Notes on agents, security, and what actually ships.
- What I am building: an open cybersecurity agent
A model and a harness for security work, released open source. Written down early so the claims are checkable later.
- The decade of the agent
Agents are oversold on timeline, not on direction. The gap between a demo and a system that survives a bad Tuesday is where the whole argument lives.
- The bottleneck moved
AI did not kill software engineering. It made writing code cheap, which relocated the hard part to deciding what to build and proving it works.
- Cheaper thinking, more work
The mass-unemployment argument assumes demand for cognitive work is fixed. Every previous time we made something dramatically cheaper, it was not.
