Escaping Generative Monoculture in AI-Assisted Engineering
AI coding assistants accelerate routine implementation, but their statistical defaults can narrow architecture choices. A practical framework for preserving engineering divergence.
Privacy-Preserving AI Enablement: A Validation Framework for 300 Engineers
A privacy-preserving framework using PR size distribution, AST code survival, review depth, and CI/CD outcomes to validate whether AI coding tools improve delivery or amplify technical debt.
Spec-First AI Workflows and the Risk to Software Quality
AI coding assistants boost raw throughput, but they can amplify technical debt when teams skip rigorous spec-first planning. Backed by GitClear's 153M line analysis, DORA 2025, and ACM CCS research.
The Review Bottleneck: Software Engineering After Code Becomes Cheap
AI moved the software delivery bottleneck from implementation to review. Teams need risk-tiered review contracts, not larger queues of unread generated code.
The Liability of Code: Software Engineering After AI
In AI-assisted engineering, code is a liability carrying token cost, long-term support cost, and governance risk. The strongest engineer minimizes code while governing durable systems.
The Theory of the Centaur Layer: Software Engineering at Infinite Speed
To deeply understand and expand the theory of the Centaur Layer, we analyze how the fundamental physics of software development change when execution speed approaches infinity.
