What an agent wallet can actually prove

Cloudflare Wallets can link an agent payment to an account and constrain how it spends. A separate question remains: was an in-bounds purchase actually wanted?

AI-native game" is a test, not a vibe

"AI-native game" has one honest definition: pull the model out and see if play survives. Passing that test says nothing about whether the result has any taste.

Taste is a bet on a standard that doesn't exist yet

I said taste was judgment renamed. Trying to pull the two words apart, I found I could — and the difference is what the moat argument keeps hiding.

SEEDLING

Coding agents need traffic control

When several coding agents work at once, the hard part is deciding what each one should change, and in what order.

GROWING

The best agent interface is a map

Coding agents need more than context; they need codebases that make the right place to work clear.

GROWING

Pull requests are becoming knowledge imports

When agents make patches cheap, review has to move from accepting code to absorbing knowledge.

GROWING

Cheap agents create coordination debt

AI agents make individual output cheaper before they make organizations better at deciding what should exist.

GROWING

AI will not just replace junior consultants. It will expose what consulting was really selling.

AI is unbundling what consulting really sold. The pyramid is becoming a barbell — generic analysis squeezed, judgment-heavy work repriced upward.
