What the first real data on agentic software development tells us — and what it means for how teams should be working in 2026. 1. The most quoted law in software is still standing “Good, fast, cheap. Pick two.” It is the most cited constraint in project management, attributed without much evidence to the Victorian […]
I’m a Dead PM. AI Killed Me.
The traditional PM role isn’t just changing — it’s being structurally replaced from the inside. One person, the right spec, and the right toolchain now does what five used to. Here’s what that actually looks like.
The MVP Is Dead. Vibe Coding Killed It. But Not For the Reason You Think.
The MVP was always a workaround for expensive software. Vibe coding eliminated that excuse. Here’s why the prototype is now the spec — and why spec-first is the only rational model for what comes next.
You Don’t Have an Architecture Problem. You Have an Artifact Problem.
The conversation about AI-native software development is having the wrong argument.
The SDLC Didn’t Get Faster. It Got Restructured.
What AI actually changes about every stage of software development — and why the phase everyone ignores is now the most important one.
Distribution Is the New Dev Budget
I raised $100,000, burned $90,000 on development, and shipped to almost nobody. Here’s the ratio I wish I’d known — and why the economics of 2026 have made getting this wrong significantly more expensive.
I Stopped My SAFe Certification in 2020. Here’s Why I Was Wrong.
SAFe felt like enterprise overhead for a 15-person studio. Then we added AI agents to the workflow — and discovered that the coordination layer SAFe was solving for doesn’t disappear when the team is small. It explodes.
The Document That Never Rots.
How structured artifacts living in Git are becoming the operating layer of AI-native software — and why there’s no single right way to do it yet. Field notes from a studio that rebuilt how it works from the ground up.
The Spec Was Always the Product
AI didn’t create spec-driven development. It just made ignoring it unaffordable.
