Programming is about to undergo a fundamental shift, and it has nothing to do with learning new frameworks or mastering the latest language features. According to Sean Grove, an alignment researcher at OpenAI, the future belongs to those who can write clear specifications rather than clever code. Speaking at a recent developer conference, Grove made...

Software 3.0 Revolution: The AI-Driven Programming Paradigm Shift
The software development landscape has undergone a seismic transformation, with AI coding assistants reaching 76% developer adoption and $45 billion in generative AI funding in 2024 alone. Andrej Karpathy's prophetic Software 1.0/2.0 framework now extends to Software 3.0, where natural language programming has become reality and "vibe coding" is democratizing software creation for millions. This...
Context Engineering: The Real Challenge Behind Building AI Agents
Remember when we thought building AI applications was just about writing clever prompts? Those days feel quaint now. As enterprise AI deployments scale and agents tackle increasingly complex tasks, a new discipline has emerged from the trenches: context engineering. It's not just about what you tell an AI anymore—it's about orchestrating an entire symphony of...
The Art of Metaprompting: How Top Startups Are Engineering Intelligence
Prompt engineering is no longer just about giving commands—it's about crafting intelligence. As AI startups redefine user experience and operational agility, prompt engineering is emerging as the essential interface between human intention and machine performance. From multi-layered architectures to metaprompting, this new craft is shaping the future of intelligent products. From Commands to Conversations: The...
Claude Code Taking Design Lessons from Dieter Rams
Inspired by Peter Gostev's LinkedIn post about his workflow: Data > Claude Code > Visualization > Deploy, I decided to test Claude Code with my own challenge. Peter had analyzed Epoch AI's dataset of 500 AI supercomputers, creating clean visualizations with a simple prompt. Inspired by his approach, I went on transforming a 340-page PDF...
The Jagged Frontier of AGI: Surprising Superpowers, Baffling Failures
AI researchers are finding that today’s most advanced models are superhuman in some ways and stumbly in others. Take OpenAI’s new “o3” model, for example: it aced challenging business tasks in seconds but tripped over a simple children’s riddle. This paradox – uneven, “jagged” performance across tasks – has led Wharton professor Ethan Mollick to...
Model Context Protocol Comparison: MCP vs Function Calling, Plugins, APIs
How does the Model Context Protocol (MCP) compare to other ways of connecting AI to tools? In this article, we break down how MCP stacks up against function calling, plugins, direct APIs, and agent frameworks. We’ll also explore real-world use cases for MCP and where this emerging standard might take us in the future. MCP...
Model Context Protocol: Inside the MCP Architecture
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is redefining how AI systems interact with external tools and data sources. Building on simple function calling, MCP introduces a powerful, modular client-server architecture that enables dynamic tool discovery, secure integration, and efficient session management. In this post, we’ll explore the core components of MCP, including lifecycle phases, primitives like...
A2A vs MCP: Comparing AI Standards for Agent Interoperability
As AI agents increasingly automate and enhance complex workflows, the technology landscape is seeing the rise of crucial interoperability standards. Google's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol and Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) stand out as prominent initiatives that, while complementary, target distinct aspects of AI integration. Here we take a deeper look at both, examining their designs,...
Model Context Protocol (MCP): A New Standard for Tool and Data Integration
Large language models are evolving fast, but their real power comes from connecting to the outside world. Enter Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP)—a universal standard that makes it easier for AI to call external tools, access real-time data, and interact fluidly with services. In this first article of our series, we unpack what MCP is,...
