A rant about the worst AI book ever written [2026w24] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect is widely praised as a visionary masterpiece of the singularity, but I'm here to tell you it is the absolute worst book about artificial intelligence I have ever subjected myself to. In this episode of leadprompt.sh, I am breaking down exactly why this so-called "hard sci-fi" classic completely derails itself. I get into the horrific opening chapters, the absolute abandonment of actual systems architecture in favor of magical tech hand-wavium, and a bizarre,
Everything breaks all of the time [2026w23] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of leadprompt.sh, I explore why accepting that "everything breaks all of the time" is actually the foundation of a resilient engineering culture. Instead of chasing the impossible goal of perfect uptime, I break down how you can build systems designed for rapid recovery using observability, auto-remediation, and AI predictive tools. Beyond the tech stack, we dive into the reality of managing a Sev-1 outage, where I share my strict "facts only" rule for communicating with business
Devs have pivoted from frameworks to AI models [2026w22] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Remember when we used to spend our weekends arguing over the "right" routing syntax or which JavaScript framework was going to take over the world? Those days are rapidly ending. In this episode of Lead Prompt, I break down why the developer ecosystem has completely pivoted away from frameworks and toward AI models. From my early days releasing the Alpha Framework for PHP to today's frontier of running open-weight models locally on Linux hardware, the landscape of software engineering has fundam
Why Your Enterprise Hates Software [2026w21] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do large enterprises treat their engineering teams like a massive liability? In this episode, I break down the painful reality of the "build vs. buy" vendor trap, and how generative AI is giving software leaders the ultimate leverage to fight back. Learn how to transform your department from a resented cost center into a lean, AI-augmented strike team capable of building bespoke internal software for a fraction of a vendor license, all while maintaining strict security over your proprietary
Humans are terrible programmers [2026w20] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We panic about AI writing bad code, but are human programmers actually any better? In this episode of Lead Prompt, I draw on over twenty years of software engineering experience to expose an uncomfortable truth: humans are objectively terrible at programming. Beyond the weekly headaches of deployment regressions and the false security of human-written unit tests, I break down five of the most catastrophic software failures in history, including the tragic Therac-25 accidents, the Ariane 5 rocket
