The AI-Driven Leader "Our humanity lies in our ability to think strategically, be creative, and communicate and collaborate to solve complex problems... AI presents a unique opportunity for us to reclaim these human strengths and have machines adjust to meet our needs." This is how The AI-Driven Leader by Geoff Woods begins. An international bestseller with a catchy title and a good rating on Amaz

The OpenAI–Hugging Face Incident A talk that sounds more like a detective story than just a presentation: " The OpenAI–Hugging Face Incident " from OpenAI engineers at Black Hat USA. On July 16, Hugging Face reported that they had been targeted by a cyberattack carried out by autonomous agents. A couple of days later, OpenAI realized that the attack had been caused by their agents eval runs. That

Loop Engineering Over the past year, AI has been constantly bringing new terms and practices into our work. Yet another XX Engineering probably doesn't already surprise anyone. Let's take a look at Loop Engineering , which is hyped right now. The main idea is that an engineer no longer prompts an agent directly. Instead, they design a system that does it on its own . A loop here can be thought of

Loop Engineering from First Principles Continuing the topic of Loop Engineering, I'd like to share the talk: Loop Engineering from First Principles . The author criticizes the current trend of using "blind" agentic loops everywhere. They can lead to a huge volume of generated code that nobody really understands. Quality decreases, the number of bugs grows. No, he doesn't reject the approach itself

The Culture Map Have you ever worked in international distributed teams? Or collaborated with teams from other countries? Then you probably noticed that it can be quite challenging . I didn't think much about that before reading The Culture Map by Erin Meyer. I saw some difficulties in my international teams and put a lot of effort into making it work. But after reading the book, I realized that s

Why Software Factories Fail "Read the Code!" is one of the key ideas from Dex Horthy's talk " Why Software Factories Fail ". The author touches on a very hot topic right now: we are actively pushed to put AI-generated code into production , build software factories, and eliminate the human bottleneck from the process. And all of that would be great if, at the same time, the overall quality of soft

Tracer Bullets Continuing the topic from the previous post, let's talk in more detail about implementing vertical slices . The original concept comes from The Pragmatic Programmer , where it was called tracer bullets . A tracer bullet is a small, end-to-end slice of functionality that touches all layers of the system at once. Matt Pocock in his article adapts this concept to AI engineering: - Buil
