Your ML System Is Not “Done” at Launch: A Pragmatic Guide to Evaluation, Drift, and Cost
Why this matters this week A pattern keeps repeating across teams that ship real systems: Models go live with “good enough” offline metrics. Product impact is unclear after the initial launch. Six months later, infra spend has doubled, alert noise is up, and nobody trusts the metrics. This isn’t about frontier models or research. It’s…

Stop Calling It an “Agent” If It’s Just a Cron Job with a LLM
Why this matters this week Two things are colliding in production environments right now: LLMs are finally good enough (and cheap enough) to sit in the middle of real workflows. The RPA/“screen scraping” band-aids you put in 2017 are starting to fail in ways that are expensive, opaque, and hard to fix. If you run…

Stop Treating AI as a Junior Dev: Design It as Infrastructure
Why this matters this week The conversation in engineering orgs has quietly shifted from: “Should we use AI for code?” to “Why are our tests flaky and our infra bill up 20% since we turned this on?” If you’re running a team that ships production systems, the real questions aren’t about model benchmarks. They’re about:…

Solid-State Batteries Stop Being Vaporware (Sort Of)
Why this matters this week If you run anything that touches EVs, grid storage, or battery supply chains, solid-state batteries (SSBs) just crossed a line: First pilot-scale solid-state cells are leaving labs and entering structured fleet tests. Multiple OEMs have quietly locked in 2027–2030 timelines for SSB integration in premium EV trims. At least two…

Your LLM Governance Is Probably Fake: How to Make It Real Before Audit Season
Why this matters this week Most orgs are moving from “LLM experiments” to “LLM in the critical path.” The governance story hasn’t kept up. Three things are converging right now: SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audits are catching up to AI Auditors are starting to ask: Where does prompt/response data live? How long is it…

Stop Letting AWS Serverless Bleed You Dry: A Pragmatic Cloud Engineering Playbook
Why this matters this week AWS bills and incident reviews are both saying the same thing for a lot of teams right now: Serverless is no longer the cheap “default good choice” Platform sprawl is killing observability and reliability Finance is starting to ask hard questions about cost per request / per workflow Several teams…
