The DevOps work every team has, Mendral already does. The work only your team has, the chores no vendor ships, you can now hand to an agent by describing it in Slack. How Automations work, and the seven that Blaxel runs in production without writing a lin

A 75-engineer team loses about $375,000 a year to flaky tests in developer time alone. Here's the math, the CI compute bill, and the costs you can't put in a spreadsheet.

A brief (irreverent) history of software supply chain security, and what to do about it in the age of AI.

Two architectures for running agent harnesses, the tradeoffs between them, and how we make skills and memories work when the harness isn't local.

Same models, different tokens. What changes when you build an agent harness specialized for CI instead of general-purpose coding.

We switched to a frontier model and our costs went down. Here's the architecture that made it possible.
