    “Tickling the Wires: Hilarious Tales from the Tech Support Trenches”

    ByGlen Rhodes April 22, 2024May 9, 2024

    In the world of 10-digit error codes and countless hours spent troubleshooting, tech support professionals are the unsung heroes who keep our digital lives running smoothly. They are the patient, compassionate frontline warriors who, despite facing a relentless barrage of problems, never shy away from going the extra mile to fix them. There’s no denying,…

    GPT-5.3 Instant rollout signals a shift from capability competition to experience and personality quality as the main differentiator

    ByGlen Rhodes March 3, 2026

    “More Accurate, Less Cringe.” OpenAI Just Changed What Winning Looks Like. OpenAI dropped GPT-5.3 Instant on March 3rd with one of the shortest release announcements I’ve seen from a major AI lab: “More accurate, less cringe.” That’s the whole pitch. No benchmark tables. No parameter count bragging. No comparison charts showing GPT beating competitors on…

    On-device AI inference with Qwen 3.5 on iPhone 17 collapses the cloud subscription model assumption

    ByGlen Rhodes March 3, 2026

    The Subscription Is Optional Now Most people saw the Qwen 3.5 demo and thought “neat trick.” I looked at it and thought: this is the moment the cloud AI pricing model started dying, and almost nobody is talking about it. Here is what happened. Alibaba’s Qwen team released Qwen 3.5, a model that runs fully…

    AI agent swarm reconstructs Operation Epic Fury in 4D from public OSINT data, raising questions about capability compression and information asymmetry

    ByGlen Rhodes March 3, 2026

    One Person. Public Data. A God’s-Eye View of a War. That’s the headline nobody in defense intelligence wants to see circulating on a Monday morning. Bilawal Sidhu posted a video over the weekend that stopped me cold. He built a full 24-hour 4D reconstruction of Operation Epic Fury, the Iran strikes, inside WorldView, using nothing…

    ByGlen Rhodes March 3, 2026

    One Person. A Laptop. A God’s-Eye View of a War. Last weekend, a developer named Bilawal Sidhu posted something that stopped me mid-scroll. He had rebuilt a full 24-hour, 4D replay of Operation Epic Fury, the Iran strike campaign, inside WorldView. No defense contract. No team of analysts. No proprietary satellite feeds. Just an AI…

  • AI agent reliability failures happen at transition points between steps, not in the core reasoning loop

    AI agent reliability failures happen at transition points between steps, not in the core reasoning loop

    ByGlen Rhodes March 2, 2026

    The Seams Are Where Your Agent Breaks I’ve shipped enough AI agents to know where the bodies are buried. And they’re almost never where you expect them. Everyone obsesses over the reasoning loop. Prompt engineering, retrieval quality, context window strategy, model selection. All real concerns. All worth the time. But in my experience, the 90%…

    Karpathy’s multi-agent research org experiment: parallelism works, scientific judgment doesn’t yet

    ByGlen Rhodes March 1, 2026

    Karpathy’s Multi-Agent Research Org: The Parallelism Works, the Science Doesn’t I’ve been waiting for someone credible to actually run this experiment instead of just theorizing about it. Andrej Karpathy did. And the results are more interesting than either the optimists or the skeptics predicted. The Setup Eight agents. Four Claude, four Codex. Each agent gets…

    Contrarian take: prompt engineering as a skill is depreciating, context architecture is the real emerging discipline

    ByGlen Rhodes March 1, 2026

    The Prompt Engineering Bubble Is Deflating I’ve watched a lot of skills go from “career differentiator” to “table stakes” to “irrelevant” in this industry. Prompt engineering is moving through that cycle faster than almost anything I’ve seen. And the people who built their identity around it are going to have a rough 18 months. Let…

    Claude Skills and progressive context disclosure as a real engineering pattern, not prompt engineering

    ByGlen Rhodes March 1, 2026

    Claude Skills Are Not Prompt Engineering. Stop Treating Them That Way. I’ve spent the last year building agents, and I keep watching developers make the same mistake. They discover Claude Skills, read the YAML frontmatter, see the instruction blocks, and immediately think: “Oh, this is just a fancier way to write a system prompt.” Then…

    Agent reliability comes from information architecture, not prompt quality. Scoping context deliberately is the real engineering skill.

    ByGlen Rhodes February 28, 2026

    The Context Window Is Your Architecture Most engineers treat agents the way they treat prompts. Write the instructions, run the loop, fix what breaks, repeat. I did this too. I spent weeks tweaking system prompts, adding more specific language, stacking examples, and wondering why my agents kept doing something subtly wrong on step four of…

    Apple Xcode 26.3 integrates Claude and Codex with MCP support, threatening standalone iOS vibe coding apps

    ByGlen Rhodes February 28, 2026

    Apple Just Weaponized Xcode Against the AI Coding App Market This one deserves more attention than it’s getting. On February 27, Apple pushed Xcode 26.3 to the Mac App Store. Greg Joswiak announced it directly: “Xcode 26.3 with Claude Agent and Codex hits the Mac App Store today! With advanced reasoning capabilities in Xcode, you…
