The author reflects on how coding agents have transformed software engineering productivity, shifting bottlenecks from implementation time to judgment and design decisions. He argues that judgment—supported by curated expert skills and best practices—will become the critical constraint in building secure, maintainable, and reliable software.

This article discusses management strategies for 2026 in the context of AI tool adoption, arguing that managers must become builders, set higher expectations, manage AI consumption budgets, and enforce collaboration — but contains no security-relevant content.

Not a security article. This is a software development methodology post about creating unified planning documents that combine PRDs, architecture diagrams, and implementation approaches for team and AI agent collaboration.

This article examines NASA's software architecture principles for space missions, emphasizing how redundancy, fault-recovery mechanisms, and extensive testing enable spacecraft to survive hardware failures and operate autonomously millions of miles from Earth. Real historical examples (Voyager 2, Apollo 11, Opportunity, Curiosity) demonstrate how recovery-oriented design and the ability to remotely update software have extended mission lifespans and prevented mission failures.
