Mastering AI Agent Attention: The Key to Success Explore the significance of an AI agent's attention span and learn to manage its context for optimal performance and reliability.

Bigger context windows aren't always better for #AIAgents. More info can drown the signal! My new post dives into attention: smart curation, scratchpads, and specialized sub-agents. Build powerful, reliable AI by managing focus, not just scale. #LLM #AI

The best way to get an agent to use an SDK appropriately isn’t to give it documentation or an llms.txt file. Instead download the SDK add the SDK source directory to your agents workspace and tell the agent it has access to the code for the SDK but it can’t make changes.

Building Secure Autonomous Agents: Guardrails for Safety Explore the new security landscape for autonomous AI agents and learn how to build powerful yet safe and trustworthy AI systems.

Autonomous AI agents are no longer just tools; they're actors. This shift demands a new focus on security. In my new post, "Putting Up the Guardrails," I break down the threats and solutions, from prompt injection to layered defenses. #AI #LLMs #Security

Mastering AI Agent Instructions: From Prompting to Programming Discover how to guide AI agents from prompting to programming for effective decision-making, enhancing their reliability and performance.

Treat your AI agent like a smart intern: brilliant, but needs clear direction. Vague goals get vague results.

Part 5 of The Agentic Shift, I explore how to architect—not just prompt—an agent's behavior by separating its core mission, session context, and tools.

You’d never tell a junior dev, "Build me a login system," and walk away. You’d provide context, constraints, and examples. Why do we treat our AI partners any differently?

Coding with agents sometimes feels like an old schoo video game. There are puzzles to solve, traps to avoid, and sometimes when you get to the end you find out that the princess is in another castle.

Running two different agents simultaneously in the same branch feels a little bit like asking for trouble. They're working on different files through, so it'll be fine, right?

The ability for models to code in python is so much better than their ability to code in other languages. It's really shocking when you start a python project after working in typescript for awile.

I use some of my personal repos to test different CLI agents and their github integrations, but holy cow is it overwhelming to get feedback from four different bots when I submit a PR.

Overcoming AI's Digital Amnesia: The Power of Memory Systems Explore how AI agents can remember context, improve communication, and bridge the gap between simple tools and intelligent partners.
