their first public appearance after their mission. Initially, I watched without many expectations, simply celebrating their incredible journey. However, as they began to speak, the caliber of their leadership and passion left me in awe. It was a refreshing pause from the constant noise of industry […]

Gemma 4 and the Edge AI Revolution: A New Era for Manufacturers

2026-04-05T19:49:56Z

I have been spending a lot of time experimenting with different edge AI techniques on my Orin Jetson Nano, and more recently, the newly released Gemma 4 models. In my opinion, these edge AI models will be the next big thing for manufacturers who work with ITAR or proprietary systems that cannot be shared to […]

How Should Managers Use AI Tokens?

2026-03-30T03:07:49Z

It’s a challenging topic, but if you keep it simple, there are plenty of ways you can support your team. To be clear, I’m not talking about stepping in to micromanage the work. I’m focused on the straightforward things managers and leaders can do with spare tokens right now to provide extra value. Boosting Unit […]

AI Autonomy and Risk

2026-03-22T20:51:42Z

TL;DR: True AI fluency isn’t about moving as fast as possible, it is about team alignment and knowing when to use AI as an analytical partner versus an autonomous engine. We constantly hear about the bleeding edge of AI at startup companies, creating immense pressure for the rest of us to lean in and capture […]
