I apply AI to enhance humans. I go to concerts and festivals, I like scifi, I love to travel and adventures.
I am estimating that my interventions are in the 20% range now and are mostly directional such as "hey... You are going down the wrong architectural path" or (happened earlier today) "don't downgrade to swift 5.8. stay with 6.2 and fix the concurrency issues"

Unfortunately I haven't kept statistics to give you a confident %. In most cases, i monitor the progress and intervene, if necessary, before the need for retries. However, I understand that I have to start delegating for unsupervised execution at some point.

I have instructed the agents to do lots of logging. In most cases, they figure out integration issues on their own through a combination of log-reading and code understanding. Production agents that can attach to running processes are just around the corner I think. So far so good for me.

I wrote a reflection on 2025 building CVOYA.

The big shift for me wasn’t just what I’m building.
It’s how I’m building it: end-to-end with AI coding agents.

Reflecting on 2025: Building CVOYA's Future with AI Coding Agents - savas parastatidis
As 2025 is now behind us, I wanted to share a few reflections from my CVOYA journey over the last several months. This voyage started with a small set of big questions — the kind that are easy to dayd...

Love Waymo. The speakers are not bad either. Listening to cyberpunk from my Spotify account while riding.

Los Angeles 2026 - Short trip for some art, food, and to hang out with old colleagues (and hopefully new startup partners).

When I arrived at the airport, I met people who were about to depart for Mars to find some warmth.

At least it's not -50C like that time I visited you in Calgary.

I received my first ever tornado alert yesterday. I'm in Indiana. The alert got cancelled relatively soon after but oh boy it got cold since then. It currently feels like 6F (-14.5C). Brrrr!

Phoenix to Palm Desert
The return from Phoenix to Palm Desert was uneventful. I went south this time. Many straight roads!!! I didn’t have time to look for twisty roads because I needed to be back to Palm Desert in time to…

Short road trip for the weekend: Palm Desert, CA, to Phoenix, AZ. Notes in the video's description, including my little adventure trying (and failing) to climb a small rocky hill.

Road trip to Phoenix, AZ. Went there to meet Nuno and Apollo for an MLS Next tournament. I calculated that there were more than 6,000 kids from around the country. Wow! I will remember the way to…

Short motorcycle road trip to Phoenix AZ to meet with Nuno and Apollo (my godson).

I stopped at a roadside bar in Bouse, AZ, that has riffles as door handles (Ocotillo Lodge) 😀 Yup... I'm in Arizona 😀

I took a break from working. DeeVid AI made me smile 😀 This AI-generated movie is based on a "recent" photo of me on a donkey.

To my Microsoft friends, especially in M365. I started this conversation from within Outlook. Copilot doesn't have access to my calendar? Why not? Why is there a dedicated button inside the Outlook UI then?

Unless I am doing something wrong, this isn't a great user experience.
