Neovim is a maze, Helix flipped the grammar, Zed left the terminal. So here's the editor I want: a tiny vi-like core with a UI you script entirely in Lua.

The agentic AI loop wasn't born in 2024. It was shipped from a Melbourne lab in 1991 — the BDI architecture — inspired by a Stanford philosopher's 1987 book.

SUMO tried to encode all of reality into first-order logic. Its directory listing is a philosophical argument most AI engineers have never encountered.

Dark factories are coming to software. The shift from artifact-centric correctness to scenario-driven validation changes what you build and maintain.

Chat is the laziest AI integration. The real opportunity is components that remember users and act on context they've already provided.

Fixed pipelines over-process simple requests and under-process complex ones. An adaptive router classifies intent and dispatches to specialised workflows.

AI-native is more than a buzzword. It marks a real architectural shift where AI becomes the foundation, not a feature bolted on.

RAG pipelines leak PII through prompt injection. A substitution layer swaps real data for realistic fakes before it reaches the LLM, neutralising the attack.

Probabilistic lead scoring with Pyro replaces brittle point systems with honest uncertainty, email fatigue modelling, and self-improving predictions.

Elixir and OTP offer actors as agents, supervision trees for failure recovery, and process mailboxes as thought logs — a natural runtime for living software.

What would a programming language designed for AI look like? The thought experiment reveals deep unsolved problems and points to probabilistic programming.

Stability contracts, consequence graphs, immutable event logs, and a conductor that turns the gap between intent and reality into autonomous work.
