Every frontier AI lab is now using its own models to build the next version of itself. The bootstrapping of the self improvement loop has begun and is likely to accelerate. In March 2026, three things happened within the same two-week window. Chinese AI lab MiniMax released M2.7, which they described as "our first model...

Your PM Shouldn’t Be a Project Document Processor
Every project manager I know spends the first few days of a new project doing the same thing: reading through a stack of documents and manually re-entering what she finds into whatever tools her organization uses. Cost sheet first — extract the invoice schedule, identify the manpower plan, record the authorized amounts. Then the SOW...
The Jobs AI Will Hit First: What Karpathy’s New Data Tells Us About $3.7 Trillion in Exposed Wages
Andrej Karpathy, the former Tesla AI chief and OpenAI co-founder, just released an open-source tool that scores every major U.S. occupation on its estimated exposure to current AI capabilities. The project pulls 2024 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook — covering 342 job types, roughly 143 million workers, and every sector...
reWritable: Software that knows how to change itself
When I built clive, the core insight was deceptively simple: don't give the agent a list of tools. Give it an environment.An API is a call-response primitive. You invoke it, it returns something, the state lives somewhere else. An environment is a thing you inhabit. You enter it, act inside it, leave it different than...
The Cost Sheet Problem Nobody Talks About
A cost sheet is more than a budget document. It is the financial blueprint of an engagement — capturing manpower rates, vendor costs, planned invoices, outgoing payments, and deliverables, all in one place. It's the heart of the project. When it's accurate and up to date, it tells you whether the project is financially healthy....
Clive Can Now Modify Itself
We've been building clive — a CLI Live Environment that gives an LLM a terminal and a keyboard. The core idea is simple: instead of wrapping tools in APIs and schemas, you let the agent read the screen and type. The terminal becomes the interface. The loop becomes the protocol. We've added something that takes...
The Terminal as Agent Interface: Introducing clive
There is a quiet assumption embedded in most agent infrastructure: that agents need structured interfaces. APIs, schemas, tool definitions, protocols like MCP or A2A. The assumption is that the gap between an LLM and a system needs to be bridged by something machine-readable. clive starts from a different assumption. LLMs are excellent at reading text...
The Case for a Single Source of Truth: Why Integrated PMO Tools are Non-Negotiable
In many organizations, "Project Management" is synonymous with "Data Hunting.". When a PMO (Project Management Office) doesn't have a centralized tool, they don't actually manage projects — they manage spreadsheets. According to Wellingtone's 2025 State of Project Management report, 42% of PMOs still spend at least one full working day every month doing nothing but...
Departments Are Albums: Agentic AI and the Coming Corporate Unbundling
In 2000, the music industry had a problem it misdiagnosed. Napster was stealing albums. The fix was obvious: stop the theft, protect the bundle. The album — twelve songs, a cover, a price — had structured the industry for fifty years. Labels, distributors, retailers, and artists all organized themselves around it. By 2003, iTunes had...
Code as Action: The Pattern Behind Programmatic Tool Calling
There's a design decision buried inside every AI agent that most developers make without realizing they've made it: what is the atomic unit of action? For most agent systems built in the last two years, the answer is a tool call — a single function invoked with a JSON payload, its result surfaced back to...
