This article is adapted from The Confidence Trap, part of the "2026 Supply Chain Reckoning" series on my No Regressions newsletter. Your boss calls you on a Friday afternoon. He's read all the available data, he tells you with absolute confidence, and he's decided that migrating from Spring Boot...

Why Java Developers Over-Trust AI-Generated Code

AI coding tools sound confident even when they're wrong. Here's the psychology behind why Java developers accept bad suggestions — and habits that help.

Far-Right Religious Leaders Advising Trump See Iran as an End Times Holy War

By making the case that the war with Iran is a holy crusade, the evangelicals around the president are making it impossible to end.

#Agentic systems need more than prompts and model calls. They need a surrounding machinery that helps the system observe itself and improve, including logs, metrics, traces, tests, and specifications.

This post [1] gives a good rundown of the key considerations:
1. Generic quality scores like helpfulness or #hallucination are often not very useful because they do not explain what actually failed. Define narrow metrics tied to specific failure modes. (1/4)

Sleeping too long makes me see a lot of things I shouldn't see. I'm so confused, those visuals are so real but terrifying.

#AI #code often includes references to non-existent dependencies. These references are commonly called “#hallucinations”. A new type of #attack has arisen that involves an attacker registering a package whose name is frequently hallucinated. When AI code containing this #hallucination is accepted, and this dependency is installed, the attacker can ship #malicious code into the project’s build, introducing a major #security vulnerability. This type of attack has become known as “#slopsquatting”.

Ask Claude about the string “ba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2ec73b00361bbef0469f11ef0b01d449c8e6” When it gives you an answer: ask it to verify that this number is correct.
