Why AI Ethics Should Always Be A Part Of Every Modern Technology Discussion

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the world at an incredibly fast pace. It's around us, in our homes with smart devices, and in the operations of big businesses with sophisticated algorithms. One thing that people don't pay attention to is the impact of these machines when they're only looking at all the amazing things that they can do. It is crucial to talk about the ethical implications of AI in this day and age, so that these potent instruments can serve human beings rather than infringe upon our basic rights.

Claim SR&ED Using AI: The Complete Workflow From Project Planning to Tax Filing

For many entrepreneurs, tax credits are treated as something to think about after the work is done. That can be an expensive habit. If your company spends time developing new technology, improving products, testing new processes, or solving technical problems, some of that work may qualify for Canada's Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program. But there is a catch: by the time tax season arrives, the details that could support a strong claim may be buried in project notes, emails, proposals, spreadsheets, and someone's memory.

Flamegraphs Find It. Replay Proves It.

I made an API endpoint 13 times faster. Then I realized my first verification only checked the status, headers, and response schema. I had not checked the totals. I had made the bug faster. That is the problem with giving an AI coding agent one kind of evidence. A CPU profile can show where the application is slow, but not whether an optimization preserves behavior. A traffic replay can prove that behavior stayed stable, but not explain why the code burns CPU. This walkthrough gives the agent two independent witnesses: Together, they turn AI code verification into an experiment with two independent checks.

Monitor outages with StatusGator MCP and Claude

When a service your organization depends on stops working, you need to know whether the problem is internal or caused by a third-party provider. Connecting StatusGator to Claude gives you a faster way to find out. You can ask Claude what is down, investigate provider incidents, review affected components, and analyze historical uptime using data from your StatusGator account.

Diagnose Serial N+1 API Calls With Tempo + proxymock

One API request took 302 milliseconds. Nothing failed. CPU was mostly idle. The response was correct. The trace made the problem obvious: eight inventory calls, each waiting for the previous one. But the trace could not tell me why the application made eight calls, or whether changing their execution would preserve the response. It showed the shape of the wait, not the input that created it.

LLM cost management: a practical guide for teams that own the budget

LLM cost management is the practice of tracking, allocating, budgeting, and governing large language model spend so every dollar maps to a feature, team, and business outcome. It has five levels: provider visibility, business allocation, unit economics, model governance, and a continuous optimization loop. It matters because 68% of companies say AI initiatives ran over budget last year, and per CloudZero's 2026 survey, 30% of finance leaders still reconcile AI spend manually.

AGENTS.md vs. skills: How to steer a coding agent

Every team adopting coding agents hits the same question early: where do you put the instructions that tell the agent how your codebase actually works? Two answers dominate the conversation right now. One is AGENTS.md, a plain markdown file at the root of your repo. The other is skills, packaged instruction sets an agent loads on demand. Most of the debate treats this as a formatting decision. It isn’t.

Starting your engineering career in the AI era: 6 takeaways for junior developers

“We don’t need junior engineers anymore” has become one of those lines people repeat because it sounds obvious. The AI writes the code, so why pay someone to learn how to write it? On the latest Confident Commit podcast, Rob Zuber makes the case that this take is exactly backwards.

Solving bugs with elmah.io and Claude Code - a real-life example

I spend most of my day in Claude Code these days. Most of my development processes changed after having access to my own personal assistant. In this post, I'll show you a real-life example of how bug fixes are often done on elmah.io now. I hope it will inspire someone to optimize their workflow and get even more out of their elmah.io subscription.

Don't build the autonomous AI factory first

Here's a scene playing out in engineering teams right now. An engineer spends the weekend running four or five coding agents in parallel. Monday morning, a teammate opens their laptop to 53 changed files with 2000+ diffs and a message that says, more or less, "should be good to merge." Nobody asked for this much output. Nobody has time to review it properly. The team doesn't feel faster. It feels ambushed.
