LLMs as Tools, Not Oracles: A Practical Framework for Effective AI Use
How to Leverage Large Language Models for Real Impact Without Falling for the Expert Illusion
Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming how we work — if you know how to use them. The hype calls them near-experts, but the truth is simpler: they mimic expertise, not possess it. This post wil
The Brute-Force Illusion: Why Bigger AI Models Aren't Smarter
Scaling Delivers Capability, Not Comprehension
"Bigger models, smarter AI" — this mantra has defined recent years of artificial intelligence, promising that scale alone would unlock human-like reasoning. As the hype fades, the limitations of brute
AI: A Field, Not a Buzzword
From Symbolic Logic to Neural Networks — Why AI's Diversity Matters for Engineers
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere — but what even is AI? Behind the buzzword lies a diverse field: symbolic systems, statistical models, neural networks, each with distinct strengths and trad
The Invisible Engineer: Why Your Best Work Disappears (And How to Fix It)
How to prove your impact when prevention is your superpower—and silence is the reward
Your best work disappears—along with your recognition. Consider an aircraft’s flight system: triple redundancy, failover protocols, seamless operation. No heroic rescues. That’s how proactive engineer
Test-Driven Development: The Pragmatic Path to Software Correctness
How executable examples mitigate bugs from ambiguous requirements—the root of 60–80% of defects
Why Most Software Ships With Unproven Assumptions Most software teams face a correctness paradox: they need the rigor of formal verification but can’t afford its cost. Test-Driven Development (TDD) of
