THE BUILDER LAYER — PART 1: ACT
AI did not replace software engineers. It removed some of their hiding places. As execution gets cheaper, the bottleneck moves up: coordination, judgment, and system design.

Without effective communication there is no effective execution. You're safe because agents don't have these capabilities to self-organise enough yet.
🤖3 years ago I've been starting this blog and made a promise avoiding AI content here. Things are changing, yet I don't want to give up on the promises. I'm introducing "ai-augmented" tag that will be attached to all upcoming posts that was processed heavily by AI. You don't have to guess - decide what matters to you. AI agents introduce more chaos. AI augmented closed-circuit loops bring changes. Here is how I made a useful AI agent for content management. AI does not replace people. I proc
🤖3 years ago I’ve been starting this blog and made a promise avoding AI content here. Things are changing, yet I don’t want to give up on the promises. I’m introducing “ai-augmented” tag that will be attached to all upcoming posts that was processed heavily by AI. You don’t have to guess - decide what matters to you. My Hermes agent hit the memory cap. So I built a second layer. Most agents stop at one. Mine has two. Using the Google’s OKF specification. The first layer is a 2,200-character f
AI agents are the new drill in the software engineer’s toolbox. Faster? Absolutely. Revolutionary? Maybe. But a drill doesn’t replace the process of building a house. In this article, I explore why SDLC, architecture, testing, and delivery remain as important as ever.
