Deterministic Agentic (data) Systems

If you’re anything like me, you’re tired of the never-ending stream of useless AI content that seems to have reached a fever pitch. Echo chamber upon echo chamber, influencers convinced they have reached a new level of Agnetic Nirvana; they sip tea while a swarm of digital workers produces the most perfect code.

It’s the same old delusions of programmers focused on the wrong thing, convinced their custom Neovim setup has somehow catapulted them into god-level status, and destined them to be worshipped as the premier coder of our age.

The same goes to the Claude and Cursor neophyties, conviced their Skills have opened up a new horizion of consciousness.

I mostly ignore that crap. Just as I ignored the “Checkout my IDE from heaven” acolytes of the past.” True careers were never built upon code, before or during the Age of AI, but on the application of technical skills to the surrounding ancillary and adjacent sources of pain … called the business.

I have simply adopted AI into my dev workflows as a nessary adoption of 
technology that the market place demands. It's truely a game changing
set of tools that can make working throughout the entire software lifecycle
from concept to reality, a pleasure.

I’ve also had the blessing, or the curse, of building real-life agentic systems that actually have to be more than “Hello, world.” The ChatBot tutorials simply don’t cut it when the rubber meets the road, and you have to meet the ever-changing, demanding business needs.
