Explorations where software meets AI
Just Enough Developed Intelligence by Patrick Debois
I don't have this figured out. Neither does anyone else, honestly.
But I've been at a few of these inflection points before. I was there when we started calling it DevOps — not because I had the answers, but because I was asking the same uncomfortable questions everyone else was avoiding. Same with cloud, mobile, serverless, devsecops, with the shift to continuous delivery.
Each time, the pattern was the same: the technology arrived before the thinking did. And the most useful thing anyone could do was slow down, pay attention, and ask what's actually changing — versus what just looks like it is.
That's what I'm trying to do here. Again.
Frameworks, mental models, and research notes on what changes when intelligence becomes part of the stack.
Hands-on experiments, working prototypes, and tools exploring the frontier of AI-native development.
Conference talks, podcasts, workshops, and conversations sharing what I am learning.
