Brady Hawkins @bradyhawkins.dev · 15/09/2026Juniors have it hard these days. Between the pressure to use AI, the constant barrage of "You need to learn this", and the economic pressure of late stage capitalism. I feel for them. Burn out is a real occupational hazard. 000

Not in the sense of knowing exactly the steps the agent took to complete a task, or to reach a failing state. There’s no backtrace, no information about why something didn’t work." apichangelog.substack.com/p/why-ai-age...apichangelog.substack.comWhy AI Agents Need Standard ObservabilityHow do you debug an AI agent that behaves differently every time it runs the same task? 031

Brady Hawkins @bradyhawkins.dev · 04/08/2026The structure of this leaves something to be desired. What happens with agents over time. Agent writes code. Code gets messier. Next agent works on it. Next agent adds more mess. Complexity compounds. This isn't how real software works. 000
Brady Hawkins @bradyhawkins.dev · 04/08/2026Also theres no control for a messy but agent friendly codebase. 100
Brady Hawkins @bradyhawkins.dev · 04/08/2026The methodology here is suspect too. Implementing rules from SonarQube with agents and then turning fresh agents onto those problems seems like it is biased towards better results. 100

Brady Hawkins @bradyhawkins.dev · 04/07/2026You got me on housing but I'd push back on car sprawl. The cities that are the most car centric here are still far better planned than most countries. Places like almere or lelystad have great public transit. Even Zeeland is relatively easy to get around without a vehicle. 020

Brady Hawkins @bradyhawkins.dev · 09/06/2026The atmosphere feels more and more like IM in the early 2000s with social layered on top. I can post my status, what I'm listening to, or chat with people. Is there an interesting it uniquely provides? Any apps that couldn't exist anywhere else. I am aware of the interop, it is a big plus. 231
Brady Hawkins @bradyhawkins.dev · 03/06/2026I love a good feasibility study. This is an important middle ground between running everything locally and handing the future of AI to Big Tech.
