The rise of Replit and coding agents does not eliminate software engineering: it shifts human work from writing lines of code toward specifying, verifying, and directing systems that program.
How YouTube, Telegram, and other platforms can keep our data for years
The cloud is not infinite: distributed storage, erasure coding, hot/cold tiers, compression, caches, and economies of scale explain how large platforms preserve enormous volumes of data for years.
Agents that live in the cloud and learn from their work: persistent sandboxes and trajectories
Two ideas turn an AI agent into infrastructure: decoupling it from the computer where it executes work and capturing its trajectories as data for evaluation and training.
AI Pods: from software teams to on-demand engineering capacity
AI Pods change the economic unit of software engineering: from headcount and hours to elastic, orchestrated, and verifiable capacity.
