Opus 4.7 Isn't Slower. Your Prompts Are.

Since Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 on April 16, 2026, a consistent complaint has rippled through developer communities: it feels slower. Threads tell roughly the same story — the prompts that worked perfectly on Opus 4.6 now take noticeably longer to return, sometimes pause for what feels like forever

Your Claude Plugin Marketplace Needs More Than a Git Repo

Anthropic's official plugin directory has 55+ curated Claude Code plugins since launch. The community tracks another 72. By end of 2026, most large engineering orgs will have a private marketplace too — and most of them will ship the architecture wrong. The mistake: treating the marketplace as a distribution

The Model Doesn't Matter. The Harness Does.

Six frontier coding models now score within 0.8 points of each other on SWE-bench Verified. The same model wrapped in different agent frameworks swings almost ten points on SWE-bench Pro. Picking an agent platform based on which model it runs misses where the real performance differences come from. The

AI Agents Are Killing Seat-Based SaaS Pricing. Here's What's Replacing It.

Intercom's Fin AI agent went from $1M to $100M+ ARR on one pricing move: $0.99 per resolved ticket. Not per seat, not per month. Per outcome. Fin now handles 80%+ of Intercom's customer support volume and closes about a million conversations a week, and Intercom

38% of AI Answers Are Wrong — And It's Your Prompt's Fault

Every week someone posts about AI hallucination like it's a mystery. It's not. A 2025 Frontiers in AI study measured it: vague, multi-objective prompts hallucinate 38.3% of the time. Structured, single-focus prompts? 18.1%. That's a 20-point accuracy gap from how you write

Building a Plugin Marketplace for AI-Native Workflows

Most AI coding tools ship as monoliths. One big system prompt, one set of capabilities, one-size-fits-all. That works fine for general software engineering. It falls apart the moment you need domain-specific workflows that vary by role, by team, and by engagement. I build presales systems at Presidio — client research, SOW

Context Engineering Is the New Prompt Engineering

Everyone's writing better prompts. Few are building better context. That's the gap. Prompt engineering treats AI like a search box — craft the perfect query, get the perfect answer. Context engineering treats AI like a new team member — give them the right docs, the right access, and

AWS Frontier Agents: What $50/Hour Pen Testing and $30/Hour SRE Means for Platform Teams

AWS just launched two autonomous AI agents — Security Agent and DevOps Agent — and they're both generally available now. These aren't chatbots with polished wrappers. They're persistent, autonomous systems that run for hours or days without human oversight, doing work that previously required dedicated teams.

The systems behind enterprise AI adoption success - IBM

Everyone's Buying GPUs. Almost Nobody's Ready to Feed Them. The enterprise AI conversation has a blind spot the size of a data center. Every budget meeting I've sat in over the past 18 months has the same shape: GPU allocation gets 70% of the
