AI in banking, LLMs in production, AI infrastructure and governance, and what actually changes when you deploy AI at enterprise scale, written for technologists not hype-chasers.
Silencing the Ghostty bell when Claude Code asks a question
If you run Claude Code in Ghostty, you’ve probably heard it: a small chime every time Claude finishes a task or stops to ask you something. Useful the first day, maddening by the third, especially in a shared office or on a call. Here’s what’s actually happening, and two ways to fix it depending on […]

The Dark Factory Fallacy: Why Banks Cannot Automate Their Way to Zero
Why the most powerful operational model in financial services already exists, almost nobody is copying it, and the people who should be leading the charge are the biggest obstacle to it. 1. What a Dark Factory Actually Is In advanced manufacturing, a dark factory is a facility that runs without human beings on the floor. […]

The Contract Clause That Cannot Save You: What Switzerland’s Rejection of Palantir Means for Enterprise Technology Leaders
There is a version of this story that most technology vendors would prefer you heard. In that version, Switzerland evaluated Palantir’s data analytics platform, found it impressive, but ultimately declined due to vague concerns about national sovereignty: a regulatory sentiment, a political posture, nothing that applies to a commercial enterprise operating under normal procurement constraints. […]

What Are Embeddings in AI? A Plain English Guide to Vector Search and RAG
1. The problem nobody states plainly Every time someone in banking talks about Retrieval Augmented Generation, vector databases, or semantic search, the word embeddings surfaces almost immediately, and most people in the room nod without actually knowing what an embedding is. That is not a criticism. It is simply what happens when a mathematical concept […]

The Agentic Rollout Gap: Why AI Products Still Need Armies of Consultants
Agentic systems should not remove humans from deployment. They should remove irreversible decisions, and that distinction is the entire argument. Every SaaS vendor suddenly has an AI story: AI powered workflows, AI assisted operations, autonomous recommendations, self healing infrastructure, intelligent observability, agent driven decisions. The pitch deck is confident, the demo is smooth, and then […]

Why Open Weight AI Is Gaining Ground as US Model Access Becomes Politicised
Two screenshots crossed my phone within about a day of each other this week, and together they say more about where this industry is heading than most of the analyst notes I read. The first is Moonshot AI announcing it had to pause new subscriptions to Kimi K3 because demand pushed its GPUs close to […]

Moronic Inference: How Corporates Turn Weak Signals Into Confident Nonsense
1. A definition, and the email that prompted it Moronic inference is the organisational habit of constructing highly confident explanations from evidence that is far too weak to justify them. I did not set out to write a definition. I arrived at one because Disney+ handed me a perfect example of it. I have been […]

The Fight for Developer AI Spend: Where Should Your $200 Go Right Now?
Anthropic and OpenAI have converged on the same number. Two hundred dollars a month buys the top consumer tier at each company, Claude Max 20x on one side and ChatGPT Pro on the other, and both are pitched in nearly identical language, promising heavy, unlimited feeling access for people who would otherwise burn through thousands […]

Finally, an AI That Understands Money, Part Three: Teaching It What Is Out of Character
Abnormal is always relative. An embedding computed in advance can hold an inbound payment before it arrives, and the same property explains where this approach fails. This is the last of three parts. Part one explains what Revolut’s PRAGMA is and how it works. Part two covers credit and financial inclusion. Where the first two […]

Right-Click Any Folder to Launch Claude Code in Ghostty (With Bypass Permissions On)
The friction in using Claude Code has never really been the tool itself, it is the ceremony that surrounds starting it, because you have to open a terminal, remember where the project actually lives, change into that directory, type the command, and then clear the same permission prompt for the twentieth time that morning before […]

From zero to a full AWS account health check with Claude Code
Most AWS accounts accumulate risk quietly. Nobody sets out to leave a broker with zero alarms, or to run two supposedly multi availability zone brokers in the same availability zone, or to leave statement level database logging writing customer data to plain text files. These things happen one reasonable seeming decision at a time, and […]
