Learning to prompt like an engineer. This mostly means being intructional rather than narrative in my writing style.
A bigger shift for my brain than I thought it would be! 😖

Seasons change. I can't say I leap out of bed at 5am but love the sunny mornings replacing the candle-lit ones. Change and seasons is where life is at 🔆🕯️

At every meetup or after a talk someone asks: "why not use MCP, why orra?"
MCP = connect LLMs to systems
Orra = coordinate agents in production
Need state coordination, failure handling, audit trails? That's a lot to rebuild.
They work better together!

Good paper on “AI agents” vs “agentic AI”
🛠️ AI agents = digital specialists. They handle one task at a time (think chatbots or virtual assistants).
🤖 Agentic AI = digital project teams. Multiple AIs work together to solve complex, multi-step problems.

Thinking about AI agent evals- more complex (and fascinating!) than I expected. 🤯
It’s not just “does it work?” You have to check:
🏢 Domain rules
🛠️ Right tools & data
🌀 Edge cases
🔄 Full workflows
🙋 User safety & helpfulness
🛡️ Bias & security
No single test covers it all.

Designing for failure is a super useful way of approaching things... it's critical in developer tooling, but where else could this approach be applied?
I kind of always planned things around a plan A - plan B - plan C way but assuming everything won't work all the time is a new headspace for me.

Confession: I paid for X!!!
Why: I thought it would give me less spam / ads and better curation on what I see.
Result: It didn't and I felt like a terrible person funding a terrible person
So what now?: I cancelled my subscription

Extremely sad
Alwaleed Abdeen was barely recognizable in footage taken by the #Sudan army: emanciated, and left in a school-turned-prison run by the #RSF
“Whoever can #torture and kill a peaceful person like Alwaleed… they are a person of no faith, no morality, no humanity.”
