Perspectives on the emerging OSA category — what it is, why it matters, and where software delivery is headed.
Runaway API Loops: The Silent Cost of a Single Bug in an AI Agent
A mismatched variable. A logic error. An unhandled exception. Any one of them can send an AI agent into an infinite loop that burns through your API tokens for hours before anyone notices — if anyone notices at all.
Vibe Coding and the Illusion of Working Software
AI coding tools can produce applications that look finished and run without errors. That's not the same as software that's secure, maintainable, or correct under real conditions. The difference is what programmers are for.
Autonomous AI Agents Without Guardrails: The Real Risks to Your Data and Finances
The promise of autonomous AI agents is compelling — software that acts on your behalf across multiple systems simultaneously. The risk, when those agents operate without meaningful constraints, is equally real.
