This article breaks down how to approach creative automation in a way that actually holds up under pressure, covering the systems, metrics, and guardrails that separate sustainable growth from expensive chaos.

Buy vs Build in the Age of AI (Part 1)

A few months ago, I spoke to an engineering manager who proudly told me they had rebuilt their monitoring stack over a long weekend. They’d used AI to scaffold synthetic checks. They’d generated alert logic with dynamic thresholds.

Beyond "Reactive" Accessibility: Meeting the 2026 ADA Title II Mandate in Higher Ed

For decades, digital accessibility in state-funded higher education has largely been a "reactive" game.

The post-mortem problem

Post-mortems are one of the most consistently underperforming rituals in software engineering. Most teams do them. Most teams know theirs aren't working. And most teams reach for the same diagnosis: the templates are too long, nobody has time, and nobody reads them anyway. These aren't wrong observations. But they're symptoms, not causes. The actual problem is that somewhere along the way, the post-mortem stopped being a piece of communication and became a compliance artifact.
