In short

Recent industry criticism is being challenged as a misinterpretation of evolving technical knowledge access rather than the actual decline of underlying platform assets. In response, product development has accelerated following the release of an API-first knowledge exchange for automated systems, paired with new developer-focused tools and plugins. Across the wider sector, technical organizations are discovering that constructing internal artificial intelligence context layers frequently turns into a full-time operational burden for platform teams within six months. At the same time, employers are struggling with candidate evaluation as polished resumes complicate hiring, while static docu…

How to know what you don't know?

Who knows!

Everybody's resume is perfect now, so how do you find the perfect teammate?

I’ve seen the recent predictions about Stack Overflow’s demise. They make for compelling headlines, but they confuse a change in how people access knowledge with the disappearance of the knowledge—and the company—behind it.

The AI governance argument is happening one layer above the code that actually stops your agent.

Earlier this month, my team at Stacklok surveyed 520 technical leaders to understand whether they were concerned about being locked into frontier labs. The data says they’re already swapping models in and out, but the trap they’re concerned about is the layer on top of the model.

A maturity model for taking agents from an impressive demo to a system people can depend on — with a self-assessment and the map to a deep-dive on each layer.

Most engineering teams capable of building an internal AI knowledge system think they should. But six months later, it's a platform team's full-time job. Building an in-house AI context layer costs more…
