Agentic Payments Move Spending Authority Into the Runtime | Focused Labs
Agentic payments are arriving before payment authority has an owner. At LangChain Interrupt there was a constant return to a payment question for agentic AI: what to do with AI agents that need to spend money. Privy said the payment question kept coming up. Harrison Chase pointed at centralized least privilege, audit trails, and dynamic […]
LangChain Interrupt: Agents Moved Into the Runtime | Focused
Interrupt felt different this year. Less model worship. More runtime. Instead of another round of model worship, the more useful conversations at the conference took a more practical turn. Agents work best when the workflow is built agentically from the start, but as a reality on the ground, many existing enterprise processes are simply wrapped […]
Notion AI for PMs in 2026: Workflow, Limits, and What Actually Saves Time
The premise that doesn’t survive contact Notion’s pitch for AI inside the workspace is that it eliminates the “context-switching tax” — instead of copy-pasting your meeting notes into ChatGPT, summarizing, and pasting the result back, the AI lives where the work already is. The pitch is true. The thing the pitch doesn’t tell you is […]
I gave Hermes Agent 30 days to learn my workflow. It didn’t just remember — it got smarter
Each child runs in an isolated terminal session with its own context window and restricted toolset — no deadlocks, no context bleed. The parent only sees the final summaries. This cut my research time by 60%. Not because the model got faster — because I stopped waiting for one agent to do everything sequentially. Where […]
A Test Pyramid That Earns Its Confidence
Most test pyramids are aspirational. People draw the triangle, point at “many unit tests, fewer integration tests, very few E2E tests,” and then the actual suite turns out to be a pile of slow, overlapping tests that verify the same logic five different ways at five different layers. Push a branch, wait twenty minutes, come […]
How to Set Up a Clean Page Object Model (POM) in Selenium with Java
How to Structure a Clean Selenium-Java Automation Framework Using Page Object Model When you first start with automation testing, it’s easy to write all your test scripts in a single, massive file. But as your project grows, web elements change, and maintenance becomes a nightmare. That is where the Page Object Model (POM) comes to […]
How Would I Build For Right Now
There’s a woman selling food on the street. Two years in. She restocks, pays her supplier, feeds her kids, shows up tomorrow. Not rich, not struggling. Moving. Someone tells her she needs a proper system. Inventory tracking. Demand forecasting. A loyalty programme. Her friends are doing it. She learned about it in school. Serious businesses […]
Stacks en entrevistas técnicas: 3 problemas resueltos paso a paso
¿Cómo lo pensamos? “El último que abrió es el primero que debe cerrarse.” Justo eso es lo que un stack hace bien. Recorremos el string. Cada apertura va al stack. Cada cierre debe coincidir con el tope. Si al final el stack queda vacío, todo cerró bien. Solución function validParentheses(s) { const stack = []; […]
Why I think AI tools should live closer to the browser workflow
Most AI tools still require a context switch. You are reading something, writing something, or replying to someone, then you have to: open another tab paste the context write a prompt generate text copy it back edit it That workflow works, but it creates friction. I have been building ForSocials as a Chrome extension because […]
Why Hytales Treasure Hunt Engines Explode Under Load (And How We Fixed It Without Losing Ourselves)
The Problem We Were Actually Solving The Hytale engine triggers events through a simple pub/sub system called the EventManager. But when we scaled Veltrix to 2,500 concurrent players, the Friday Treasure Hunt would grind to a halt under 1,200 simultaneous participant load. The symptoms werent subtle: EventManager block queue hitting 89% in Redis Streams Latency […]
