The Full Context Product: How Agentic AI Redefines the Relationship Between Teams and the Software They Own
A variation on the dark factory thesis. Humans remain, humans are accountable, and what changes is everything else. 1. The Team That Memory Built There is a certain kind of organisational structure that forms not by design but by accumulated necessity. Take a low code onboarding system. It changes twice a year. It breaks twice […]

Apple Didn’t Plan This: How the Mac mini and Mac Studio Became the AI Industry’s Favorite Workstation
A follow-up to DGX vs Mac Studio for Local LLMs: A Startup’s Guide to Choosing Your AI Hardware When I wrote the DGX vs Mac Studio comparison in June, the framing was still that a startup buys hardware for its own inference workload. Since then the story has widened considerably. It is no longer just […]

Wintel Is Dying to LinARM: How Mythos Class AI Just Tipped the Scales
Published on andrewbaker.ninja This is a researched opinion piece. The data points are sourced and linked in the references at the end, but the conclusions drawn from them are mine. I recognise that some of what follows will not be comfortable reading, particularly for teams that have built careers, processes, and significant capital programmes around […]

AI Coding Costs Are Guesswork Without This: Instrumenting OpenCode And Claude Code
My inference bill last month was large enough to require an explanation, and my first instinct was the same one most people reach for: I had run one expensive model for everything, so the fix was to route the cheap work to a cheap model and keep the frontier model for the hard parts. That […]

The Biggest Threat to AI Investment Is AI Itself: How $700 Billion in Infrastructure Could Be Wiped Out by the Technology It Was Built to Run
There is a version of this story that the technology industry tells itself, and it goes like this: AI infrastructure spending is large, the returns will take time, but the demand is real and the economics will eventually follow. It is the same story told during the cloud buildout, and that one worked out. It […]

Claude Code Remote Control & Computer Use: 2026 Guide

Why AI Pilots Fail to Reach Production (And How to Fix It)
Gartner says 40% of agentic AI projects will fail by 2027. I think they’re being optimistic. Walk into almost any large enterprise right now and you’ll find the same scene: a glossy AI pilot, a proud press release, a steering committee meeting monthly to “track progress,” and an absolutely zero percent chance that any of […]

The Cloud AI Marketplace War Is Over, and AWS Won
By Andrew Baker | andrewbaker.ninja I am going to tell you that AWS won. Not in the “we had a good quarter” sense, and not in the “interesting competitive development” sense. In the final, structural sense. The kind of winning that does not get reversed in the next product cycle. I say this as someone […]

AI and Organisational Design: When Capability Belongs to Opportunity and Purpose, Not the Org Chart
1. What I saw in Kruger I was walking through Kruger National Park recently when I noticed small pieces of metal sticking out of the ground, the remains of old fence posts. I asked the ranger what they were, and he explained that Kruger had not always been the enormous open ecosystem we see today. […]

The Universal Travel Adapter for AI, and Why OpenRouter Is So Cool
Anyone who has travelled with a laptop knows the ritual. You arrive somewhere new, you pull out your charger, and you discover that the wall has entirely different opinions about what a plug should look like. The device in your bag has not changed and the electricity coming out of the wall has not changed […]
