Plan 9 lost as a product but won as a set of ideas, leaving a mark on modern operating systems far greater than its current user base suggests.

Twenty-five years ago, I made my first donation to an open source project and purchased a CD with an operating system as downloading a few hundred megabytes over a 14.4kbps dial-up wasn't very fun.

AI has dramatically accelerated the path to a first working version. It has not shortened the distance between a first working version and something production-grade.

There's a seductive narrative in AI-assisted development right now that as the models keep getting better, so does the code that they generate. Claude Opus 4.6 writes cleaner code than 3.5 did. GPT-5.2 outperforms GPT-4 on SWE-bench. Gemini 3.0 Pro is mor

For the past year, AI agents have been interacting with the web the way a blindfolded person navigates a room, by bumping into things. They take screenshots, parse raw DOM trees, and synthesize click events, hoping the button they need hasn't moved five p

For decades, specifications served code. They were the scaffolding we built and then quietly abandoned once the "real work" of coding began. PRDs were written to guide development, architecture diagrams drawn to inform implementation, acceptance criteria

The rise of agentic AI has been one of the most fascinating developments in the post-ChatGPT era. We've moved from conversational interfaces that answer questions to autonomous systems that can take action by reading your emails, managing your calendar, e

DeepSeek R1, the new entrant to the Large Language Model wars has created quite a splash over the last few weeks. Its entrance into a space dominated by the Big Corps, while pursuing asymmetric and novel strategies has been a refreshing eye-opener.

Twenty years ago, it was easy to dislike Microsoft. It was the quintessential evil MegaCorp that was quick to squash competition, often ruthlessly, but in some cases slowly through a more insidious process of embracing, extending, and exterminating anythi

I'm happy to announce, that after a long wait, patent US-11604662-B2 has been issued. I want to thank and recognize my co-inventors, Div Prakash and Subin George, who I'm privileged to be on paper with. The effort that led to this work involved a group of
