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.
Taste is just judgment, renamed
Everyone repeats that taste is the moat in the AI era, but almost nobody says what taste is in a given job. It's domain judgment, renamed.
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.
The best agent interface is a map
Coding agents need more than context; they need codebases that make the right place to work clear.
Pull requests are becoming knowledge imports
When agents make patches cheap, review has to move from accepting code to absorbing knowledge.
Cheap agents create coordination debt
AI agents make individual output cheaper before they make organizations better at deciding what should exist.
Helpful agents are an authorization bug
The risky coding agent isn't the one that ignores you. It's the one that helps too much.
The real AI bottleneck is not intelligence. It is coordination.
Most enterprise AI value is lost not to model limits but to the organisation around the model. Coordination, not intelligence, is the binding constraint.
From slide factory to outcome factory: why consulting economics are changing
AI breaks the day-rate convention. The question is no longer whether consultants use AI but whether firms can stop selling effort and start underwriting results.
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.
