Performance & Priorities

LLM inference optimization eliminated padding overhead through hardware-aware sequence packing in a C++ backend, while engineering judgment has become the scarce resource as coding barriers collapse. The shift from implementation challenges to ownership, validation, and taste reflects a changing landscape where deciding what should exist matters more than building it.

Agent Boundaries

AI agents require careful rule-setting to prevent autonomous decision-making that could lead to unintended consequences, establishing boundaries that keep agents effective and out of trouble.
