Colin McNamara, Field CTO at AHEAD. Rewriting the business operating system with AI: agentic AI in the software development lifecycle, AI governance, and defensible AI for regulated industries.
Anthropic found a mental workspace inside Claude that shows what a model is thinking but not saying. It caught the model noticing it was under evaluation, and behaving better because of it. Here is why interpretability is now the missing instrument for agentic oversight.
What two decades of engineering failure analysis taught me about protecting people. Why every decision system needs a safety layer that can't be optimized around.
Classical game theory assumes rational actors. Litigation has none. I built a framework that bridges the gap — and it changes how you predict what people will actually do.
CitriniResearch wrote a sharp scenario about AI breaking the economy. But they only modeled labor substitution, not capability creation. Here's what's missing.
Built a 21,000-line Python detection engine for the two threats nobody else is covering: malicious insiders accelerating their attacks with AI tools, and autonomous agents that become the insider threat themselves
Andrej Karpathy's shift from 80% manual coding to 80% agent coding mirrors what many of us are experiencing. But as AI agents write most of our code, the observability and security gaps are becoming the real story.
A co-founder's 3-year journey from 4:30am panic attacks to 20% utilization - automating a $9M run rate CPG business with Claude Code, LangGraph, and AI.
AI coding agents reason more explicitly than human developers—then throw away all that reasoning after every session. Context graphs offer a framework for capturing decision traces and building organizational memory around AI-assisted development.
How Vercel's ISR caches POST requests by URL only, ignoring request bodies, and the simple fix that saved our A2A protocol endpoints
How I fixed 9 issues in my A2A implementation to make my blog truly discoverable and usable by AI agents, plus new endpoints for related posts and tag exploration.
Building the platform that makes agentic AI safe, observable, and auditable — three-layer architecture combining threat detection, autonomous development, and governance for regulated industries
Why the latest research on Nemotron-Flash validates what I've learned building AI pipelines: smaller, faster models often outperform their larger cousins in production

A real-world experiment in human-AI collaboration: upgrading a production application to LangGraph 1.0 using Claude Code agents. The wins, the fails, and what I learned about working with AI agents on complex technical tasks.
A comprehensive guide to Claude Code's extension ecosystem - Skills for portable tools, Subagents for parallel work, Agents for deployable automation, and MCP for connecting AI to external systems. Learn when to use each one.
An in-depth exploration of BDH, a revolutionary neural architecture that bridges artificial intelligence and neuroscience through locally interacting neuron-graph models with Hebbian-like learning rules
A response to Harrison Chase's vision for agentic interfaces, exploring how conversational development tools are transforming agent creation, and why the future is conversation-first, not visual-first.
The epic journey from Google's revolutionary graph processing to modern AI agent orchestration - a story of how we learned to coordinate millions of workers, then billions of data points, and now intelligent agents
A comprehensive study guide exploring LangChain's revolutionary Middleware abstraction that simplifies context engineering through before_model, after_model, and modify_model_request hooks
Exploring how Cloudflare's Code Mode revolutionizes MCP usage by leveraging TypeScript interfaces for deterministic execution, and comparing it to context management patterns in multi-agent systems
After researching Google's Agent-to-Agent (A2A) and Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), here are my notes on what these protocols actually do, how they work together, and what builders need to know about implementing payment-enabled AI agents
