From compound AI systems to the agentic loop, MCP, APIs, frameworks, and the rise of the Claws — a technical map of what it takes to build with AI agents in 2026.
What makes one AI product defensible against another? Data, specialization, compound moats, and how the whole AI product stack maps to Moore's technology lifecycle.
What Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Levitt's whole product model, and Geoffrey Moore's crossing the chasm can teach us about building AI products that actually ship.
Cross-referencing Karpathy's AI exposure treemap with Anthropic's observed coverage data, Stanford's entry-level impact research, and the measurability thesis. Four interactive views of the gap between what AI could disrupt and what it actually is.
Two unrelated projects discovered the same pattern: point an AI agent at code, give it a score to chase, and let it run experiments until morning. I generalized it into a tool that works for any domain.
Karpathy mapped which jobs AI could disrupt. Anthropic measured which ones it actually is. The gap tells us everything about where we are, and the fault line isn't skill or education. It's whether your output can be measured.
I've been learning new programming languages by watching AI coding agents work — like shadowing a colleague. The research says this should make me worse. Here's why I think it's more complicated than that.
AI scales execution to near-zero cost. But verifying that output stays biologically bounded. The bottleneck was never intelligence. It's human verification bandwidth.
Container registries store bytes. They don't know what's inside. The Agent Registry is a governance layer for AI agents, skills, and MCP servers, built on A2A AgentCard, MCP server.json, and Agent Skills as native identity formats.
Every agent team rebuilds the same auth, rate limiting, and credential management. I built an agent gateway for Kubernetes that generates it all from two CRDs so the people building agents never touch security and the people running the platform never touch agent code.
n8n is good at workflow automation. But when your workflows touch internal models and sensitive data, you need it on the same cluster. Here's how to deploy n8n on OpenShift and wire it into vLLM and OpenShift AI.
A vendor-neutral registry for AI agents, skills, and MCP servers. Covers the problem of agent discovery, the registry architecture, and how agentctl works.
An interactive timeline of artificial intelligence milestones, from foundational research and philosophy to creative works and physical devices, overlaid with AI popularity trends.
