Sovereignty by Proof: A Defensive Strategy for European AI

The ground to take: models that prove mathematically that code holds, against any attacker, including a stronger AI. That market is forming now, with hundreds of millions raised in the United States; Europe has an open proof model, not yet anyone selling the guarantee.

Outgrow Your Taste, Don't Defend It

Building a software solution is three distinct activities: understanding a reality, engineering a general machine, and encoding one into the other. Taste is required by none of them, which is exactly why ego hides there.

Make Feedback Loops Attribute, Don't Just Detect

Why feedback loops become more powerful when code makes its system concepts explicit.

How AI Is Changing Our Relationship to Work in Software Engineering

On the excitement of AI-assisted coding, the disappearance of friction, and the need to learn how to tame our new tools.

AI Makes It Absurd to Keep Engineers Away from Reality

When the cost of producing code falls, value shifts toward understanding the real problem.
