A funny thing happened after I finished my new white paper, Software Manufacturing.

In February I stopped talking to my coding agents in chat and built a loop instead.

Most conversations about AI maturity are really conversations about capability.

Over the past year, the AI community has become very good at packaging expertise.

The scaling law is breaking: more software no longer requires more engineers.

We finally learned that the prompt was not the product.

We have stretched the word "agentic" so far that it now includes almost anything with an LLM, a tool call, and a diagram.

The current AI conversation is obsessed with loops.

Every major shift in software changes the unit of engineering.

Every week, a new frontier model arrives with better benchmarks, larger context windows, and increasingly capable agents.

Code was identity.

Everyone is building AI agents.

AI has made it dramatically easier to build software.

In traditional engineering, determinism is real.

Last year I explored the idea of FLUID software as a design philosophy.
